On the morning of December 5, reporters visited Wanzai Times New Energy Materials Co., Ltd. (referred to as Wanzai Times), located in Yichun, Jiangxi. Company staff stated that the planned reignition and production resumption ceremony, originally scheduled for December 5, had not taken place.

Wanzai Times is a subsidiary of CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited), primarily engaged in the production and sales of lithium carbonate. Its raw materials are mainly sourced from Yichun Times New Energy Mining Co., Ltd. (referred to as Times Mining). According to the staff, since Wanzai Times did not proceed with the reignition, the resumption of operations at Times Mining's Jianxiawo lithium mine has also been delayed.
