Questions Asked on Hutchison-Whampoa Deal

Christchurch mayor, Garry Moore, was on Newstalk ZB today. When questioned by Mike Yardley, on the proposed sale of the Lyttelton Port Company, to a subsidiary of Hutchison-Whampoa, a company with ties to the Chinese Army, Moore was less than forthcoming. He referred questions on Hutchison-Whampoa's links to the PLA to the CEO of Christchurch City Holdings Ltd, Bob Lineham.

A letter, by Sue Hunt appeared in the Christchurch Press today questioning the sale and Hutchison-Whampoa's ties to the Chinese government.

This deal may not be as straightforward as Garry Moore thinks.
