U.S. tariffs on Chinese lithium batteries surged to 104%-206.5% as of April 2025, disrupting global supply chains. Chinese manufacturers leverage vertical integration (60% lithium processing, 85% equipment share) and advanced tech (99.5% yield rates) to empower global clients through modular production lines, regional hubs (e.g., Malaysia), and sodium-ion transition strategies, offsetting trade barriers with cost-efficient, future-proof solutions.
