Perhaps that is why he is flapping his lips on the international stage about "taking back Las Cristinas (again)" and not mentioning the Chinese involvement....he wants to drive down KRY's price to facilitate a lowball Chinese buy-out.....which would, in turn, facilitate his ultimate goal....a Venezuela-China joint venture.

I'll pose this morning's question again: "who stands to gain by Hugo's public statements regarding Las Cristinas and the associated omission of facts?"

KRY?....NO

Venezuela?...Possibly

China?...Possibly
