Global supply chains are like lifelines for our gadgets, cars, and clean-energy tech. 🌐🔋 At a Tuesday press briefing, spokesperson Guo Jiakun of the Chinese mainlands foreign ministry called on countries rich in critical minerals — such as lithium, cobalt and nickel — to play a constructive role in keeping industrial and supply chains secure and stable.
Guo was responding to questions about a new critical minerals agreement signed on Monday by US President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He emphasized that the formation of global industrial and supply chains stems from market and enterprise choices — and that smooth, normal economic and trade cooperation benefits everyone.
For young professionals, investors and curious minds alike, the message is clear: reliable access to these key resources underpins the tech and green-energy boom. When countries safeguard supply chains, they help power economic growth, innovation and our connected world. ⚡🌱
