Agree, joint development via multilateral negotiations is the way to go.

This should be for the entire S China Sea region and not just the Spratlys.

Am unsure whether China would agree to such for the entire region, as appears China is willing to do this only for the Spratlys which are in much closer proximity to the Philippines. China would then pursue bi-lateral negotiations for other islands. (Philippines appears to have less spurious facts and maps than China in regard to the Spratlys, but all such claims by all parties involved are spurious, IMO, for the reasons cited in prior post).

But per my understanding that your British VI company proposal is for the entire region, it certainly would have my support, but likely not China's support, would be my assumption. You have my vote.

Closing Long CAD short YEN position initiated in mid-July
Gain unleveraged 3.1% or 31% leveraged 10 to 1

Reason even with the tensions related to the islands with China, the Yen did not budge much, only the CAD appreciated. As the world seems to enter a global recession commodity prices may fall and with them the CAD. Therefore I took profits.

I was hoping for a break-down of the Yen based on their debt to GDP but unfortunate the YEN so short due to carry trades that it is kept artificially high.

So much for free markets efficencies - all is manipulated and few things work on fundamentals.
