    Does anyone have a non-paywalled source on the lawsuit and article that references it which is linked at the top of this article? This is an interesting development that also makes much more sense than what is typically accepted as an explanation as it alleges the price inflation resulted from capitalistic imperatives of profit maximization (prioritizing high-demand production) as an act of purposeful collusion, apparently with successful fines enforced by both the US and China in the past. Would be interesting to see the specifics of that, as I wonder how much the rapidly shifted legal landscape in the US has enabled this.
