As I remember it was going to be on tribal land in Ok, and probably  
would have had favorable labor relations.

It was just a dumb announcement way too early in negotiations. From my  
casual observations, the Chinese play their cards close to the chest  
and don't like things handled in the media. When that press conference  
came out, it probably killed the deal.

That's not saying that it would have happened otherwise.
