I dont see Ivanhoe, Glencore complaining about operating in the DRC to name a couple of companies, chinese have been operating in the DRC for over 30 years or more, no dramas, this sovereign risk perception is just pure ignorance and BS.
That said, i really dont want to see anymore chinese investment in AVZ ( off takes ), its not that i dont trust Ganfeng, / Shenzen / Yibin as individual entities, its the chinese goverrnment i dont trust as i am sure they see AVZ deposit as a way of controlling lithium like they do with rare earth, at the end of the day they are the puppet masters, when they instruct, Gangfeng / Shenzen / Yibin comply, just ask Jack Ma from Alibaba.........
AVZ needs European / Americas balance.
IMO
