    What we mostly send to China is commodities, if China sourced those commodities from somewhere else displacing customer X then customer X would then need to buy from us, there is no getting around it.  So another one of your own goals.  The world market for commodities isn't the same for mobile phones, China could ban iPhones and they wouldn't miss them one bit, but if they started getting all their iron ore from Brazil, then Brazil's customers wouldn't start using aluminium, they would come to us
