If I were the Chinese and I wanted the price of Lithium to go down, then I would pay people in the media, in particular in Australia, large sums of money to publish that Chinese car sales are dropping thinking that this would effectively indicate reduced demand for the raw product and consequently have a lowering effect on the price

If I were an investment bank or broker I would do the same thing particularly if I was shorting the stock

Many would not take up the offer because they have ethics

Many however, would!

Misinformation and disinformation .... manipulation 101

If there is no proof that a published article is factual then to publish it is wrong.

Of course, if you have an expensive cocaine habit to support well then that's a whole different thing isn't it.
