chinese, page-6

this will not mean a get out of jail free card for nse to go spending chinese money at abandon!

a matter of fact it complicates things, and knowing how the chinese can delay and delay things to manouvre a situation to their advantage, it could lead to more financial drains on the company as time is wasted - wcl holders know all about that with petro, and maybe sdl with another chinese co.

muzza has a point too in that it is really conoco pulling back a bit from the canning

the chinese play a long game and are shrewd - as i was saying yesterday, they dont want to be too dependent on any one area geographically, but particularly the middle east and africa!
