Proof that China always thinks ahead, the bid by Baosteel for Aquila Resources (ASX: AQA) is a classic straw hats in winter play. The parties are offering $3.40 cash per share in an off-market offer, representing a 38.8% premium to Aquila's Friday closing price. Aquila maintains high quality iron ore and coking coal assets in a low risk destination (Australia) that are of huge strategic interest to a group like Baosteel.
