Like Walconst I feel that Chinese investors interest will be raised by the announcement.  They will know of China’s intent to be early adopters in establishing 5G networks and the will know that OIC is the way forward in an industry they want to become more IC self sufficient.  They will, I imagine, also want to see this deal signed before taking a punt.

However, here my ignorance prevails.  Would someone with deeper understanding of international markets kindly care to elaborate on the ability of the Chinese to participate in investing in overseas markets and PTK.

My experience in Hong Hong was prehandover when I can well remember that my Chinese staff took great interest in the Hang Seng, particularly watching the money markets, when we moved tranches of the British Goverments defence budget into the colony, as we would invariably spike the HK$ to £ market, just a little!
