Why should we care where money comes from so long as it is legal and so long as there is not a national security concern? Should there be any preference for a private french citizen's money as compared to a private chinese citizen's? Isn't that one of the things that makes this country better than places like China which place all sorts of arbitrary restrictions on who can buy certain things there? I agree that the opaqueness of LLCs can be a problem but the fact we have such hysteria about a random student just because he's chinese smacks of racism. Those who are truly concerned about the malign influence that comes along with chinese money would do well to vote with their wallets and not support businesses that end up sending work to china in exchange for money (That and holding accountable the politicians who allowed china to exploit the system of world trade while not playing by the rules). That is your prerogative but the general fungibility of money in a ostensibly free-market system is a virtue that should be preserved.
