I was just interested. Maybe I am being a bit simplistic, but, if you are bringing in new sets of regulations—and you are presumably drafting those at the moment—how will they interact with the agreement that we have with the Chinese government around things such as the licensing requirements that we have now? Given that they are signing a deal with us on the basis of what is in the substantive trade text, how will new laws impact on that trade deal?
