Australia makes huge move against China as it offers $10million for a key industry

Australia has made a huge move against China with a multi-million dollar investment in a key industry the communist government has dominated for decades.  The Tasmanian Government will put $10million towards helping to revive a King Island mine to produce tungsten, a mineral seen as critical to national security.   China currently controls about 83 per cent of the world s tungsten production - a near monopoly on global supply.  The Trump administration in 2018 declared tungsten one of 35 minerals essential to the United States economic and national security, though the country does not have a mine producing tungsten. Australia meanwhile currently only has a small working deposit, located in Tasmania, leaving the two countries vulnerable to controls on exports.
