> They are doing a superb job of giving the impression they have little control over money leaving the country.

Well, the US tries to promote the ability of Americans to engage in foreign investment, because foreign investment is a great way to suck money out of a country. If I buy a countries companies, then all the profit from that country goes to me. It's actually in China's interest to have "money leaving the country". And it is more in China's interest to have no one fight back.
