Thanks for your comments.
If it were ...Anonymous:<br /><br />Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />If it were truly "well known that lithium is one of the most common elements on earth", then I don't think we would have seen so many stories in recent months with claims to the contrary.<br /><br />The facts, as you present them, may be well known to you, but they weren't to me, nor apparently were they to many others. Having found some evidence that the claims made in recent news stories were unfounded, my only intention here was to bring that to light.<br /><br />By "China haters", I refer to people who took this idea of China's supposed monopoly on lithium and tried to turn it into another fearmongering story of how the "commies" are trying to rule the world.<br /><br />As for me, I'm neither a lover nor a hater of China. It is what it is. I am just here trying to understand how it works.G. E.

It is for sure not included in the "rare earth" package.<br /><br />It is also well known that china does not have a "monopoly" on these rare elements, just that they were far smarter and forward looking than everyone else, and developed the infustructe to mine them. Indeed these elements (the rare ones, not lithium) can be found elesewhere, however it would takes years and massive investment to develop the infustructure necessary. These years are enough to give China the advantage.<br /><br />It is not clear why you name "china haters", it is simply an opinion trying to read the markets. And as a "China Lover" I'm interested in China and how things are going on over there. As simple as that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
