US authorities expressed dissatisfaction with the decision of the Bolivian government to attract a Chinese company to develop lithium deposits

The Bolivian government has chosen partners to develop lithium deposits, which include the Chinese battery giant CATL. Together with him, Bolivia will start developing its largely untapped lithium reserves. As part of the deal, the consortium partner will mine lithium directly from the Uyuni and Oruro salt marshes in Bolivia. The partnership will give the consortium (CBC) the rights to build two lithium smelters, each capable of producing up to 25 tons of lithium carbonate for batteries per year.

The Chinese company specializes in the production of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage systems, but does not currently produce lithium, although it has invested in many Chinese projects. A recent report from Bolivia's new Asian partner says that the company lost a bid to buy Millenial Lithium Corp. two years ago.

Speaking of the deal, Bolivian President Luis Arce said last Friday that the CBC consortium would invest more than $1 billion in the first phase of the project to improve the infrastructure, roads and conditions needed to run the lithium plants the country hopes it will someday produce. lithium-ion batteries.

Today begins the era of industrialization of Bolivian lithium. There is no time to waste and postpone the development of this metal. At the moment we are negotiating a possible partnership with other foreign companies.

Bolivian President Luis Arce said.

Meanwhile, Bolivian energy minister Franklin Molina said the deal showed "sovereign alternatives to lithium privatization models." The state-owned firm YLB should oversee and play a central role in this project.

Bolivia's salt marshes are the source of the world's largest lithium resource of 21 million tons, according to the US Geological Survey. However, there is almost no industrial production in the country. The report added that a partnership with the CBC consortium could help finally unlock Bolivia's huge potential as a supplier of lithium for batteries needed to power the global transition to electric vehicles. At the same time, the US authorities expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the Bolivian government is attracting a Chinese company to the development of lithium deposits. In this regard, Washington is already looking for opportunities for the so-called containment of Chinese business in Latin America, including Bolivia. Typical American practice is to try to interfere with the economic activities of other states, including activities based on mutual benefit.

Well, everything. Wait now for democracy, revolution, war. Pindas will not miss this. They will certainly consider that the Bolivians are not free people.

Ever since the days of Ewe Moralis, the US has been dreaming of demolishing Bolivia in order to keep it in its neo-colonial empire and siphon off its natural resources for nothing.
Mouth front. But Pasaran.

Where can you read about it in the original? Can you give a link to where the author got all this from? Otherwise, you may get the impression that it's just "far-fetched".

[aakvit]

What difference does it make where the original is! Your loved ones will climb on anyone, simply because the CHINESE will work, and money will not flow into pinjopsia!

Andrew, hello! The states want to reach out to all places and interfere with everyone in their plans, that South Africa is in the exercises, that Bolivia .... of course, they would be very happy if the population of the countries were reduced significantly! (I'm talking about the Davos forum) Then they would have time everywhere, as they want

[Monster_Fat]

Indeed, "what's the difference", the main thing is to catch up with the degrees of "antagonism" and "patriotism" - "The Englishwoman is shitting"! "Let's rally! ". "So let's win!! ".

It remains to add the "Jewish trace" and the "Zionist conspiracy" to this rhetoric, and there will be a combo!

Well, why pull an owl on the globe? How many years have passed since the Bolivarians sent the US with their plans to develop their salt marshes. They even set up a national park and a conservation area there. And the United States was engaged in coups there (in Bolivia) ... So the Bolivians decided that since the United States made such a stand on their lithium, then let it be developed ... China. It seems that Russia was also offered before (in any case, such proposals were considered), but now we have other concerns.

American. Although it is "both from the casket, they are the same from the face."

Let's unite!

Let the Chinese rally there, they need to mine lithium. In Russia today there are enough other reasons for unity.

Well, why do you need such a "victory"?

"Zionist footprint" in the salt marshes of Bolivia in Chinese production ... sounds like Hollywood.

Of course, they will consider, because:

[ivan1979nkl]

the percentage of gays must be calculated in this Bolivia, urgently. Maybe they are not tolerant enough in the rear, so to speak, projection .. They will spoil all the lithium that the Americans need so much. The Bolivian Indians are unaware that lithium is an American value. Eh, I would change it for high-quality Amer blankets infected with smallpox, but the times are not the same ...

[Nexcom]

oh, and suddenly it turns out that they are oppressed there harshly and all that. and the Americans will immediately rush to Bolivia to protect the rights of gays and other crap.

Well, of course! Everything that other countries do for their development ---- they are very infuriated! And if Russia, China are involved in this --- then it just twists put them and sticks in the wheels are trying

Bolivia faces a color revolution

[Smoked]

There it is permanently happening, like tacks in the fleet. Either left turn or right turn.

Yeah, another colonel will put together his personal gang, promise everyone +1 snot for shoulder straps and arrange a coup ahead.

[APASUS]

Lithium is Bolivian, the country of Bolivia, and the United States is already hooked on it.

[Nexcom]

Of course. How did the Bolivians dare to mine American lithium, and even in non-democratic ways with the help of the Chinese ??? Americans have long declared that they have the right to solve their problems extraterritorially.

[Glagol1]

Everywhere they climb, stubborn. Well, nothing without them. The Bolivians, of course, showed a striped middle finger, smarties!
