Now the Big Two instead of the Big Three? How does a near dictatorship, communist nation get to eat Americas lunch, jobs, and now it's large corporations? Name any American corporation and they will be on the scope of Chinese, state-owned and/or state run acquisition.

China’s Great Wall Motor Co. is interested in bidding for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, a company official said on Monday, confirming reports it is pursuing all or part of the owner of the Jeep and Ram truck brands.
There has been speculation over Chinese interest in FCA since Automotive News reported last week that an unidentified “well-known Chinese automaker” made an offer earlier this month, triggering a jump in FCA’s Milan-listed shares.
“With respect to this case, we currently have an intention to acquire. We are interested in (FCA),” an official at Great Wall Motor’s press relations department told Reuters by phone. He declined to give his name and gave no further details.
FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne is seeking a partner or buyer for the world’s seventh-largest automaker to help it manage rising costs, comply with emissions regulations and develop technology for electric and self-driving cars.
In a statement, Fiat Chrysler said it had not been approached by Great Wall Motor, and was busy with implementing its current five-year business plan.
Earlier on Monday, two people familiar with the matter said Great Wall Motor had asked for a meeting with FCA, with the aim of making an offer for all or part of the group. Also on Monday, citing an email from Great Wall Motor President Wang Fengying, Automotive News reported Great Wall had contacted FCA to express interest specifically in the Jeep brand.
The industry publication cited a Great Wall spokesman confirming interest, but saying the Chinese automaker had not made a formal offer or met with FCA’s board.
“Our strategic goal is to become the world’s largest SUV maker,” Automotive News quoted the spokesman as saying. “Acquiring Jeep, a global SUV brand, would enable us to achieve our goal sooner and better (than on our own).”
FCA shares rose 3.9 percent to 11.12 euros in Milan, outperforming a flat market. Great Wall Motor shares closed up almost 3 percent in Shanghai.
