Oh, Brother the Hypocracy

There is a certain amount of hypocracy in foreign relations making "friends" of people who will never be friends, and trying to put the best face on government actions that are totally transparent.  But, I had to laugh when I read the comments by the Chinese on the Lattice deal that was nixed by President Trump.  " We hope that certain countries can look at Chinese companies’ overseas acquisitions objectively and fairly, and provide fair treatment to this kind of normal commercial activity,” said Gao Feng, the ministry spokesman." This from a country that has a long, long list of limits on foreign investment in its own country.  This from a country that has tied down even Apple with restrictions on music and movies, and dictates which companies will have Chinese leadership, whether a buyer wants it or not.  Then, when reciprocal actions are taken by "certain countries" they cry foul.  Oh Brother, the hypocracy of these comments can't be matched.
