supersceptic, thanks for the article.
After reading a nine years old book by the Dutch author Geert Mak, "Travels without John", my distaste for the USA and very much more so for Donald Trump in particular, has grown considerably.
Even though China may well become a future problem for Western society ("leaders" are aware now, finally), I can only hope that Xi Jinping slaps an export ban on stuff that the USA cannot source from anywhere but China.
The lying, bullying, war mongering, unreliable triumvirate (Trump, Bolton and Pompeo) should get a check on reality. "America first", fine, but let the rest of the world, led by China, riposte with a solid: "fine, but than also all alone.".
This may well start with witholding stuff that the USA needs. Good news today was that China bans all soya imports from the USA. Now just follow up with export bans on REE and also LCE and even batteries themselves.
Maybe even slap export tariffs on products from "Made in PRC" products from USA companies.
Trump believes that tariffs will bring China to its knees. Has he ever asked himself, which nation can stand more pain.
How much pain will Americans accept before there's a riot?
An export ban on LCE, of course, might be very good for us. NLC still hasn't decided for either China or USA (or Europe indeed) and politics aside, the USA is welcome to Q3 as long as they pay a very hefty price. My shares are available for them to buy at $15/s.
Dreaming always is a good pasttime.
Have fun.
