家园 咱就报复了又怎么着。 澳洲人可以把一场收购案上升到国家安全的角度，利用完中国人就算，既然你做了初一，就别怨中国人做十五了，什么便宜都让澳洲人占了，世界上没那么美的事！！！况且我们手头是有证据的
家园 陆克文向戈尔求助了，为啥不是奥教主呢？ 家园 鬼佬偷东西被捉，为啥还这么不知耻？ 家园 想起一小故事 话说非洲某酋长和白人传教士说“你们来的时候，我们有土地，你们有上帝。然后你说，和我闭上眼睛祈祷吧。我和你一起祈祷完睁开眼睛。发现我们有了上帝，你们有了土地”。您想，该酋长如果在祈祷的时候睁开眼睛，是不是也会被说成是“强盗”呢？
家园 负责实际操作的都是几个汉奸，脏活鬼佬一般不沾手的 鬼子不太懂中国的人情世故，这种事，一般都是假洋鬼子负责的，他们对国情比较清楚。
家园 因为伦家是免煮国滴 家园 其实是鬼佬要吃亏了。 素来如此，要吃亏了，就开始耍无赖，玩无耻。
占便宜的时候，以前也吃相不好，现在多了个普世价值的屏风。
家园 外电报道，中国接受33%降幅 真假不知。
另外，不是鬼佬要吃亏了，而是少捞一点而已。
China Accepts Ore Cut, May Allow Rio Talks to Lapse (Update4)Share | Email | Print | A A A
By Bloomberg News
July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Major Chinese steelmakers have accepted a temporary
33 percent iron ore price cut from Rio Tinto Group, and may allow annual
contract talks to lapse, Umetal Research Institute said.
Some of the nation’s largest mills have accepted a “provisional” 33
percent price cut offered by London-based Rio, the world’s second-largest
producer, said Shanghai-based analyst Hu Kai, declining to name the
steelmakers. He said there may be no official announcement about the price
agreement.
The China Iron and Steel Association, leading the talks, sought a discount
of as much as 45 percent after its mills posted losses, more than the 33
percent cut agreed by Japanese and Korean steelmakers. China detained four
Rio executives on July 5 for allegedly stealing state secrets that it said
harmed the nation’s economic interest and security.
“Rio is unlikely to budge on the price cuts because of the arrests as it
won’t be consistent with its business practices,” Hu said. “The talks may
end quietly as steelmakers accept the 33 percent as a provisional cut.”
Rio’s shares rose 1 percent to A$49.63 as of 1:05 p.m. Sydney time on the
Australian stock exchange.
Chinese authorities last week said they had evidence that Rio employees,
including Stern Hu, an Australian citizen and head of iron ore operations in
China, stole state secrets. China is accusing Hu of bribing steel
executives during iron ore price talks, Australia’s Foreign Minister
Stephen Smith said July 10.
All Measures
Australia is taking all measures possible to ensure the well-being of Hu,
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said today. Foreign Minister Smith will meet with
a Chinese vice foreign minister tomorrow in Egypt to discuss the detention
of Hu, Rudd said.
This year’s price talks between China and iron ore producers began in
January, and passed the June 30 deadline without an agreement, becoming the
longest-running in the 40- year history of setting annual prices for the
steelmaking material. The 33 percent cut is the first drop in prices in
seven years.
Hebei Iron & Steel Group, China’s second-biggest mill by 2008 output,
accepted the provisional cut while the talks were continuing, Tian Zhiping,
Hebei’s vice president, said last week in an interview.
The price talks are ongoing and may conclude soon, Zou Jian, a former
chairman of the China Metallurgical Mining Enterprise Association, said
today in Beijing. Zou cited information from the China Iron & Steel
Association for his comment.
Settlement Price
Shan Shanghua, secretary general of the Chinese steel association, couldn’t
be reached for comment. Nick Cobban, a spokesman for Rio in London,
declined to comment.
The contract price for the benchmark Rio product was settled at about $61 a
metric ton, excluding freight costs, for Japanese and Korean mills. Shipping
the ore to China’s Qingdao port from Western Australia would cost about $
13.32, according to the Baltic Dry Index.
The price of iron ore for immediate delivery to China rose 5.5 percent to $
87 a ton, including freight costs, for the week ended July 10, according to
Metal Bulletin.
Vale SA, BHP Billiton Ltd. and Rio Tinto have trimmed spot sales to China to
ensure supplies to customers in Europe, Japan and South Korea which have
agreed to the contract prices, Umetal said last week, leading to higher cash
prices in China.
‘Swing Back’
“The steelmakers may swing back to buying from spot should the cash market
fall in the future,” Umetal’s Hu said.
Rio’s sales on the spot market were continuing, spokesman Ian Head said
from Melbourne today. The Financial Times reported Rio and BHP stopped
putting spot iron ore shipments up for bid, citing the Steel Business
Briefing.
“It’s business as usual,” Head said. The report was “not correct,” he
said. BHP Billiton spokeswoman Samantha Evans declined to comment on the
company’s spot sales into China.
Executives from 16 Chinese steel mills taking part in iron ore talks this
year received payments from Rio employees, China Daily newspaper reported
today, citing an industry “insider” it didn’t identify. Rio’s Head
declined to comment on the report.
Laiwu Iron & Steel Group’s shipping executive Wang Hongjiu was “taken away
” by authorities on suspicion of providing information to Rio’s employees
including Hu, the 21st Century Business Herald said today, without citing
anyone.
Rio had relocated mid-level and junior expatriate staff from its Shanghai
office to Hong Kong and Singapore before the arrest and detention of Hu, the
Australian Financial Review reported today. Rio’s Head declined to comment.
