Can somebody explain to me why is it a good idea to operate the utilities (water, power) of a foreign country? China is buying up a lot of them, but in inconsequential places like Zambia or Portugal. It’s like they can jack up prices at will. It’s heavily regulated.

Could easily observe infrastructure development, probably gain access to government systems and military intel as well... OTOH how hard is it to hack Zambia?

Or, less complex: insure energy suppliers run well enough for your planned resource extraction operations. Can't expect Zambians to meet market demands in a timely manner.
