I can't really see how a BHP takeover of Rio can occur and a Chinese takeover of BHP by February (2 months away), unless you mean February 2010 or 2011. It would take at least a year and possibly two years for BHP-Rio to clear all regulatory hurdles and then a Chinese consortium takeover of the combined group would also have its own regulatory hurdles (in addition to global competition issues, there would certainly be foreign ownership issues in Australia and possibly issues in the EU if the Chinese Sovereign Fund is involved) to overcome.
