I can only see one scenario where there would be a need to depose the Bolivian government in the short-term as the lithium isn't currently being mined. That would be if they were planning on giving a Chinese company a 50-100 year exclusive mining lease, possibly as part of a belt and road deal. While production would mostly go to China it could still affect global demand and prices and give China a lot of leverage in the lithium market.
