On zijin vs Cath
zijin out
cath in
gov wants to show it's dealing with corruption and unfair contacts
while promoting investment and win-win partnerships.
Keeping CATH at the party takes the country factor out of there equation and lets them boot out zijin without simply coming across as anti China.
not all Chinese companies are equal
zijin is perfect example of what government wants to get rid of.
cath perfect example of partnerships they want to encourage.
AVZ will get whatever share that was expected when they were negotiating with CATH.
just depends now if the Gov wants to retain more than 10%, but unlikely as their goal is to attract investment not finance themselves, and avz/Cath/manono will be kicking off bigger things in batteries for DRC.
