Must be an election year to be beating this dead horse. The mental image of the Chinese trying to comply with American OSHA laws and the North Slope Safety culture is pretty funny though.

"AGDC said in a prepared statement that the different entities have agreed to cooperate on LNG marketing, financing and investment. But the agreement does not appear to represent a binding commitment by the Chinese entities to invest cash in the LNG project, or a firm promise to buy Alaska gas." That's not worrying at all.
