This research using secondary data from 2020 to 2025. The research focuses on how China can be consistent in using the basic tools and materials used in the manufacture of electric vehicles so that there are more diverse electric car manufacturers. The key indicators analyzed include mastery of the supply chain of key raw materials (such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt), innovation in battery technology, and government policies that support the expansion and development of the new energy vehicle industry. The study concludes that China's technological rise in the 21st century has not only impacted domestic progress, but also shifted the dynamics of global competition in technology, economics, and geopolitics.
