Except the individuals on their side are absolutely in a position to make demands, you forget these people are happy to skim from the top and let the country pay for the consequences.
Of course Nigel likely would have proposed providing the ML in conjunction with a sale, but that might have been completely stonewalled until now, where they have for the first time been open to the proposition. Entirely because of CATH involvement and having to face the music in June.
All I know is I wouldn't get your hopes up for any arrests or accountability when we get out of this.

S01e02 we open on a spike in the hand of a chef, he stabs the head of the lobster, in a series quick cuts we reveal a full restaurant, the lobster is being taken to a table, the camera follows the lobster, cut to an obese African seated with 6 escorts, his buttery fingers grab desperately at the lobster as he speaks with his mouth spluttering lobster meat and spit. A thick French accent “you can have whatever you want, they are the lower cast, we enslaved them and sold them, sold the best of them, my grandfather, he sold so many of them he lost count,
You can take all the minerals you want, they are so stupid they don’t know what is under their feet” a sweaty eager Chinese man in a terrible suit responds “but Mr Takeshi what do YOU WANT”. “Ha ha ha ha…Yun I want all that you have and not a penny more”

China keeps unprecedented hold on metals with mining push abroad
China last year committed more resources than ever to mining abroad as part of Xi Jinping’s global infrastructure program, a new study found, underscoring its growing grip on the metals supply chain just as fears of over-reliance on Beijing grow around the world.
China’s involvement in the metals and mining sector — in the form of equity investments and construction contracts — reached over $21 billion under Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative, according to a report from Griffith University in Australia and the Green Finance & Development Center, founded at Shanghai-based Fudan University.
The tally marks the highest since the Chinese president’s signature effort started in 2013.
China’s engagement has been very strategic and growing over the past years, thanks to advantages including its know-how and ability to fund large-scale projects, said Christoph Nedopil, a professor at Griffith University and one of the report’s authors.
“It is likely that Chinese policymakers are also welcoming strategic control by Chinese – often private – companies in critical minerals,” he said.
The country’s global footprint is a reflection of its dominance over production and refining of many minerals that gives it huge influence over commodity markets.
Beijing earlier this month flexed its muscles by imposing export restrictions on tungsten and other critical metals used in electronic, aviation and defense industries, in response to the initial tariffs from the Trump administration.
The European Union, Japan and the US have been highlighting concerns over China’s hold on the metals value chain.
Tokyo is considering anti-dumping duties on graphite electrodes produced in China, due to damage caused to the domestic industry, according to a joint statement Friday from the trade and finance ministries.
The world’s No. 2 economy accounts for more than half of the global production of battery metals including lithium, cobalt, and manganese. In 2023, it also made up 69% of global rare earth output, according to the US government.
Lithium, used in electric-vehicle batteries, is a case in point.
While the US is building out supply networks with free-trade partners such as Canada and Australia, China is consolidating its relationships with African nations that are expected to be among the world’s biggest producers of the metal by the end of the decade.
China has also sought to forestall the west’s efforts to develop new mining and processing capacity by restricting exports of key technology and equipment.
