Is sodium ion battery going to avoid using lithium as ingredients? China's adversaries are increasingly trying to hoard lithium and deprive China of lithium supply from south America.
it's going to avoid lithium, because it's sodium ion battery!

Where did you read China is going to be deprived of lithium supply? Do you know that China imports a lot of lithium from Australia and refine them?

CATL signed the agreement with Bolivia for developing its lithium reserves. They will use China's DLE technology, and raise the production from 543 tons last year to more than 40,000 tons in 2025.
I discussed this before. CATL is not exactly a leader in developing lithium mines. Bolivia itself is also a basket case with not many success stories. Some caution here is needed. If it works out, then great, but there is a reason why most of the mining comes from Chile.

Are they exporting lithium to China for processing, or just CATL making the batteries in Bolivia for export?

This is just the beginning and China should be prepared for these dirty tricks.
