    I had a vague memory that antimony was an alloy. Oops - haha. It's on the periodic table!

    antimony <noun> (Symbol: Sb) The chemical element of atomic number 51, a brittle silvery-white metalloid.

    Antimony was known from ancient times; the naturally occurring black sulphide was used as the cosmetic kohl. The element is used in alloys, usually with lead, such as pewter, type metal, and Britannia metal

    Etymology: late Middle English (denoting stibnite, the most common ore of the metal): from medieval Latin antimonium, of unknown origin. The current sense dates from the early 19th century.

    If they go too far China should just sanction the US and make the world choose between Chinese goods or American whatever the fuck they offer (nothing). If all the other BRICS countries followed the Chinese sanction against the US they'd be toast.
