Jiang Weiping, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Tianqi Lithium Corporation(002466) board of directors: 65% of China's lithium raw materials are imported. It is suggested to speed up the green development of lithium resources in Sichuan

At the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, Jiang Weiping, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Tianqi Lithium Corporation(002466) board of directors, put forward two suggestions: "on accelerating the green development of lithium resources in Sichuan" and "strengthening international economic and trade exchanges and cooperation in the post epidemic period".

According to Jiang Weiping, with the promotion of "double carbon" work, China's lithium battery industry has developed rapidly, but at the same time, the world's lithium resources are seriously unevenly distributed, and Australia accounts for about 90% of the global lithium ore supply. Although China's lithium resource reserves are in the forefront of the world and rich in varieties, compared with China's lithium salt production capacity, China's lithium raw materials are in short supply and highly dependent on foreign countries. 65% of lithium raw materials need to be imported. It is particularly important to increase the development of China's lithium resources and transform the resource advantage into energy advantage.

accelerate the development of lithium resources in Sichuan

Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province is the largest microcrystalline spodumene deposit in China. The lithium resource reserve is large, the grade is high, and the comprehensive development and utilization potential is large. The proven lithium resource reserve has reached 1887700 tons. The proven lithium resource reserves of Lijiagou spodumene mine in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province are about 512100 tons, and the lithium resource reserves in sizemuzu area are nearly 520000 tons, which is rich in lithium resource reserves.

Jiang Weiping told Huaxia times: "it is suggested to speed up the development and utilization of lithium resources in Sichuan, learn from the successful development and operation experience of excellent mines at home and abroad, promote the green development of mines, promote the local economic development and personnel employment, and transform the advantage of lithium resources in Sichuan into the advantage of production capacity."

With regard to specific mining measures, Jiang Weiping put forward three suggestions in his proposal: first, establish and improve the guarantee system for the development and utilization of mineral resources and improve the guiding documents for the development and utilization of mineral rights in mining areas; Second, strengthen the infrastructure construction in the mining area, make overall layout, make scientific and orderly planning, introduce enterprises with higher mining capacity and processing capacity, and promote the development and utilization of mineral resources with high quality; Third, establish a benefit sharing mechanism, fully rely on the industrial advantages of other regions in Sichuan with higher industrialization and greater environmental capacity, realize benefit sharing and promote green development through resource exchange.

strengthening international economic and trade exchanges and cooperation

Since 2020, covid-19 pneumonia has ravaged the world, increasing uncertainties in international political, economic and diplomatic relations have seriously restricted economic and trade exchanges between many countries, and the global industrial chain and supply chain have been seriously impacted.

According to Jiang Weiping's analysis, the current difficulties and problems in international economic and trade exchanges are mainly concentrated in the following three aspects: first, they do not have enough understanding of China's epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and other countries and regions except China lack the ability of prevention and control and medical treatment, which is resistant to the resumption of bilateral and multilateral economic and trade exchanges; Second, there are problems in reshaping the pattern of global industrial chain supply chain; Third, international economic and trade exchanges are faced with an increase in uncertain, unstable and unbalanced factors, and the risks of intensified economic recovery and differentiation, rising commodity prices, energy shortage, tight transportation capacity and policy adjustment spillovers in developed economies are intertwined and superimposed.

\u3000\u3000 "In terms of international economic and trade exchanges, I suggest that the following three aspects should be considered: first, it is suggested to strengthen the exchanges and cooperation between governments at the level of epidemic prevention and control; second, in the post epidemic era, it is suggested to call on other countries to restore and provide more multinational government support for Chinese enterprises with international business and strive for support to countries related to Chinese enterprises The support of international trade and production and operation can return to the level before the epidemic, or even exceed that before the epidemic; Third, in view of the political, economic and legal risks that may arise in the early, medium and late stages of new investment in overseas strategic resources and M & A projects, it is suggested that the government, development and reform, commerce, foreign affairs, taxation and other departments and industry associations should strengthen their guidance and assistance to "going global" enterprises. " Jiang Weiping told reporters.
