Well one can either be preparing for an economic downturn or prepareing for war.In either case the U.S.Government had better keep an eye on things just in case it turns out to be the latter.
If they are preparing for war I would think they’d stockpile the material in their homeland and not send it to obscure ports in a foreign nation. It’s clearly being stockpiled by someone and not put into production.
If they were preparing for war, they’d be stockpiling aluminum.

I’d bet the farm the Chi-coms feel they are in the drivers seat in its relationship with the U.S.
Specially with the jug eared marxist in the oval office.
Me thinks they are preparing to take back Formosa. And they do not think we will do anything about it.
I read your about page.
Ever deal with a dog you just didn’t like?
The old addage is true.
The more I know people, the more I like my dogs.
1 1/2 year old blond lab and 6 month old australian cattle dog. Neither behave any better than I.
And I can’t keep them out of my pool.
Also thanks for your service in our countries military.
People can say all they want about China’s strength, but they have to be hurting badly from the downturn in consumer demand. Most container ships floating empty in Asian waters were moving goods from China to the West. Empty container ships mean closed factories, reduced need for raw materials and unemployment.
China has been very politically aggressive in the past year. That may be the mark of a country trying to mask growing economic problems and make external forces the focus of domestic discontent.
Aluminum is very prevalent in war machines.
