RE:Zinc priceIf you wish to learn how the Chinese mind works read "The Hundred Year Marathon" by Michael Pillsbury, 2015. It will scare the bejesus out of you. There are hawks and doves in their ranks. Since Tananmen Square the doves have taken a terrible beating. The hawks are now leading a charge to take control of the world. Read the book.
Deception is a valued technique in the Chinese way of going about business.
That business could be warfare, global dominance, and commercial undertakings and even sporting activities.
Read the book.
