Abstract: In his speech of 15 January 2017, France's Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, speaks of "plundering investments", suspecting Chinese investors of wanting to "loot" French technology. These statements inscribe the Minister of the French Economy in line with economic patriotism from Colbert to Montebourg, but this time, they are part of a broader movement of distrust and resistance to investment from China that is hitting all the Western countries. And while the French government is planning to expand the scope of decrees controlling foreign investment, many other countries are doing the same. [First paragraph]
