The unsolicited bid by China National Offshore Oil Corp, or CNOOC, initiated the first-ever big takeover battle by a Chinese company for a U.S. corporation. It may also be a watershed in Chinese corporate behavior and demonstrates the increasing influence of Wall Street’s bare-knuckled hostile-takeover tactics in Asia. CNOOC’s bid, which comes two months after Unocal agreed to be sold to Chevron, an American oil giant, for $16.4 billion, is expected to trigger a potentially costly bidding war over California-based Unocal, a large, independent oil. company. Moreover, the bid is likely to provoke a fierce debate in Washington about U.S. trade policies with China and the role of the two governments in the growing trend of deal making between comp
