WHEN Rio Tinto holds press events in China, its public relations firm sometimes hands out red envelopes of cash to Chinese journalists who are kind enough to turn up.
Well, doesn\'t every company in China do it?
No, the best multinational companies do not. And the best Chinese journalists don\'t accept those expense payments, either.
.......
Was there such hostility between Chinese and Rio Tinto iron ore that coloured this crackdown?
The answer to that question is obviously yes.
