玻利維亞

南美洲的內陸國家。過去20年來,天然氣一直是玻利維亞的主要出口產品,也是經濟支柱,其主要市場是阿根廷和巴西。但這幾年,各國對玻利維亞有另外一個目標:鋰礦。玻利維亞擁有世界已知鋰資源約四分之一,這個原料在電動車產業舉足輕重。目前已有來自中國、俄羅斯、阿根廷和美國的6家競爭對手爭取開採投標,但玻利維亞政府的開標時間一延再延,距離該國2025年自行生產鋰電池的目標,恐怕還有一段路要走。過去政治權力集中在前總統莫拉萊斯身上,莫拉萊斯於2020年下台後,國家權力分散在三個爭吵不休的派系之間。

Bolivia is a landlocked country in western-central South America, with nearly 50% of the Amerindian population. It is rich in high-value natural resources, including oil, gas, and various kinds of minerals. It has the world's largest lithium deposits and the production potential is enormous. President Morales, who had been in office for more than 14 years, went into exile due to a power struggle in the country. Bolivia is described as a “beggar sitting on a chair of gold” due to its political instability and sluggish economy. Morales returned from exile at the end of 2020 and the power struggle in Bolivia continues.
