like I said, DSU responded to my post but I can not find that post. I don't think it was deleted but he did say adamantly that the samples were not taken to China to "verify". Although I may disagree with that, I do not wish to get into a debate on something that I do not know the answer. My only conclusion is IF the Chinese were to back out, then I believe the "market" would perceive this as they having not seen what they wanted to see. But I do not believe that would be the end of SRSR. But to add suppositions on such an event at this point can be viewed as adding to the "fear and uncertainty" ....which is something I do not wish to do....
