Didn't Chinese take a Greek port in like 2010?
You don't care if a foreign power controls a mall - but that is not the same as controlling ports / other infrastructure.
You can tax every person's salary by ramping up fees at the ports, or destroy all the malls in the country via the port.
I'm not saying it's a bad deal or a good deal - I don't know enough about all the effects.. but there isn't much difference in taking some money from a paycheck and making everything you buy with said paycheck more expensive for example.
