wegman Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:1,504 Points:848,475 Joined:Jun 2001	Message Posted: Nov 5, 2009 4:42:24 AM Ignore wegman Report Abuse The Red Chinese mandarins in Peking are working to get some of their own oil. And they probably want to steal Exxon's technology as well. Papua New Guinea, like much of the Third World, has a government most of the West holds its nose when dealing with. The Commies have no such scruples (considering what they do to their own people their only complaint is the inefficiency of the repression). But, we have a deep water navy and the Red Chinese do not so if push came to shove, it isn't a secure supply for the totalitarian Chinese.
