Dear_Ms Tianqi, both_Martins tried_to tell_you that_you would_be mucho further ahead in the long run just investing $563M in us (as opposed to $4.1B in SQM) and then getting Xi Jinping to twist Pinera's balls just a little bit more (in May 2019) for him to approve our basic lithium production mining permit in Chile... but you wouldn't listen. Tsk tsk, now you're gonna' pay dearly for trying to brazenly hop right into bed with the Pinochet deep state fascists in one huge game-changing whack instead of 6 or 7 nice "easy-to-swallow" nearly-under-the-radar little/incremental whacks (as you could have done with us in sleepy Maricunga). https://www.miningweekly.com/article/tianqi-lithium-says-weighing-asset-sales-strategic-investors-to-slice-debt-2020-04-17 You're now going to take such a huge haircut this year that it will be 5 more years before any chink has the balls to invest in Chile again out of fear.
And all this is unfortunately happening as Chinese Ganfeng gets their balls next door in Argentina chopped right out of their scrotum (or is it scrotums?) Click here for Spanish Click here for English
You Chinese need to start eating a lot more fart-churning beans before you can overpower these entrenched stinky foul-smelling whitey fascist beaners in the lithium triangle.
