#1 I'll just bet they are. If there's no immediate positive reply, then the veiled threats begin... Since the ChiComs are about as subtle as a freight train, well, "veiled" will be seen differently than intended. This may be timed to coincide with the "veiled" threats they're currently giving to Howard about the Spy Guy they gave shelter to.

"Of course, you running dog capitalists, there is something you can offer us to make amends for ~~not allowing us to kill the traitorous spy~~ interfering in our private affairs... we hear you have untapped uranium resources..."

#2 Maybe threatening to nuke the US isn't exactly the best way to enter negotiations?

"China wants to buy the Northern Territory's uranium, but only if the Territory is willing to sell it."

Hidden message?

#3 There is plenty of Uranium around and it can be obtained from places where its a far less emotional (read Greenie irrational) issue than Australia. This has nothing to do with Uranium and everything to do with coal, iron ore and potentially natural gas. Already Australia can bring China's economy to a grinding halt by shutting off shipments and this will only get worse (for China). Welcome to globalization.

#4 Oh, I can just imagine the Australian response to that.

"Fuck off, you wanker!"
