Anybody but me noticing how China has been importing BIG quantities of critical wartime industry metals in the last 18 months or so?

From copper and aluminium to rare earths?

Yes, I’ve noticed.

So, do you remember the last time China went to war with a large nation on another continent?

Neither do I.

It's also a means of converting excess US$ into useful and durable commodities. And it tends to drive up material costs for competitors.
