Yes, I agree. Unfortunately, I fear that, in some industries, it might be a bit too late. Certainly, when it comes to rare earth materials, for example, China's processing capacity so dominates the global ability to process these kinds of materials that it's pretty difficult to know how else and where else we can get it done. Similarly, in renewable energy, or even in the production and processing of lithium and lithium batteries.... So many different areas related to renewable energy alone have become totally dominated by China as part of this explicit strategy.
Yes, auditing and reducing dependency as a matter of urgency is something we all ought to be doing.
