What I find to be the most interesting aspect is that the price dropped to $150 million from almost double that in all previous estimates and also the minor fact that NONE of the studies commissioned by the gov't have been released to the public.
The family of the Chinese President Xi Jing alone has hundreds of millions of dollars secretly parked in the BVI (and these are only the numbers that became public last month). Maybe the Chinese government made the BVI government a good price, so they could get safely to their hoard?
Let's say the real cost is the double of what the Chinese will charge. Have a Chinese state-owned company write down 150M, so you have safe access to your own private hundreds of millions, what's not to like about that?
