July 31: The Deadline Indonesia Doesn't Want You Watching...

Eight days. That's how long Jakarta has before a quiet regulatory deadline decides whether Indonesia caves to China for the second time this year. In this breakdown, I walk through what's actually at stake on July 31st — the nickel quota revision deadline that never got resolved back in May, why Indonesia's own smelters have only burned through 46% of their allotted quota this year, and what the Shanghai meetings between China's top ministers and Jakarta's economic team really signaled. My take — and it's just that, my take — is that this deadline matters more than any headline you'll see about it, because these fights don't get decided in the loud moments, they get decided in the quiet ones. This is part three in the ongoing Indonesia-China nickel story. If you haven't seen the first two videos, go watch those first — this one picks up right where they left off.
