So why would a whale pay (LQMT) Peter to pay (Yihao) Paul indirectly a $1.10 for a part, when you can directly pay Yihao (Paul) 0.90 cents for the same part and save boo koo bucks on high volume part orders.
I guess what you are saying In essence is, unless
LQMT (Peter) re-establishes it’s own domestic manufacturing again, Yihao (Paul) will always be eating (Peter’s) LQMT’s/our lunch!
Now if what you say is true, and it does appear to be so. Wasn’t/isn’t that a clear conflict of interest by LL? Closing down the competition and forcing all part orders to go through China?
Doesn’t that explain the lack of new contracts, anemic trading volume, anemic interest, a declining share price and declining revenues?
I mean would it not have been more advantageous for LQMT to have expanded domestic manufacturing given the supply chain issues and limited trade restrictions?
Maybe I have this all wrong. But if I do, can anyone explain why your answer would be incorrect?
It appears to me from all aspects you are absolutely spot on!
