China’s growing electricity crisis
Scores of Chinese homes are in the dark and in just a fortnight coal reserves could run out. It’s proving to be a very dangerous problem for leader Xi Jinping.
Traffic lights were abruptly turned off in the northeastern city of Shenyang last week. Local authorities deemed it necessary “to avoid the collapse of the entire grid”.
Since then, the problem has spread, with power cuts and consumption limits imposed in several key industrial zones. Aluminium, steel, cement, wood mill, and fertiliser production have all been affected in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Yunnan, and Guangdong regions.
Those Provinces ring a bell ~ Zhejiang, Isn't that where Shenghe have their operations ? and aren't all the others where most of the HRE's mines are located.
China's whole economy is teetering on the brink of collapse and yet Xi is focusing on Taiwan instead of ensuring that his people can live thru this coming winter ! Mao all over again !!

The greatest risk when Investing in a mining project is to Ignore the Fundamentals !
