Maybe he's not as concerned because he's an investor and can take his investments elsewhere if he doesn't like the geopolitical evnironment, whereas Teck would typically shell out $4b + to build a mine doesn't have that same advanatge to pull-out on a whims notice if the geo-political environment was becoming unfavorable. IMO... Teck is making investments for the next 20+ years where Rick's investment timeframe would be much shorter, therefore it would be less of a concern for him.
