Headline can be made more accurate:

Un-investable Hedge Funder Says Country is Un-investable”



>China committed similar acts leading to capital flight and a collapse in valuations. The same will happen to Brazil unless they quickly retreat from these illegal acts.

Um what? China is just a victim of its own success - which the US saw as a threat to its power.

US elites have been pretty relentless when it comes to "China bad" propaganda. My guess is that they don't want competition from China for their own products/services. IE. Elon doesn't want Chinese EVs on US soil. Eric Schmidt doesn't want Chinese tech companies to be able to compete against US tech companies he has investments in. Since China isn't just their factory anymore, they suddenly don't like China anymore.

Similarly, I think Ackman does not want competition from China for companies in his portfolio.
