"Is BHP the only one who wants to buy Rio?" said Australian mining magnate Michael Kiernan, managing director of Territory Resources , which sells millions of tonnes of iron ore to China.

"No, but who else can afford Rio? The Chinese, maybe, but my experience has been they would rather be a partner than an outright owner," he said, adding he has resisted offers from Chinese investors to acquire a stake in his company.
