China will launch a new round of domestic strategic bulk minerals prospecting operations and invest efforts to bolster reserves to help enhance long-term security, Wang Guanghua, Minister of Natural Resources, said in an interview recently.
"China is highly dependent on imports of some important mineral resources, and once the international situation changes, it will certainly affect economic security or even national security," said Wang, adding that China needs to promote a higher level of opening up and take precautions to ensure domestic resource security in case of special circumstances.
