That's the beauty of these moves by China, no amount of money can solve the problems they create quickly. It took China, with its full resources of state planning, decades to build their supply chains to this point. Neoliberal capital simply can't compete with that. The US has never more been a paper tiger.

Check out the article in this post for the details.

Picture the Belgian Congo uranium mines, but in the american southwest and it's prison camps full of "enemies of the state".

I wonder if they'll move Coachella so that they don't have to see the prisoners forced to mine the lithium in the Salton Sea
