Chinese (unlike the Americans or Europeans) have a lot more than just profit as a motive. I wouldn't go so far so as to say it's "anti-national", but the consequences of today's actions will have their bearing in the future.
Also, in the spirit of being fair, maybe the "no advise" should apply to only state owned Chinese companies. But can you ever tell which is which!?
