RE:China copper imports hit record...A little misleading header ... concentrates up, refined imports down, not record Chinese demand for copper products overall, which is the big price driver. I'm a believer in long term copper prospects for a supply shortage price rise, but not even close yet. There is still lots of bottom-tier shut-down SW-EX production that will come online as prices rise.
Nice try though, I was a little excited until I read the linked story!
