As long as Indonesia is not stripping any Chinese company of ownership in existing mines, I don't really see the problem.

It's up to Chinese companies whether or not they want to invest in new projects of under 25% ownership.

Frankly, this is almost not worth talking about, because nickel's importance in batteries is going down by the day.

The way the Indonesians are changing policies for focusing on the US market is interesting. They need to be informed that this is not logical and prudent.

Electric cars should be much cheaper to manufacture in the long run. Less moving parts and less parts total.
Much of the cost is in electronics but the price for that goes down all the time.
As battery production ramped up the cost of materials also went down as new mines go online.

Prices going down in normal manufacturing oriented economy like China. At the other side, in greedy imperialistic service economies, manufacturing prices might goes down, but never final product, because their economy would shrink significantly then. Everything must be super expensive, overpriced so they can maintain its economy on fake basis...

Maintenance will also be a lot easier for the same reason.
