　问：财经分析人士表示，中国政府最近指示国有企业在海外如澳大利亚、阿根廷等地大量购买锂矿企业的股份，以保障对中国电动汽车生产至关重要的锂电池的供应，请证实并评论。
　　答：中方奉行互利共赢的开放战略，致力于深化同各国在经贸、能源、基础设施建设等各领域的合作。你提到中国在矿产领域和一些国家有合作，这并不奇怪。至于你提到的大量购买或者其他什么特别的动向，我不掌握，你可以向有关部门或者企业直接去询问。

Q: Financial analysts say the Chinese government recently instructed state-owned companies to buy stakes in lithium-ore companies overseas, such as Australia and Argentina, to protect the supply of lithium-ion batteries, which are critical to the production of Chinese electric cars, please confirm and comment. A: China pursues an opening-up strategy of mutual benefit and is committed to deepening cooperation with various countries in the fields of economy and trade, energy, infrastructure construction and so on. It is no surprise that you mentioned China's cooperation with some countries in the field of mining. As for the large amount of purchases or other special trends that you mentioned, I don't know, you can ask the department or the company directly.
