Abstract

Since the country's opening to the world, China's rapid economic growth has resulted in strong demand for a wide variety of mineral commodities. During the same period, China's mineral production increased sharply. China's increased mineral production and demand affected the worldwide availability of minerals and metals, the market prices, and trade. Ministry of Land and Resources of China (MLR) planned to build as many as 10 strategic mineral reserve, including reserves of aluminium, copper, manganese, uranium, and other mineral that the country urgently needed. In white paper of China's mineral resources, China is planning the mineral resources conservation and its reasonable utilization, domestic supply increase of resources, activation of cooperative development with foreign partners, balance in resources development and environment conservation, and sustainable resources management as the mineral resources policies for the China's economic development.

개방이래로 중국의 빠른 경제성장은 다양한 광물자원의 수요를 초래했다. 동시에 중국의 광물자원 생산은 가파르게 증가하였다. 이러한 중국의 증가된 광물자원 생산 및 수요는 광물 및 금속자원의 전 세계 수급에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 중국 국토자원부는 알루미늄, 구리, 망간, 우라늄 및 기타 국가 긴급수요에 필요한 광물 등을 10대 전략 광종으로 지정했다. 중국은 국가 경제발전을 위한 자원정책으로서 광물자원의 보호와 합리적 이용, 중국내 광물자원 공급규모의 확대, 자원탐사개발의 대외개방과 협력개발 확대, 광물자원 개발과 환경보호의 균형발전 도모, 광물자원 관리강화를 자원백서에서 제시하고 있다.
