Oink-oink, Codelco_unselfishly offers_to takeover SQM_lease in_2031 oink-oink

... and you know that clusterfocking leftist/commie inspired/backed Codelco will be promptly "leasing" that old SQM properly to the Chinese on January 2, 2031 because no Chilean beaner in his right mind would count on or trust US$36 billion-in-debt Codelco to "direct" mine that SQM jewel in the Atacama. And then cue a royal entry for Ganfeng (ie Xi Jinping himself) from China if Codelco attempts such an overt "business grab" of the Pinochet family primo #1 asset. Plus the emboldened Chinese will then finally begin telling the local nettlesome Atacama indians/protestors/extortionists/scammers/freeloaders to fock-off... with "proper" fock-off conviction then escaping any "sticky" repercussions claiming their intentions were not correctly translated from Chinese to Beaner... but we will all know (wink wink) the true translation.

Codelco also admits to the Mining Commission that they don't have (and will never have) the bucks (ie money) to buy out the 40 land owners in Maricunga without serious JV equity investment by a 3rd party to help them up off the their old rotting geriatric toilet.
PS, the chances of "fall guy" Mario Marcel (Finance Minister) approving this disguised sham of a deal/expropriation in Maricunga for the ultra-communist RP (Radical Party) in Chile will probably be zero if indeed Mario plans to run for president in 2030 as a centrist.
