China flexes lithium dominance with plans for tech-export curbs

Quick Summary:

The government has proposed adding various technologies- some used for lithium refining and battery chemicals production — to its list of items that are subject to export controls, according to a notice seeking public opinion from the Ministry of Commerce on Thursday.

Last month, China announced a ban on exports of several materials with high-tech and military applications, a tit-for-tat move after the US government escalated technology curbs on Beijing.

The new export controls would cover technology for making certain types of lithium-iron-phosphate cathode, as well as lithium-iron-manganese-phosphate cathode and iron phosphates.
