While the foreign dependence on petroleum and iron ore continues to rise, large quantities of refined minerals such as refined aluminum, refined copper, and potash have to rely on foreign aid because of “internal supplyâ€. This has led to the continuous dependence on foreign minerals in China over the past 15 years. rising. Ministry of Land and Resources Minister Xu Shaoshi stated at the launching ceremony of the 43rd Earth Day yesterday that the above-mentioned five major minerals have exceeded their foreign dependence by 50%. With the increasing global competition for mineral resources, the risks and costs of using foreign mineral resources are increasing. Will gradually increase.
According to data from the Ministry of Land and Resources, in recent years, imports of major minerals such as petroleum, iron, copper, aluminum, and potassium salts have risen sharply and foreign dependence has remained high. The latest figures are: 54.8% for oil and 53.6% for iron ore. , 52.9% of refined aluminum, 69% of refined copper, and 52.4% of potassium salt.
“The risk of excessive dependence on offshore minerals has increased, and it is also unrealistic. With the rapid rise of emerging economies, the game of economic interests among nations, the increase in global competition for mineral resources, and the steep increase in the cost of overseas mineral resources, the difficulty and risk have increased significantly. In Xu Shaoshi's view, the direct consequence of the intensification of the above problems is to seriously affect the economic and social development of our country.
Lin Boqiang (microblogging), director of the China Energy Economic Research Center at Xiamen University, also stated that it is an indisputable fact that China’s mineral resources are highly dependent on foreign resources. In recent years, the price of mineral resources has risen, which has also increased the number of minerals purchased by our country. the cost of. Too much reliance will inevitably affect China’s economic security, and it is necessary for China to increase the exploitation of mineral resources.
In October last year, the State Council adopted the "Outline for Strategic Action for Ore Prospecting (2011-2020)" and clarified the "10 Years' Prospecting Strategy Roadmap" for the next decade.
