Fron the Island Business article quoted in the 'ramu' thread: 'And the stakes are set to get even higher with some conjecture that the Ramu Nickel litigation is not about potential environmental damage at all but a ploy by US interests to thwart this large Chinese investment in PNG by encouraging and funding the landowners, some NGOs and their lawyers in vexatious litigation.'
This reminds me of 1990 when the Copper Club of New York declared Frances Ona, leader of the Bougainville Revolutionary Army, '1990 Copper Man of the Year' - since he had done more than any other person in the world to keep copper prices high by closing Panguna Mine.
A very high stakes game being played out here in PNG. The court case may go away but other acitons may start.
