China ranks second in lithium reserves in the world

It has been announced that China's lithium reserves have risen from sixth in the world to second.

The Chinese Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources says the country accounts for 16.5% of global lithium reserves, making it second only to Chile.

China's lithium reserves, which were 6% of the world, surpassed Australia, Argentina, and Bolivia last year when large-scale mines were newly discovered in Sichuan and Tibet.
