After the Japanese Tsunami is when the Chinese locked their supplies. I lost a big part of my business and cancelled the product when the price of tungsten shot up over 10 times over night. Of course. I would get it cheaper if I had my products made in a Chinese factory. Didn’t happen.
The Chinese don’t care what the WTO says. And they own 95% of the world’s supply. The greenies are the Chinese’s best friend.
They own 95 percent of the world’s mined supply, but only 33 percent of the planet’s resources. Go figure.
