the state-owned lithium company Yacimientos de Litio de Bolivia

🇧🇴🇨🇳🇷🇺 (https://rybar.ru/piwigo/_data/i/upload/2023/02/19/20230219202911-4b9ed6ed-xx.png) About a potential Russian-Bolivian lithium deal On February 14, information appeared that negotiations between the authorities of Russia and Bolivia on the development of lithium deposits in the South American country are at the final stage. ▪️In January, the Bolivian authorities have already signed a similar contract with the Chinese company CBC.

However, the state-owned lithium company Yacimientos de Litio de Bolivia left open the option of choosing more than one company to develop the deposits. ▪️The participants of the tender draw attention to the conclusion of the specified contract. It is known that four Chinese companies, one Russian and even one American, affiliated with Bill Gates' venture fund, participated in it. ▪️Earlier, the Rybar team (https://t.me/rybar/43739) spoke in detail (https://t.me/rybar/43739) about what the admission of Chinese companies to lithium deposits in Mexico could mean. In short: the American partners allowed the structures of the Celestial Empire into their backyard, primarily on the basis that lithium in itself is no longer a resource for which it is advisable to launch a strategic struggle. But it can be used as a benefit in exchange for any service from the Chinese authorities. 🔻Why can the US afford this? First, because the Chinese economy has long been firmly integrated into the economies of Western countries, especially in terms of the production and consumption of high-tech products. And the Chinese presence, about which it is customary to talk a lot and for a long time in the context of investments in Latin America, has always fit into the US economy - the authorities of the Celestial Empire bought the necessary raw materials in the region and then produced cheap consumer goods that guaranteed profits primarily for American corporations. ▪️Secondly, no matter what former US Secretary of State John Kerry said about the end of the Monroe Doctrine at the speech of the Organization of American States in 2013, nothing of the kind happened. By the way, it was quite funny to watch how a direct descendant of William the Conqueror tells tales about the rejection of imperial ambitions. For the American authorities, the Monroe Doctrine, which effectively declares the countries of Latin America a sphere of exclusively American influence, still has legal force. Even if we are talking about conditionally socialist Bolivia. 🔻What about Russia? If China was allowed to "pick up the crumbs from the table", then Russia was allowed to approach the conditional table after China. Of course, there will be a certain profit from this, but you will have to pay your price. And here a natural question arises - what kind of benefits will Western "partners" ask for real access to the Bolivian salt marshes (and what is there besides lithium). If in the case of the PRC, the subject of the deal could well be a demonstratively neutral position on the Ukrainian issue or, for example, another gesture of goodwill, then here they may be asked, for example, to postpone the attack on some Ukrainian cities for a certain period. Or surrender some of the already acquired territories. #Bolivia #China #Russia
