It's the same cooperation plan again. Honestly, it's probably just to shut up the Americans.

Listen, isn't this just a smokescreen? Do you really think setting up an empty shell company can dispel political doubts?

Coming back with this again? Basically, it's just the US wanting a nominal control.

Another joint venture script, each party with 15%, so what about the remaining 55%? Do I have to do the math?

Ha, it's the same old trick again. Oracle and Silver Lake teaming up to play with data security? I don't buy it.
