🎧 Does China control critical mineral supply chains?

Hello,

Welcome to the Beijing to Britain podcast.

In today’s episode, hosts Sam Hogg and Steve Lynch discuss:

• The differences between the British and Chinese approach to running Covid inquiries

• The AI Safety Summit and China being invited

• Which British companies are posting results this week

We also talked to Henry Sanderson, Executive Editor of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and author of Volt Rush, the excellent book on critical minerals and batteries. We asked:

• What are critical minerals, and do countries share the definition?

• Is China weaponising dependency?

• How much progress is the UK making in this space?
