In 2025, China officially became the world’s second-largest lithium-producing country, surpassing Chile and trailing only Australia. From Australia to Argentina, Mali, Ghana, and Mexico, Chinese lithium firms are locking in long-term supply through acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic investments. Companies like Ganfeng Lithium and Tianqi Lithium now hold stakes in some of the world’s most important lithium assets, including Greenbushes in Australia, the largest hard-rock lithium mine globally. At the same time, major mining giants are making billion-dollar moves to secure future battery supply chains. Rio Tinto’s
$6.7 billion acquisition of Arcadium Lithium, POSCO’s expansion into Australian lithium assets, and growing US government involvement in projects like Thacker Pass all show that lithium is no longer viewed as just another commodity.
