that's quite right mate, and Germany want high grade silica Sands, halyosite, kaolin for their battery technologies etc as they deviate away from theirs and Europes dependency on China, like Australia is finding out, if you have a business and you only have one customer (China for example) if you only have one customer, that customer owns your business, it's not an extraordinary feat to deviate somewhat from a China dependant economy, 20 years ago 2000-2001 out total exports to China were $6 billion, what's the first thing you learn on your first day of an economics degree? "Dont put your eggs in one basket" perhaps universities would do better to practice what one preaches...
