Not sure if you meant this sarcastically, but if that happens, fuck it. This is the world we made. To pretend we have free-market capitalism while propping up shitty business practices with tax-payer sponsored bailouts is not free-market capitalism. Institute laws about foreign governments buying up bankrupt assets or something. But for the love of god don't just bail them out.
This is the same as scolding a child hitting their sibling and then giving them a fucking cookie. Then when they keep hitting people, at least have the sense not to be confused why they don't learn.

After seeing how Boeing and American-run airlines operate, I'd have a lot more trust in Chinese-run airlines and airplanes than anything run by American managers.
