china's hanlong group ready to close sundance , page-5

Pandev - the Board is not "letting it slide". The Chinese and Africans are letting it slide. SDL has no choice as the Chinese are the only bidder in town. SDL is reliant on the goodwill of the Africans and the funding of China. They are the ones to blame if we are witch hunting. If we blow the Chinese away, then Africa would deal direct. They are not a first world country. They are high on the list of corruption. Congo has not issues a permit yet. It took Cameroon ages to issue a convention.Cannot you see that? If China walks (from our deal) then we have nothing, get it?
