Because it seems to be a noticeable shift towards that end in so called economic restructuring policy. Their ideas are certainly making an impact
Also, I don't know why they would raise that in the protest? If anything, the degree of foreign control in MNCs in the finance sector seem to be even higher than those in science and manufacturing. Plenty of red tape as well in the latter sector regarding things like technology transfer but at least you get some degree of real benefit from it.
