Indeed... Asia entirely could become reliant on our lithium except for China who is busy digging up Africa entirely for everything and controlling local governments there... China Northern Rare Earth Group is fleecing Mongolia entirely for REEs... Shandong Gold is all over Africa and South America...

China is definitely ahead than us in lithium mining... The problem is we dont know it, yet...
