Ann: COVID-19 pandemic,market volatility & withdrawal of guidance, page-28

Confrontation would be unfortunate for LNK and CPU and global markets but inevitable IMHO, I expect killing of the virus would be in the design of those outcomes. the wet markets continue on the mainland, selling bats as well.

Those stories were picked up on the weekend in the English press and a former English Opposition Leader, Iain Duncan-Smith called for the immediate suspension of trade ties until Beijing suspended the wet markets.

So it is not only President Trump but also the English who are starting to ask questions about Ai Fen, the continuation of the wet markets in Hubei, selling of bats, the January decisions on the mainland, the lack of information shared with the west.

McMurtrie and LNK need to take into account the confrontational aspect IMHO..
