🎯 In a fast-moving tech world powered by critical minerals—think lithium in EV batteries, rare earth elements in smartphones—stability in supply chains is a must.
At a routine press briefing on Tuesday, spokesperson Guo Jiakun from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese mainland urged countries sitting on these mineral resources to play a constructive role in keeping global industrial and supply chains secure and stable 🤝🔒.
When asked about the recent critical-minerals deal signed by US President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Guo highlighted that the shape of today’s global production network is driven by market choices and enterprise strategies 📈🏭.
He stressed that such collaboration should ensure the smooth progress of normal economic and trade cooperation—basically, making sure our gadgets, green energy projects, and industries never run out of the raw materials they need ⚡🌱.
For young pros and tech geeks from South and Southeast Asia, this message matters: diversified, transparent supply chains mean more innovation, fairer trade, and stronger security for all regions 🌏💡.
