【新唐人2011年9月5日訊】由中共當局基金背後支持的投資機構，將以12 億美元，收購陷於破產困境的美國職業棒球大聯盟洛杉磯道奇隊 ( Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team)，有關收購正待美國法院判決。消息引起中美輿論的討論，有評論指出，這可能是「中國版洛克菲勒中心收購案」，意思是指中國將有如日本，在收購後經濟馬上一 蹶不振。
《洛杉磯時報》9月2號報導，有知情者透露，「洛杉磯馬拉松協會」創辦人比爾•伯克（Bill Burke），已向洛杉磯道奇棒球隊的擁有者弗蘭克•麥柯特（Frank McCourt）發出收購文件，出價12億美元，購買這支財務狀況慘澹的球隊經營權，有關交易需得到美國棒球聯盟和破產法院批准，整個交易將以現金收購方式完成。
道奇老闆麥柯特因為身陷離婚官司，而使這支傳統勁旅財務困窘，遭到大聯盟代管營運。今年 6月，道奇棒球隊向美國地方破產法庭提交了破產申請。
《富比士》（Forbes）雜誌報導，麥柯特在2004年以4.3億美元買下的道奇隊，現值約8億美元，不過另一家芝加哥運動顧問公司則認為，道奇隊的價值約為9到11億美元之間。但從大聯盟總裁席利格所取得的訊息，道奇也有高達5.5億的負債。比爾•伯克（Bill Burke）找到中國一家由中共當局所擁有的投資機構，將提供12億美元支援。
若交易成功，這將是美國職業棒球大聯盟最大宗收購案。
美國《華爾街日報》評論指出，「事件令人想起上世紀80年代，日本投資者收購紐約洛克菲勒中心、加州卵石灘高爾夫球場等地標性資產。結果，日本經濟馬上跌下懸崖，從未恢復元氣。」評論質疑中共收購道奇球隊可能出現「中國版洛克菲勒中心收購案」。
《大紀元》新聞網報導，著名的諮詢機構埃森哲（Accenture）曾經指出，從2008年到2010年間，中資外國併購個案多達120宗，總金額超過6,000億人民幣。值得注意的是，中資於外國的收購行動，已從側重於能源領域，逐漸擴展至文化和休閑體育等領域。
而根據《美國通》網站近期的報導，中資銀行去年為紐約市房地產投入10億美元貸款。來自中國的投資者正在購買豪華公寓，也計劃投入商業和住宅地產數億美元，開發類似布魯克林大西洋院（Atlantic Yards）那樣的工程。
報導說，跟蹤商業地產銷售現實的資本分析（Real Capital Analytics）總裁法蘇洛（Dan Fasulo）有一天梳理中資投資的紐約市地產交易時，發現名單越來越長。讓他感到非常吃驚。
另據港媒報導，中國富豪黃怒波斥資880萬美元，想購買冰島一個300平方公里的牧場，計劃建造為戶外娛樂區，引起外國媒體質疑。外媒擔憂北京當局「可能想獲得在北大西洋戰略立足點」，「方便中國在北極地區爭取地緣政治利益」。
香港《蘋果報》發表題為《中資 93億救美職棒球隊 對外展示軟實力 網民轟愚蠢》文章，報導指出，中國內地有輿論稱讚，收購道奇隊是中國對外顯示「軟實力」的機會，但是，不少網民炮轟當局愚蠢，有網民說:「送禮也不能這麼大方!如果是官方的錢，就請跟納稅人說清楚!」

China: $1.2 Billion for L.A Dodgers
A group of investors indirectly financed by the CCP
(Chinese Communist Party) offered $1.2 billion to buy
the bankrupt Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team,
the acquisition is subject to the approval
of the U.S Bankruptcy Court. This news triggered
discussion among U.S and China public,
some critics indicated that this may be a “Chinese version
of the Rockefeller Center acquisition,"
implying China will follow Japan』s economic slump
after the acquisition.
The LA Times reported on September 2,
that LA Marathon founder, Bill Burke,
sent a letter to Frank McCourt, owner of the LA Dodgers
offering $1.2 billion in cash to buy the Dodgers,
all real estate related to the team, and media rights. This
transaction is subject to the Major League Baseball (MLB)
and the U.S Bankruptcy Court approval.
Dodgers』 owner, Frank McCourt, is caught up in his divorce
settlement, leaving L.A Dodgers in financial difficulties,
thus MLB will take over the team.
In June 2011, the Dodgers filed bankruptcy protection
to the U.S District Bankruptcy Court.
Forbes magazine estimated Dodgers』 worth at $800 million.
McCourt bought the Dodgers for $430 million in 2004.
Another Chicago sports industry consulting firm,
Sportscorp Ltd, believes that Dodgers could be worth
anywhere between $900 million to $1.1 billion.
Base on MLB commissioner Selig』s letter to McCourt,
Dodgers carries over $550 million in debt.
Bill Burke』s 1.2 billion bid would be financed from
“certain state-owned investment institutions
of the People’s Republic of China.”
If the transaction is successful, it will be the largest
U.S Major League Baseball acquisition.
Wall Street Journal commented that this acquisition reminded
many of the Japanese investors who bought
the New York Rockefeller Center,
and California Pebble Beach golf course in the 1980s.
The Japanese economy plunged and hasn』t yet recovered.
The article questioned if the Dodgers purchase may be the
“Chinese version of the Rockefeller Center acquisition."
The Epoch Times reported that the consulting firm,
Accenture, indicated the Chinese capital foreign merger
and acquisition cases reached 120 from 2008 to 2010
with over RMB 600 billion.
Among them, its focus had shifted from the energy sector
and extended to culture and leisure sports sectors.
According to a how2usa.com recent report, Chinese banks
invested $1 billion in New York City real estate last year.
Chinese investors are buying luxury apartments, and also
plan to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial
and residential real estate, developing projects similar to
the Brooklyn Atlantic Yards.
The report stated that the president of Real Capital Analytics,
Dan Fasulo, who tracks commercial real estate sales,
was shocked to see the growing long list of the Chinese
capital investment in New York City real estate transactions.
Hong Kong media reported that a wealthy Chinese man,
Huang Nubo, offered $8.8 million for a 300 sq m of pasture
in Iceland, planning to build an outdoor entertainment area.
Foreign media questioned whether this was a strategy
for Chinese authorities to get a foothold
in the North Atlantic to obtain
the Arctic geopolitical interests.
Hong Kong』s Apple Daily published an article entitled
“China spends RMB 9.3 billion to save U.S baseball team,
show off its soft power, netizens call it stupid,"
the article showed some public opinion in mainland China
praised the Dodgers』 acquisition as an opportunity for China
to show “soft power," but many netizens called it “stupid.”
Some commented: “The gift is too generous!
If it is state money, please explain it to the taxpayers!"
