You aren't listening.  Dubai Ports World is owned by the UAE government. 
This is more equivalent to the US Transportation Department purchasing 
another country's infrastructure-- or at least the right to manage it.  Oh 
yeah, and under the port deal, all safety and other management info would be 
stored in the UAE and unavailable legally to US lawsuits, part of the lovely 
deal negotiated with the Bush administration.
