Boo-Freakin-Hoo. I hope the political climate ALWAYS prohibits the Chi-coms from buying up US companies.

Patriotism in Wall Street? The Chinese bid was uncertain because of DC political opposition - the Chevron bid was certain.

Good morning.
"I bet that cost someone a pretty penny..."

What is the cost to the Chinese government of an AK round these days?

Does the US give foreign aid to China?

I found out today that my government (Canada) currently gives them approx. $1 Million / week,($50 Million this year), and has given them $10 Billion in the last 10 years.

That sounds just SO wrong. Most favored to take us over?

Now we'll see what Plan B is.
Make an offer for Chevron ?





It's just a matter of time. The Chinese are very patient, the frog is still kicking just a little despite the high water temperature...

Again POLITICS rules everything. Maybe China should consider resticting US companies expending business too...if they could afford...

I guess they just didn't have a yen to continue.

(groan)

Yeah, that was bad but it was SO easy.

As easy as selling U.S. satellite and missile targeting technology to the ChiComs.

Hello Billigula? That means YOU, ya treasonous SOB.
