If an American investor failed to buy nickel deposits from Indonesia, and what's more, the country joined BRICS and now Chinese investments are being discussed there, then this is what happens according to the Economist:

— It's not nickel you have there, it's crap. Nickel is not for that particular system.

— And no one really needed it anyway.

— Whoever refused to sell a mine with a city nearby to another American investment fund is simply a nationalist. In fact, a Russian skinhead. In fact (looking at the nationality of the US fund managers) an anti-Semite.

— And in general, nothing will work out with electric cars. Yes, just a year ago they wrote that there would be a revolution of Indonesian electric cars, and it's clear that they would displace the undemocratic Chinese ones, bye-bye Beijing, and here's your economic collapse, the divine Indonesian electric cars are about to displace the totalitarian dirty bids. But damn, then the Indonesians were not really different. The forecast has been suddenly revised, you'll lose yourself with electric cars.

I'm sure that the editorial office of The Economist is increasingly resembling a mental prison cell.
