Hu man. I apologise. I'm cranky because I so sick of the poor poor NZ journalistic standards. Now I have approached Lian Dann and he tells me they have no corroboration for the story, no evidence from sales figures and it is just one mans opinion. He says no they didn't check whether he has any clients which may gain from such a story, investment banking clients that might be short, or competing Chinese companies in China (the guy being quoted runs a capital investment and capital advisory company in China). His response to why didn't he ask these questions of Mr Moran is that "he is a very well respected businessman". Well the guy is not going to spend hours discussing China with the NZ Herald for nothing if there isn't self interest operating- Good grief- either how naive - or he doesn't want to ask for fear of getting answers that might undo his key story. So I said to him, oh so the NZ Herald doesn't adhere to international business journalistic standards where stock holdings, short positions, or other interests impacting on the story are declared. He didn't respond.
