          Yep, they were moving into Africa years ago. I remember being there in 2012 and the locals were complaining that China was buying out all the mines and contract jobs.

        yes; but it’s decades away until the mines are productive, but the success of semiconductor companies are measured in quarters and the united states has no such reserves to draw upon ti fill in the gap between the two.
