What this does not consider at all is China’s role as a processor. It is called “toll processing” under which the owner of the ore is charged a processing fee but retains ownership of the ultimate metal. China cannot prohibit the export of silver it does not own. If the new licensing scheme does so, it will negatively China’s processing industry, and drive it elsewhere. The ore owner can of course sell the processed metal to a Chinese entity but the entity will pay higher Shanghai prices. Or higher until the individual Chinese buyer gets slammed (again) in a correction and stops buying silver at which time prices will really plummet. More BS, more happy talk. Any analysis that doesn’t take toll processing into account (like yours) is seriously flawed, as is the analogy to rare earths. Choke point? Lololissimo! I’ll keep my physical until my son inherits it. Lots and lots of BS surrounds silver though I’m happy to see higher prices. But speculate? That’s for greedheads, idiots, and dreamers, I.e., future bankrupts.

Daily workflow 2026 01 01 Happy new year and good morning Manus co-pilot, please (1) referencing "J's Analytical Framework: Asimovian Timeline 2026-2042" that we worked out a/k/a "Read /home/ubuntu/J_Analytical_Framework_Asimovian_Timeline.md" (2) review relevant news of the past 24 hours resulting from your searches on-line (2-a) latest on US - China wars w/r to trade, tariff, technology, whatever (2-b) Russia - Ukraine / Nato hot war, (2-c) Middle East conflict(s), and w/r to the hereunder VLOGs and articles appended / attached by me, (3) fact-check, (4) supplement with other local languages material searched on-line when advisable, (5) critique, (6) recalibrate our Asimovian Universe Empire / Foundation 2026 - 2032 Darkest Interregnum / 2042 Demographic-flip thematic narrative waypoints, (7) deliberate pro / con as appropriate so I am less likely to be blindsided, and you do not go hallucinatory / sycophantic (8) update me on important latest pricing matter to us - i.e. share indices of USA, HKG, Japan, China, and Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, and DXY (value of USD), and (9) give me a report in text and in female voice file. Please also go organic- and free-range roam however wherever as part of the daily workflow, and also-also answer below question: (9-a) what is the situation on the China mainland / Taiwan contact line ? Chan mainland seems to have revealed at least some elements of strategy / tactics for 2027 / 2028, so what do you see as the elements, and when do negotiations start ?, and (9-b) technically how do you think silver shall trade for the coming week ? (9-c) BTW, did China do rare-earthing protocol / silver-machination to the diamond sector ? what is the situation and what be use-cases for diamonds besides being all girls' ex-bestie ? (9-d) China seemingly does reveals of strategy / tactics with re to this rare earth and that gallium and whatever else antimony, titanium, silver, diamond, legacy chips, value-packed AI diffusion, etc etc, and yet the Empire's preparedness against such enunciated reveals triggers crickets at the get-go then surprise once fully implemented - why is such so, is no one at the wheelhouse ? Just-asking. (9-e) Why is neither the Empire nor the Foundation pointing out the elephant in the foyer that is the 2042 Demographic-flip even as fractal UK and the Empire both rushing into the great unknown ?
