Mike,
Thanks very much for your article in the recent Bull.Amer.Ceram.Soc., giving an excellent update on the raw materials situation in China. Your information, insight, and experience are critically important for the refractories industry. We all look forward to your continuing updates on the raw materials situation in China, and any changes/trends that you observe in the coming years, as the companies involved make decisions to optimize their situation.
Best Regards.
