"we will fill your orders when our systems will let us earn more money on your transaction. So please don't bother us and wait till we are ready." Does this make any sense to you? Makes me ask, are these real transactions from independent companies who have no relationship with Wang or PKK. Before calling me a bashed, please give me an example of this happening in North America.
We already went through this and if you have any corporate experience you would know this happens a lot. Maybe not for the profit reason but products and technologies miss deadlines all the time. You should ask your good pal Miran how many years delay his Bombardier is having in sending the city of Toronto their street cars. Is the city looking elsewhere? Nope! Bombardier still has that business.
Just like Bombarider has all the politcians in the back pocket Wang would have the same in China for his pet project PKK. Whatever you want to think about that from a morality perspective it still makes for a good investment. After all Miran thinks Bombardier is a good investment at $2.50 when in the real world not supported by government it would be worth $0.02.

Bombardier announced on Wednesday afternoon that earlier in the day it had delivered its 30th streetcar to the TTC, meeting a deadline that the Quebec-based rail manufacturer set out earlier this year.
But while the company announced the delivery in a press release under the headline “Bombardier meets its 2016 delivery commitment to the TTC,” it remains far behind the original schedule for the order for 204 cars.
A timetable set out in 2012 stipulated that the TTC would have shipped more than 100 by now.
