China raising the flag of U.S. protectionism after recent cross border corporate takeovers were scuttled over national security concerns.

"Media is becoming so technology and data focused so any business move to take over a company that would give a Chinese internet company data not only affects those companies in trade, but it affects media and technology," explains Fischer.

Fischer explains CFIUS is concerned giving foreign interests so much access to data would be a national security problem.
