Of course when they were nett exporters of Vanadium they didn't mind the price being high.
Now they don't have enough Vanadium for their own steel needs, let alone for Hubei 500MWh (2,500 Tonnes V) or Dalian 800MWh (4,000 Tonnes V) VRFBs
Hardly surprising if they are doing what they can to make the V market volatile. This may subsequently come back to bite them if it means that new Vanadium development projects are delayed as a result. This may only apply to those projects outside China though - those inside will no doubt be less dependent on raising project finance from the capital markets.
Either way it doesn't really affect us as we are already producing and already expanding our own production volumes.
