ann: mog clears its position and supports meo, page-3

Anatolie, I agree with your view on CUE. It's shareprice has been in the doldrums for ages, is in the doldrums now, and will in the territories of absolute irrelevance in the future.
CUE's S.P may benefit a bit as a result of this Artemis Deal, but it will be gradually smothered again and sent to the oubliettes of eternal insignificance.
MEO-MOG are going to do very-very well out of this New Partnership with the Multinational Oil-Gas Behemoth, and of-course we, shareholders will benefit....
Now, as for the Chinese.....Well, allow me to disagree....
They are not exactly as arrogantly supercilious as you are making them out to be. They have an intrinsic -very careful- initial approach to anything "Foreign" to them. It's only natural, after what they have suffered at the hands of Foreigners, Westerners, (Europeans, mainly, forgotten the Extra-Territoriality enforced Agreements?) Easterners (Japanese, they invaded China 5 times) and Northerners (Mongolians-Russians)....
Slowly though, as they get to work with and learn more about the Westerner Ethics, Transparency, Justice, Democracy and Laws, they are becoming more and more receptive to our way of thinking......In fact, I believe, in a few years time, the Chinese, will be just as easy to deal with , as it is today with a Fellow Westerner. Here, we should not forget the fact that many Chinese (most in fact) Companies are directly accountable to the State and the State Laws , hence their (initially at least) apprehensivenes when making forays into "uncharted Territories"......
I expect, IF it's the Chinese who were responsible (still a big IF) for CUE's "NO", to see a reversal by Wednesday.....
I also expect a speedy and "somehow" amicable verdict in the Stern Hu (Rio Tinto) case in Shanghai......

PS. Disclaimer. I am closely linked to the Chinese, and I also have a degree in Asian Studies.

Cheers Anatolie file mou...Sorry for my long dissertation, endeavouring to analyse and explain the virtuous and friendly, humane nature of the Chinese......To conclude: China Never Invaded any other Country with belligerent and ulterior ultimate aims. Throughout its history, China has been a very friendly and Peaceful Nation.....:)))
