      Edit: I googled him and he does look older in some photos, but whenever he is showing emotion (excited, happy etc) he knocks decades off his appearance

    They didn’t even block the sale though, they just halted it pending investigation for breaking anti monopoly laws

      That’s US reporting for you. Halting might as well be a block in their eyes.

    Beijing’s move to influence the affairs of CK Hutchison reinforced concerns among global observers about China’s diminishing distinction between private and public sectors

    almost like China is communist

    as well as its aggressive encroachment into Hong Kong’s affairs.

    almost like Hong Kong is in China
