I really like your CNOOC write ups. However, there is however country risk (besides company risk and the price of oil&gas). Do you have a second o&g company that you like in Asia?

There is a large variation of dividend withholding tax rates among Asian jurisdictions (from 0% - 30%) with usually international tax treaties in place to partly mitigate these tax costs. However, reclaiming taxes in the context of these treaties often involves a lot of cumbersome paper work. Do you attempt to reclaim (partly) the dividend withholding taxes you paid for your personal investments? Does the impact of these taxes influence your decision to make a specific investment in the first place?
