"Hopefully this doesn't happen to KRY which I wouldn't imagine it will due to the
fact that LC is such a big deposit and that China has VZ by the balls"

Reality posts should be always welcomed. Many are so attached to this thing that it is seemingly impossible for things to hit the skids. China is our saviour etc. They are business oriented like any other people in this case. If Chavez sends wrong vibes about this deal at really any point in time China could simply back out. Doesn't mean any other deal China has with Vz gets turfed as well. Too many think China will give Hugo a spanking if this goes awry, that's nonsense imo.

The statement that China has Vz by the balls has always rubbed me wrong. I don't buy that with Hugo at the helm. He's a loose cannon capable of anything, and don't forget Chavez has basically said "kry out". Point is we're still in.

Time will tell
