Foreign media: The Australian think tank Climate Energy Finance (CEF) released a report stating that since 2023, China has invested over $120 billion in overseas mining and mineral processing projects, covering key minerals such as lithium and rare earths, helping developing countries develop clean energy and promoting the global transition to a zero-emission economy.
The report stated that China is building a "resource and energy diplomacy mutual benefit model," replacing previous traditional power plant investments with a green industry strategy.
Data shows that China controls about 90% of the global rare earth refining capacity, 90% of battery component production, and 60% of lithium processing capacity. Its clean energy industry generated an estimated economic output of 1.54 trillion yuan in 2023.
