  1. It's a mess, and with the premier fab of the world dangling like ripe fruit practically a stone's throw off the Chinese mainland...as Sherlock Holmes used to say, "these are deep waters, Watson"...deep waters indeed.

  2. Had no idea China had cornered the Ge and Ga market too!! Cool that the recycling is so good, but for Ge it sounds like it's mostly military, so not necessarily long term dependable. Gallium is totally cool....any metal that melts in your hand is cool (except NaK, the sodium potassium eutectic of course - that would happily burn in your flesh) I don't think such limits to technology ever work in the long run... IMHO only the Chinese people can change China's politics in the long run....
