German Media Fears Putin Preparing New ‘Raw Materials Trap’ for West_我的网站

一 |     Vladimir Putin has prepared a cunning new “raw materials trap” relying on Bolivia’s fledgling lithium mining industry, with the trap expected to “snap shut” and leave the West again dependent on Russia for its raw material needs, Welt contributor Tobias Kaufer fears.,Pointing to the Latin American nation’s massive, untapped deposits of lithium, Kaufer expressed concerns over Russia’s interest in helping Sucre tap these resources, which are crucial for the production of batteries for electric vehicles.,According to the US Geological Survey, Bolivia’s proven lithium reserves are the largest in the world, with the country’s 21 million tons ahead of Argentina and Chile (which have 19 and 9.8 million tons-worth of reserves, respectively, and together account for more than 30 percent of global lithium output).,“Those with access to the deposits can have a say in the commodity’s prices and availability. Russia apparently has particularly good chances in Bolivia at the moment,” Kaufer wrote. For Europe, he warned, Moscow’s success in the lithium ‘poker game’ would make the commodity another area where the EU depends on Russia, just like with oil and gas.,Russia’s success will be contingent on “the outcome of the Bolivian political crime thriller,” the contributor stressed, pointing to the raging struggle between President Luis Arce, a member of former president Evo Morales’ Movement for Socialism party, and right-wing forces backed by the US attempting to overthrow leftist forces.,Ex-Bolivian President Jeanine Anez Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison Over 2019 Coup11 June, 01:54 GMT,“This is where Russia comes in. Morales is considered a clear supporter of Vladimir Putin,” Kaufer wrote, recalling the former president’s calls for an “international mobilization to stop the interventionist expansionism of NATO and the United States” in March following the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine, and years of efforts by Sucre to shore up ties with Moscow during his presidency.,“If Moscow now succeeds in supporting the socialist’s return to power, the path to the lithium deposits would be clear. At the very least, Morales could urge President Arce to sign a deal with the Russians,” the Welt contributor believes.,Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear giant, has expressed interest in helping Bolivia tap its lithium riches, and is one of six companies which have applied for their development. Others include Lilac Solutions (a US-based start-up with investments from BMW and Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures), Chinese battery giant CATL, and three other Chinese companies.,Along with its interest in Bolivia’s lithium, Rosatom has teamed up with Norilsk Nickel to mine for lithium ores in Russia’s Murmansk region. Last year, the company also announced plans to build a major lithium ion cell manufacturing facility in Kaliningrad, with the ambitious project hoping to begin churning out up to 4 GWh worth of batteries, or about 0.5 percent of total global demand, by 2024.,Morales' Legacy: Bolivian Joint Nuclear Project With Russia's Rosatom Unique for Latin America10 June 2021, 16:53 GMT。

180 iron nails and other foreign objects, including coins, screws, nuts and magnets have recently been removed by doctors at a hospital in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province from a local man’s stomach after he sought treatment for repeated vomiting and abdominal pain, Yunnan Daily reported on Sunday. 
The man’s family took him to The Third People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province for examination. Imaging scans revealed a large mass of metal objects in the man’s abdomen, which had clumped together, distended his stomach and caused it to drop downward, according to the report. 
The nearly three-hour surgery on Friday removed foreign objects weighing more than 1 kilogram, including a nail nearly 10 centimeters long.
According to Li Wei, chief physician from the hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery department at the hospital, the patient’s stomach was covered with ulcers and erosions, but fortunately the nails did not perforate the stomach or enter the intestines. The magnets may have caused the nails to clump together, with some nails becoming magnetized. The patient is recovering well and remains in stable condition. 
Doctors at the hospital have previously treated patients who swallowed nails, wires and lighters, but this was their first case involving 180 nails. 
The man’s family members told Jimu News, a news portal under Hubei Daily, that he had a long history of mental illness and nobody knew why he swallowed so many nails. 
Li warns that people should not assume that small swallowed objects will pass on their own, particularly when they are metal or sharp. Such objects can become lodged in narrow sections of the digestive tract and cause injuries or perforation, potentially leading to peritonitis and life-threatening complications.
