China froze all export of antimony. That America must have to make military stuff like that plane

Firstly, you do know you stop exporting it mean you mine a lot less, up to 70% of Chinese Antimony is for export as per EU figure. I mean, do you really think China will keep the mining number up while cramping down

Mines are owned by the government, China can cut down the production and close some for future generations, China never depends on them for money. So money thing is the last thing in China's mind. Resources are non renewable, they won't be wasted like unsold manufactured products.

You do know if "resource" is not renewable, then so does manufactured products, right? Because you need resources to manufacture stuff.....you cant put nothing in the production line and make something.......Tell me, when all the antimony is gone, how do you make Batteries?

China stops exporting antimony doesn't mean China stops mining it, China still produces it for the domestic use.

I am saying your logic is flaw, you said China wanted to preserve resource because they are non-renewable. And focus on Manufacture Goods.

My point is, if "resource" is non-renewable, so did products, because you need resource to make product, which mean either you stopped mining it altogether and start buying from overseas like the US, UK and the west did and hold on to your supply, you are using it themselves still dwindling the supply, you know that right? Again, so what will China use to make batteries when you run out of Antimony in China? Because as you said, resource are non-renewable.
