swan blocks chinese takeover of oz mine, page-70

Hey guys

some points

most Chinese geos working anywhere in the world know of the following case where an American geo was warned off prospecting 'near' a missile base - see

And they know Herron was up against state paranoia. They also know that Beijing is ready to use any ruse to justify a Beijing company first policy... Let me repeat 'ruse'.

Minmetals offer would not be the case of a Chinese (private) company investing in an Oz project, the very idea of a company not paying obseiance to Beijing means that we can be sure the company would not be run on commercial lines when political expediency might suggest other courses of action.

I now think - see my earlier post - that Swan could be speaking to the Chinese in CHINESE - a language they understand - Woomera, does not equal salt bush and decaying compounds, it is now a Mandarin word meaning get out of my nest.
