THINKING back to when I was working in China – negotiating oil and gas concessions with the Chinese government - I often used to think that there was some old walnut faced little man sitting in a small room somewhere plotting out the way in which things were to be done in China. And of course what they should do in order to gain the advantage in my oil and gas negotiations. They are certainly very inscrutable – never let the opposition know what you are thinking, keep a straight face all the time. I think the walnut faced guy is still there, plotting away.
