I had seen something this past week that China controls 65% of the worlds lithium production. I was doing some follow up research and it seems the bulk of the worlds lithium is actually mined in Australia. I know China deals in Australia a lot so are these Australian mines controlled by Chinese companies or was this 65% number a case of fake news?

Yep, they will control it, just like they do everything else.

Bolivia has the largest reserves but getting 3rd world shitholes to efficiently produce things is impossible.

China loans shitholes money can never repay and then they take their natural resources.

But what are the restrictions and time it takes to mine in Australia vs China? China doesn't care about environmental crap or how many people die in their operations. Plus like others have said, they loan money to poor countries to extract their natural resources. China has a plan and the US people better wake up before it's too late.

I thought I read they just made a huge lithium discovery in the middle of the Sinaloa Cartel controlled portion of Mexico.

Australia was fudged a bit with the PPE gear. Chinese owned companies there were buying it up and shipping it back to China.

No. While the tough guy act is funny, I'm just enjoying your defense of the CCP in your attempts to come across as edgy and more intelligent than you are.
