   China is manipulating lithium and cobalt prices – Mr Tony Sage
   
   StockHead quoted mining entrepreneur Mr Tony Sage is backing Donald Trump when it comes to the US President’s plan to reduce China’s stranglehold on resources. Mr Sage who chairs ASX-listed companies including European Lithium, Fe Ltd, Cape Lambert and Cauldron Energy believes China is manipulating the price of lithium and cobalt as it did with iron ore before the steel-making commodity hit record highs. He said that “If I can take you back to 2007 to 2011, the iron ore price went from $US20 a tonne to about $US100 and the Chinese panicked,” Mr Sage told Stockhead on the sidelines of the International Mining and Resources Conference in Melbourne last week. They were the serious buyers. They played with the stock, they played with the spot prices and they held it down for at least one or two years because they were the biggest buyer. They’re doing exactly the same with cobalt and lithium.”
   
   Mr Sage said that the spot price is not reflective of what lithium and cobalt producers are actually selling their product for. He said that “If you look at the long-term prices, if I go now and sell my future production in cobalt I’ll get 30 per cent more than the spot price. It happened exactly this way between 2007 and 2011 with the iron ore price, and to a lesser extent the coal price, because the buyers of the material dictate the price.”

   DP World sues China’s Merchants Port
   
   Financial Gazette reported that United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) DP World Limited and its subsidiaries has taken legal action against China for building an international free zone on a terminal being disputed with Djibouti. The lawsuit was filed in the High Court of Hong Kong for unlawfully procuring and inducing the Republic of Djibouti to breach various agreements between the African country and DP World. In the lawsuit, DP World sought damages, interest, and a declaration that China Merchants unlawfully procured and/or induced Djibouti’s breaches of its agreements with DP World. When the contract between DP World Limited and the Republic of Djibouti was signed, both parties seemed happy and satisfied with the business deal and pledged to respect the terms of the agreement.
   
   Under these agreements, Djibouti granted DP World Limited exclusive rights over port and free zone facilities within Djibouti, including container handling facilities, and DP World constructed, developed, and managed a state-of-the-art container terminal at Doraleh (“Terminal”) that is jointly owned by DP World (33,34 perent) and a Djibouti state-owned entity, PDSA (66,66 percent).
   
   In 2013, China Merchants bought 23,5 percent of PDSA from Djibouti. China, which has the only foreign military base near the Red Sea terminal, developed and financed the free trade zone as it considers Djibouti an important part of its $1 trillion “Belt and Road” global investment initiative.
   
   DP World said its concession agreement over the terminal “remains in force” and warned that the “illegal seizure of the facility does not give the right to any third party to violate the terms of the concession agreement.” DP World Limited, operates 78 ports in more than 40 nations.
   
   UAE ports operator DP World Limited has vowed to continue defending its rights as a shareholder in Djibouti’s Doraleh Container Terminal, after it was nationalised.
   
   In a statement the government of Dubai said: “DP World will continue to pursue all legal means to defend its rights as a shareholder and concessionaire in Doraleh Container Terminal in the face of Djibouti’s blatant disregard for the rule of law and respect for commercial contracts.”
   
   The president of Djibouti enacted a decree on September 9 purporting to transfer the private entity Port of Djibouti’s shareholding in the Doraleh terminal to the country’s government.

   Unilever zit achter Chinese Weimeizi aan - media
   
   (ABM FN-Dow Jones) Unilever, Church & Dwight en Colgate-Palmolive zouden volgens bronnen geïnteresseerd zijn in de Chinese fabrikant van consumentenproducten Weimeizi. Dit schreef de South China Morning Post vrijdag op basis van bronnen.

   China steel heads for second weekly fall amid ample supply
   
   Reuters reported that China’s steel futures edged higher on Friday, but were on course for their second weekly drop amid signs that steel output in the world’s top producer will remain high. Prices of steelmaking raw materials rose, with iron ore hitting a one-week peak and coking coal and coke also gaining. The most actively traded rebar on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was up 0.9 percent at 3,975 yuan (USD 572) a tonne, as of 0239 GMT, having touched a 3-1/2-month low of 3,878 yuan. However, the construction steel product has fallen nearly 2 percent for the week so far.
   
   Argonaut Securities analyst Helen Lau said in a note that “China’s steel production may not show any signs of weakening when the winter season starts from mid-November as China’s government will exercise flexibility in reining in production ... as the pollution control (efforts have) made some progress."
   
   Ditching blanket production curbs imposed last winter, China has given cities and provinces the flexibility to set their own restrictions based on their emission levels.
   
   Data from the China Iron and Steel Association showed that average daily crude steel production at its member mills stood at 1.97 million tonnes over Oct. 1-20, nearly matching September’s 1.98 million tonnes.
   
   However, the absence of across-the-board limits will make it difficult to determine the actual impact on production this winter, ANZ analysts said.
   
   Iron ore on the Dalian Commodity Exchange hit a one-week high of 525.50 yuan per tonne and was last up 1.6 percent at 523 yuan.
   
   China’s iron ore imports rose 11.2 percent from a year ago to 88.4 million tonnes in October, government data showed on Thursday.
   
   Coking coal increased 0.7 percent to 1,356.50 yuan a tonne and coke gained 0.9 percent to 2,379 yuan.

   Fortescue Metals to shore up trade relationships with China
   
   Sydney Morning Herald reported that WA iron ore giant Fortescue Metals Group will shore up trade relationships with China's biggest steel companies by signing eight memorandums of understanding with steel mills on the sidelines of the China International Import Expo. In a statement Fortescue announced it would sign MOUs with both public and private steel mills across the country, including China's largest steel group Baowu, which received the company's first cargo of ore 10 years ago. It will also sign an MOU with Hebei Iron and Steel Group, China’s second-largest steel company.
   
   While the MOUs don't have an immediate commercial impact, FMG chief executive Ms Elizabeth Gaines said it reaffirmed the company's commitment to its customers and demonstrated its presence in China. Ms Gaines reiterated the importance of Australia's trade relationship with China.
   
   Ms Gaines said that "As the One Belt, One Road initiative continues to grow, the openness and mutual understanding established by our bilateral trade relationships will be critical to its success. Australia’s significant strategic partnership with China is built on the importance of trade and is a fundamental pillar in our relationships across the Asian region."
   
   However, more than 3600 companies from 172 countries and regions are attending the expo, which opened in Shanghai on Tuesday and will run until November 10.

   China completes construction of mainland's deepest undersea subway tunnel
   
   Xinhua reported that China announced construction has finished on its deepest undersea subway tunnel on the mainland. The cross-sea subway tunnel, running 8.1 kilometers with 3.49 km of the line undersea, links the east and west parts of Qingdao, a coastal city in east China's Shandong Province, said the China Railway No.3 Engineering Group. It is the deepest undersea subway tunnel on the Chinese mainland, with its deepest section extending 88 meters under sea level, said the group, one of the constructors.
   
   Construction of the tunnel started in September 2015, according to local media. It is part of a 59.97-km subway line that links downtown Qingdao with its Huangdao district, significantly cutting travel time from one side to the other.

    East Africa eyes new USD 60 billion fund to rival Chinese push into Africa
    
    The East African reported that East Africa is looking to benefit from a USD 60 billion fund set up as part of the Trump administration’s plans to increase its influence in Africa. To rival the growing influence of China on the continent, the US has established a new agency, the International Development Finance Corporation (IDFC), which will spearhead the financing of infrastructure projects and open avenues for US companies to increase investments in Africa. American firms seeking to invest in Africa have often cited the challenge of securing financing and mitigating risk as key roadblocks in competing with the Chinese for projects in Africa. It is for that reason that the US has renewed its push to exert more influence in Africa with the passing of the Better Utilisation of Investments Leading to Development (Build) Act by the Senate, which President Donald Trump signed into law early last month.
    
    Among other things, the Act creates the IDFC, which will oversee the funding of infrastructure projects like roads, ports, energy, railways and dams in Africa.
    
    Meanwhile, the IDFC has a seed capital of USD 60 billion for investing in both equity and debt in infrastructure projects across emerging markets.

    'China zet deur economie wijder open'
    
    Gepubliceerd op 12 nov 2018 om 11:46 | Views: 2.748
    
    SINGAPORE (AFN/RTR) - China zal zijn economie verder openstellen als tegengeluid voor het toenemende protectionisme wereldwijd. Dit heeft de Chinese premier Li Keqiang andermaal beloofd. Dit keer in een interview met de Singaporese krant Straits Times, voorafgaand aan een economische top in het land. Hij verwees overigens niet rechtstreeks naar China's handelsoorlog met de Verenigde Staten.
    
    Op de ASEAN-top zullen de leiders van verschillende Aziatische landen deze week aanwezig zijn. Ook afgevaardigden van Rusland en de VS zijn er bij. De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump, die zich meermaals hard heeft uitgelaten over oneerlijke handelsdeals, is er zelf niet. Hij stuurt zijn vicepresident Mike Pence. De Russische president Vladimir Poetin is er naar verwachting wel, net als regeringsleiders van landen als India en Japan.
    
    Het is niet duidelijk of Pence en Li in de marge van de bijeenkomst afzonderlijk gesprekken met elkaar zullen voeren. Dit zou dan een opmaat kunnen zijn voor een ontmoeting tussen Trump en de Chinese president Xi Jinping later deze maand in Argentinië.

    BYD to supply 25 electric buses for Pune
    
    Times Of India reported that BYD, a China-based company that has an Indian presence, will supply and maintain 25 electric buses for the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited. As pre report as many as 125 electric buses are expected to join the PMPML fleet on January 26 next year. The company will supply and operate 25 nine-metre-long buses for the transport utility. The fleet will be a mix of 12m and 9m buses.
    
    PMPML director Siddharth Shirole told TOI that “Only one company, that is, BYD, showed an interest in the 9m electric buses, so we appointed them in this regard. The company is mainly based in China with offices in India too. It will be supplying 25 9m buses. As we have said earlier, the entire electric bus plan will be executed under the gross cost capital (GCC) model.”
    
    Under the GCC model, the company in question will be responsible for providing the buses as well as the infrastructure needed to run them, including charging points, maintenance, et al. In turn, the PMPML will pay the company on a per-km basis. Mr Shirole said that “We are not buying these buses. Instead, we will pay the contractor. We are trying our best to ensure that the buses hit the road by the next Republic Day. All the details are being worked out.”
    
    He added that the 12m buses too are in the pipeline. He said that “Apart from BYD, Tata Motors has also shown interest in operating these buses. There will be 100 12m electric buses as per the plan. We have asked both the companies to conduct a 15-day test on the city’s roads. These tests will begin soon. We will select the contractor based on the results of the tests adding that the work order for the 9m electric will be issued right after the board of directors meeting.”
