Anyway ... if
- a home entity is operating in a foreign realm,
- obeys the laws of the foreign realm,
- brings back money to the home realm,
- doesn't try to turn the home realm into the foreign realm.
what is the problem?
Just because a company operates in a foreign realm under their laws doesn't mean it's trying to turn its home realm into the foreign realm.
Now, if the entity is partially owned by the foreign realm ... then we can question motives, of course.
