Two weeks ago, Bolivian President Luis Arce spoke with President Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum & the two leaders solidified their partnership.
Bolivia has the largest reserves of Lithium (the main resource for the production of electric batteries) in the world, in quantities calculated in 21 million tons, which is already 50% clear why there was an attempted coup. Argentina and Chile are in second and third place
Lithium is the main natural resource that is already replacing oil, through electric vehicles.
Lithium will be the lifeline for Argentina and the Argentine economy and could turn it into a modern day Saudi Arabia.
But this would only happen if the Argentine government sells it at “remunerative” prices or as a processed product and not as raw material.
The new president now a Jew, Millay unfortunately aims to sell it as a cheap commodity, just like the colonized African countries. But he may change his mind, who knows.
Bolivia, on the other hand, is a pro-BRICS country and will probably sell most of its Lithium to China, which is now the market leader in terms of electric vehicles sold.
What China does differently is that it has a habit of building processing plants in the places where it buys the raw materials, or at least the Bolivian government should arrange this with China.
China is now building factories for Electric Vehicles in Brazil and Mexico in order to take over the markets in South and North America, so it is clear from here why they need Bolivia, which will be the main supplier of batteries for the American continent.
Donald Trump also said a few months ago that Chinese car factories in Mexico would make the US auto industry a bloodbath.
From here it is clear why the CIA tried to make a coup through the general. Not that the US has a shortage of Lithium, but the Bolivian one in the hands of China will cause them great harm.
