"And the latest "Golden Shares" and a seat on the Board.......it's never ending."

This is an example where one needs to decipher the fact from the fine prints in western reports and draw your own conclusion. The fact is there is an investment fund or a business, which is majority owned by the government, that has invested about 1% in a tiny subsidiary of BABA or Tencent. Does that mean the government has taken control of BABA or Tencent as the western reports implied? Or is it a pure investment decision where the government plays no role?
