Businesses may get the perception that when they are dealing with China they are not negotiating on normal internationally recognized commercial terms and if China doesn't like the way the negotiations are going they may be thrown in jail for endangering China's national security and economic interests.

Considering China's history, this may not be a misguided perception.
