You bring up a good point that I've been forgetting, and it hasn't been mentioned. I'm going to assume that the Chinese companies named in the article have approached Monsanto for a business deal, and have been turned down.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoIt is very much unclear to me that you have any valid basis for assuming that.
- stephengillie 11y agoDo you believe the companies have never negotiated? It's a rather hostile way of interacting, but not unheard of. It's "conducting business" in the same way as way a parasite is a type of symbiote.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoNo, I'm skeptical that China approached them. (They could have, and been rejected, but from the article, it didn't seem like China was operating that way.)
- tsotha 11y agoThe fact that you can't come to an agreement with a supplier (of anything) doesn't mean you can just rip them off. It means you pony up more cash or do without whatever it is they were selling. China is flush with dollars these day.
