People always misunderstand everything and think it's all very simple. Foreign companies can buy Japanese companies completely. The thing is that the bigger the company is the more tightly every foreign investment is regulated. For example getting 5% from Nintendo or Sony would be way harder and buying any of them out completely would be close to impossible. On the other hand investment in companies like Marvelous is less tightly regulated and it wasn't so hard for Tencent to aquire a 20% share. Outright buying Capcom would be very hard or close to impossible for the Saudis because the Japanese government tries to keep most of the revenue flow of their big companies within the country. |
Yep, the funny part is the article he linked to show "proof" of his 1% claim clearly showed that foreign companies can invest more than 1%. But I guess reading comphrension is hard for many people.
