新闻摘要：津巴布韦政府当地时间2月25日宣布，立即暂停所有原矿和锂精矿出口，涵盖在途矿产，且暂无明确恢复时间表。官方说法是要进一步敦促矿企在本地签约建厂、提高产业附加值以换取更多税收和就业机会。多家中国相关企业对外表示关注，但普遍认为短期供应链受扰有限，主要造成市场紧张情绪而非长期缺货。
这并非孤立做法，而是近年来非洲“资源民族主义”浪潮的一部分——从加税到强制本地化，再到直接接管矿权，各国手段多样。津巴布韦早在2025年已提出到2027年禁止锂精矿出口、要求当地建成冶炼能力的计划；实际影响上，津巴布韦对中国的锂矿出口占其总出口的90%，但这些来自津巴布韦的矿在中国进口中的份额约为19%，因此若长期断供，受冲击更大的一方可能是产地国家本身。另有报道提及外部资金与条件谈判一度出现、但未达成稳定协议，说明此类政策与国际合作之间常有摩擦。
思考与启发：这件事提醒我们，资源与交易既牵扯国家利益，也牵扯人的生计与信任。无论是政府的产业策略，还是企业的供应链管理，稳妥的规划和相互守信都比一时的激烈举措更能带来长远好处。对普通人来说，关注事实、稳住生活和工作节奏，脚踏实地准备，比被短期波动牵着走更为重要。

Title: Zimbabwe Halts Lithium Exports
News Summary
On 25 February, the government of Zimbabwe announced that it is stopping all shipments of raw lithium ore and lithium concentrate with immediate effect. The ban also applies to any shipments already on the way, and the government has not set a date for when the suspension will end.
Officially, the move is meant to push mining companies to sign contracts to build processing plants in Zimbabwe, so that more of the mineral’s value is added locally. The government hopes this will bring more taxes and jobs for the country.
Several Chinese firms with interests in Zimbabwe have said they are watching the situation closely, but most believe the disruption to the global supply chain will be limited in the short term—mainly creating market anxiety rather than a long‑term shortage.
This is not an isolated decision. In recent years many African nations have adopted “resource‑nationalism” policies—raising taxes, demanding local‑content agreements, or even taking direct control of mining rights. Zimbabwe had already announced in 2025 that it would ban the export of lithium concentrate by 2027 and would require the construction of domestic refining capacity.
In practice, Lithium exports to China make up about 90 % of Zimbabwe’s total lithium export volume, yet those Zimbabwean mines account for only around 19 % of the lithium China imports. So if the ban were to become permanent, the greatest impact would likely fall on Zimbabwe itself, not on Chinese buyers.
Reports also mention that negotiations over foreign investment and the conditions for the ban have been ongoing, but no stable agreement has been reached—showing how such policies can clash with international business partnerships.
Thoughts & Take‑aways
The situation reminds us that natural resources are tied to both national interests and people’s livelihoods. Whether it’s a government’s long‑term development strategy or a company’s supply‑chain planning, steady, trustworthy cooperation usually brings better results than sudden, reactionary actions.
For ordinary believers, the practical lesson is to focus on the facts, keep our daily work and life on steady footing, and prepare wisely, rather than being swept up by short‑term market swings.
