The Death Of The Daigou, page-38

Well, that was rather unpleasant response to what was entirely a fair commercially oriented post.

I’m a Synlait shareholder, so it is actually in my personal interest that Yashili and Synlait are doing what they are doing.

I’ve no issue with Chinese investment in general, money is money.

I don’t though think that particular venture is in the best interest of New Zealand, New Zealanders or the New Zealand economy, and such investment decisions should be better evaluated from the get go by the NZ foreign investment board.

My view is that the Yashili investment should have been blocked for entirely the same reasons that the Lockinvar investment was blocked, it didn’t offer a net material commercial benefit to the New Zealand economy. In the case of the Yashili investment it will probably have a net impact.

You might like to get off your high horse, probably a long way down I suspect.

Have a nice day.
