China’s Comprehensive Role in Global Resources – Q4 2025
ANDAMAN PARTNERS reviews the complex, comprehensive and consequential role China plays in the global resource sector.
China remains one of the world’s largest producers of resources and the largest consumer, typically importing the most mining commodities and is thus a massive market (and customer) for global producers.
China dominates much of the world’s mineral processing and related supply chains, including several critical minerals. And the country is a crucial investor and financial partner to the industry. Moreover, it has become a prominent engineering, procurement and construction partner for mining projects and operations worldwide.
China’s role in the resource sector is complex, comprehensive and consequential.
China’s growth may be slowing, and its demand growth for selected minerals and fuels may be peaking. But now is the time to form a comprehensive view of China’s role in the sector and to become more — not less — strategically engaged.
