RE: China to spend on capital projects to revive their economy?4 Mar 2020 15:36
" China will be looking to ease their immediate economic situation by investing in projects which will (more) immediately inject life in their domestic economy"
China always has, and always will look at a long game, it is ingrained into their thinking and has been for centuries.
I agree they will be planning short term domestic stimulus, but they have always excelled at securing strategic long term advantage where possible. If you have ever been to developing nations in Africa (I have) you will see evidence of Chinese investment everywhere. There are signs in Chinese, and Chinese Engineers/Construction worker all over the place.
Zanaga is a significant, long term, strategic potential asset, they will make sure they secure it, for us it would be better, like a house sale to have several interested parties, however the Chinese will do for me.
Again I reiterate, the Chinese think very long term, sometimes more than the current incumbents lifetimes, some may say well that means they are in no rush, I could agree....once they secure the asse.t....., but I suspect they will want to exploit to secure supplies and gain a price advantage that would feed into wider, and greater, economic benefits that far far outweigh the value of Zanaga alone.
Like the Chinese, you just need to be patient to make your fortune, don't listen to those that have no real message but a huge agenda, nothing wrong with negative viewpoints, when relevant and on point, but manipulators abound, you know who they are.
Current pices are very attractive, if you think long term, buying now will double your eventual pot over where the SP was a relatively short time ago, China can only function and modernise by (strategic) growth, as an OP pointed out, domestic projects can only go so far, hence belt and road. Zanaga is a no brainer.
