Ann: Premium Strategic Placement and Offtake MOU, page-79

i have been to mainland China over 50 times on business. they simply don't understand the idea of mutually beneficial relationships. currently, they are running a Nationalistic campaign to lure ev sales from Western brands to Chinese brands. A few weeks ago, 90 New Ev suv's were released in China.

western brands who think they will make it big in China really have no understanding of the CCP. first they need to do a technoligical transfer to a local company, so there goes the ip. second they start building massive factories to manufacture in China, using all Chinese refined RE, copper, nickel, cobalt and graphite. they are lured by a massive market that can disappear in a heart beat to Chinese nationalism.

try and get an expat and his family to relocate to China, not a chance in hades. China has been revolking exit visa's for both Chinese nationals and selected foreigners.

labour in the East of China is crazy expensive compared to its neighbours.

and don't forget tgat Xi is a emotional baby. he cracked the sads over a comment over the origins of Covid and banned coal, barley lobsters etc. nice tging was thermal coal went from 70 - circa 450 a tonne.

heaps better places to do business in Asia, with better incentives, without tech transfer (aka IP theft), and with large populations who are moving swiftly up the income ladder.
