Knowing how lawyers operate, I'm slightly apprehensive Clifford Chance may be planning to massively inflate the scope.

They have been craftily playing the long game laying in ambush more than a year knowing sooner or later the Chinese SOEs will have to reveal themselves.

Such as when Metallurgical Corp of China signs up offtake ore supply contracts or the mining contractor is identified, they will pounce and serve the PRC
government with notices of dispute.

Then they get the western MSM to pile on to blacken the silk road and CCP. Hoping manufactured outrage and political pressure will make China walk away from the project. Hope not

Just my 2 cents worth.

C'mon Ding. Hurry Up !
