why do you think the host country tends to resist cross-border acquisitions, rather than green field investments

The host country tends to view greenfield investments as creating new production facilities and new jobs.

In contrast, cross-border acquisitions can be viewed as foreign takeover of existing domestic firms, without creating new job opportunities.
