Norwegians wouldn't allow any type of resource production if we didn't have the tough conditions we have. Actually, we have gone around the world teaching other nations to do the same. If you go to China, you will need to have the same type of policy as an Exxon or a Shell have. The same type of policies that Norway created in the seventies are run by the Chinese if you come in as a foreign company. That's because Statoil went to Beijing in 1976 and told them how to do it. The Russians are doing the same. Of course, they're doing it the Putin way right now.
