China’s Role in Global Capex Project Procurement by ANDAMAN PARTNERS Co-Founder Rachel Wu
Analysis by ANDAMAN PARTNERS Co-Founder Rachel Wu on how China’s role has evolved in global capex project procurement
ANDAMAN PARTNERS presents perspectives on selected key issues related to China in the global mining sector.
China remains one of the world’s largest producers of resources and the largest consumer, and it is typically the largest importer of commodities and, hence, a massive market (and customer) for global producers. It dominates much of the world’s mineral processing and related supply chains, including several critical minerals. And it is a significant investor and finance partner to the industry. Moreover, it has become a prominent engineering, procurement and construction partner for mining projects and operations worldwide.
China’s resource sector role 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.
