Ever since the launch of the probe into the Bank of China (Hong Kong)'s Liu Jinbao, reporters have got used to close relations with the bank.
You'll remember that it was BOCHK that extended the $2.1 billion credit facility to Shanghai tycoon Chau Ching-ngai. Shortly before the spotlight fell on Chau, the bank's chief executive was recalled to Beijing.
In the following weeks, international attention fell upon the case and BOCHK revealed itself to be unusually media-friendly. Reporters found themselves receiving daily missives. Admittedly they were often late at night with statements reaching media inboxes at 11pm, but it became a kind of regular update.
Seems things have eased off somewhat. The bank is in a playful mood.
Yesterday's note came through earlier than usual - at 5pm.
'We have nothing to release today. Just relax!'
Jaunty lot these bankers. Or maybe there's a warning here in their advice to relax.
