I dont believe he’s done any such thing.
He’s merely alerting people to the fact we seem to be selling ourselves (cheaply) to a foreign dictatorship.

Being cautious and critical of where Chinese Communist party is placing their money (and influence) should be encouraged, even if this particular deal turns out to be innocuous.
