But when Germany reacted by selling a minority share of one single terminal

Not even the terminal, but of terminal operations: The Chinese said "if we're going to be frequent customers we want to have a say in scheduling etc" and that's perfectly fair. It's also a common.

Any actual physical infrastructure is completely off limits to foreign investment, and "foreign", here, from the point of view of Hamburg, means "anyone who is not the city itself".
