Looking it up, the three countries Boru mentioned actually control 58.75% of the entire global reserves of Lithium. Up next is America, then Australia, and then China. And it turns out China is also the largest consumer of lithium (often exporting it from Australia). While there is apparently a lode of lithium somewhere in Afghanistan, it looks like China is prepared to swoop that up, and in the process, open up possibilities from other places, including freeing up some room for Australia (whose mines produced 42,000 tonnes of lithium in 2019) to export more to other nations.
Also, need I remind you that for much of the 20th century, a crucial portion of our oil reserves came from dictatorial regimes in the Middle East? And it still does, thus making the price of gas skyrocket when said regimes become destabilised, like, say, when the US invades?
