They did the same thing to their domestic industry in the last week of October 2021. It did not work too well or for very long. I don't doubt that similar games would be played behind the scenes. How many of our politicians would receive gifts and funding from external countries in foreign bank accounts? Noone knows. We are without a doubt heading into Chinas sphere of influence given our economic ties, just as Japan and South Korea are in Americas sphere of influence.

@babytalk No single event is responsible for price movements. Price levels are an amalgamation of all possible contributing factors. It is an imperfect game in an imperfect world.
