L,

Please try and get some balance into to your arguments.

Seriously "elections in Vietnam" now "booting Tincom out".

My take is that the Chinese will know that ESI is badly needing this DaTang deal therefore negotiation could go right to the edge of the cliff for ESI. The Chinese are NOT stupid or run business charities for tin-pot Aussie companies and will drive a very hard bargain or even come up with their own competing coldry-like process (within 3-months). You infer by your rhetoric that Datang is in somewhat of a hurry - why?? Chinese has all the time in the world along with their buckets of money.

This time next year we could be number 1 of the domestic briquette business - because that is the only thing ESI has sold to date.
