China is developing a sodium supply chain to bolster sodium-ion battery technology, aiming to reduce dependence on the volatile lithium market. With significant investments from companies like China Minmetals and initiatives in Qinghai province, the country is industrializing sodium resources and expanding international ventures in salt lakes. By 2025, mass production of sodium-ion batteries, such as CATL's Naxtra, is expected to further support this strategic shift.
