I think China is trying to break the western miners to the point where they can swoop in and buy them out. Just my thoughts.

They can't even if they wanted to...their focus is more on Africa. In the end supply and demand dictates, you can't make batteries without the raw material..The Chinese are more interested in dominating the EV car market and are doing that by making quality and affordable vehicle's but clrapping on the markets you want to dominate by trying to wreck their supply chains doesn't make a lot of sense .
It could be just as simple as there being an oversupply of batteries according to some sources battery plants are running below capacity, they don't run lower than capacity if there is a shortage of batteries, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy.

As it stands there are tariffs on Chinese made cars sold in America and Europe are considering the same.
