RE:Andy Home - Reuters May 25 China has tried this before. It doesn't work. Eventually they must import, or reduce output. They hate cutting output. Same thing happened with potash when they decided to balk at higher potash prices from the "west". Eventually it backfired and potash prices exploded when they drew down all their inventory. They can't "cheat" the supply/demand curve on a global scale. It is what it is.
