Great post. Just to add a little tit bit, I don't see much noise about Zijin's Lawyers (CCP State Owned company) helping to defend the DRC Gov in the case AVZ have brought to the ICSID.
So there is a state owned Chinese company, paying for legal council to support a foreign Government (DRC), against an Australian company (AVZ).
Wherein the DRC Gov and one of its majority owned subsidiaries have committed nothing less than fraud against said Australian company. (AVZ)
What a juicy story this would make in the AFR, shame the AFR are a pack of cock suckers. Any other takers out there or journalists that have the gumption to write a negative article about China, or have you all lost your nerve?
Of course this overlaps into concerns as to who is funding FAT TAIL imbeciles as well.
I know it's only the ABC, but Ian Verrender is the Business Editor and recently wrote this article:
Critical minerals may derail Australia's relationship with China
The dust has barely settled after Australia and China reached an uneasy truce, but our abundance of critical minerals and China's stranglehold on them has us in the middle of a geopolitical tug of war between America and the Middle Kingdom, writes Ian Verrender.
I wonder if he might be interested in the AVZ story as a follow-up to that article and a more detailed investigation into the Chinese web of influence, both on and offshore.
