You do not become one of the poorest countries with one of the highest resource endowments by being a just and well run country. Who knows what will happen and what was the right course of acton to take. There probably wasn't one on offer as it's hard to apply rational thinking to chaos and greed.

Can you provide evidence that Zijin requested an extension. I have been made aware of another (highly credible) reason for the delay, but can't substantiate it, so won't broadcast it
