RE:world domination lol It's good we are on same page! If the USA decides to go the route of a 2 trillion green plan ( and many investors in green technology have already been ramping up big time in anticipation of that) its very likly to be "much better" for us and will may move industrials to advance thinking on vertical integration and gobble us up as a secure reliable source of electrification metals....and we come with golden gravy. In fact I don't doubt that this is already in some advanced stage thinking.
I don't think, the world vs China trade issues will change much regardless of what they do south of 49 after nov 03 but approach will depending on the outcome. What I think is important is that the USA and EU world allies will have to be on the same page in tackling the giant to better gain control of the future of electrification.
the mass of the technological and electrification, which goes way beyond EVs, spending will be in the western civilizated world, China knows this and has been and is working hard to control that, they have done well but are now faced with an world awakened to this.
Geo politics along with so many other factors are controlling CMs and us at FT, the eventual outcome does not change......we need control of our own destiny, it's a sham that we even allowed this to happen. Canada needs to be more proactive, escalate and start the ball rolling for Canadian intrests in electrification.
