China Could Disrupt the World’s Economic Future
China’s dominance over the lithium industry is well-documented.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has spent more than $60 billion in less than 10 years to construct a world-class refinery network.

Once that lithium is mined and refined, it moves on to the next phase in the process. Guess who controls nearly 100% of this critical step?

That’s right, China wins again. The country’s manufacturing prowess allows for dirt-cheap construction of cathode and anode materials — equally as important as their lithium counterpart.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reports that China accounts for more than 80% of the planet’s battery cathode manufacturing, 30% of its nickel refining capacity, and 75% of its cobalt refining capacity.
