W producing countries
Look at the relative number of tons from China vs others. #2 and #3 are also hostile towards West..

West needs to kiss and make up with CPP or get their own W supply lined up.

The Nui Phao JV was majority owned by H.C. Starck, a German company. How is that "hostile to the west"?

Good point, but when push comes to shove, national intrerests trump company ownership. Ownership means different things in different countries. If a liberal democracy like Canada can force the sale of Chinese lithium or gold interests in Canada, in the name of national interests, you can bet it is possible for that sort of thing to happen in Vietnam.
