30. He's invested a fortune in Star TV in Asia and in cable TV in |

Australia and the UK. None of these will return a ptofit of for years. The investment in Australia runs into $$billions and they're almost giving away the service. There just isn't the population and they're not signing up in the numbers he needs and others abandon it because it's an expensive round of repeats we've seen a dozen times.
I think he's banking on Star TV to be a huge payoff and that's why he's sucking up to the Chinese regime and why he's totally toned down his rhetoric gainst them. He's also dropped running BBC cable because of their anti-Chinese government stories.
I think the Chinese will run rings around him though.
