This concern is justified, as China is dependent on foreign resources. Although the country is the world’s center for refining many metals, it imports a large portion of the necessary raw materials, ranging from 70% bauxite to 97% cobalt. China maintains the lighting thanks to imported energy. It has a lot of coal, but its deposits of other fuels do not meet its needs, forcing it to import 40% of its vegetable fuel and 70% of its crude oil. China’s food dependence is at its highest. In 2000, at most everything that citizens ate was produced at home; today, it is less than two-thirds. The country imports 85% of the 125 million tonnes of soybeans it uses annually to feed its 400 million pigs. Their dependence on foreign farmers is generally highest for coffee, palm oil and some dairy products.
Even more surprising has been China’s effort to hide metals and fuel. Estimating the amounts of copper, nickel and other metals that China may have credibly fed on and comparing them to the overall supply, Tom Price of Panmure Liberum bank reveals that the country’s reserves since 2018 have been sufficient to cover at least 35% to 133% of its annual demand. which depends on the product. By late spring, China also had 25 billion cubic meters of fuel in storage, enough to cover 23 days of consumption, up from 15 days five years ago. JPMorgan Chase’s Parlsey Ong expects this canopy to be successful in 28 days until 2030.
