I'm no expert on this, but I have read enough to know that China have been playing games in the critical minerals space. They've monopolised supply. They've restricted trade in some rare earth commodities. They've flooded the market with Nickel which has destroyed any competition. If these actions were purely the result of individual 'competing' companies, then I would accept that this was capitalism. But it's not. The communist Chinese government is coordinating a lot of this behaviour. It is anti-competitive behaviour! That is what I mean by economic vandalism.
