    ...will Australian lithium ended up like Australian nickel?

    ...if not, our lithium miners would need to be low cost producers to thrive. We have no local/domestic customers to sell to, and totally at the mercy of Chinese offtakes (because even the American companies would have their domestic supply).

    Majority Chinese-owned companies will produce a large but declining share of nickel suitable for #batteries made in Indonesia out to 2030. Western investment will drive the trend - still, 90% of Indonesian #nickel will come from producers under some Chinese ownership in 2030.
