PM Modi will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin on 31 August.
It is not easy to compete with China’s industries, this world knows. But fewer people know that the real treasures of China are its natural resources and production, which made it the most important pillar of the global supply chain. You will be surprised to know that many countries of the world or simply say that most countries are dependent on these resources of China. Whether it is rare meaning metal, agricultural products or green energy related technology. These are the characteristics that can take the economy of a country to high and every country in the world wants to get such things.
PM Narendra Modi is on a tour of China. Know this excuse, after all, how is China’s treasure of natural resources important for the world? With the help of these natural treasures, China is number one in the world.
Rare Earth Metal Treasury China Number One
There are a total of 17 types of metals in Rare Earth Elements. Prominent among them are Neodimium, Lanthanem, DisproSium and Serium, which are the highest in modern technology. These metals are necessary for our daily life. If they are being used in mobile phones, computer chips, then they are also being used in electric vehicles and batteries. He also has an important role in jet engines and missile technology to medical equipment and green technology.
About 60–65% of the world’s rare economy is occupied by China. China not only produces these minerals but is also at the forefront of their refining and processing capacity. Developed countries like America, Japan and Europe also depend on China in terms of rare meanings. If China stops supply of these metals, then from tech companies around the world to defense industry will be affected. This is the reason that rare meaning metal is also considered to be China’s largest strategic weapon.
Blessing of nature, at the forefront of rice production
China is also called a rice bowl. China is the world’s largest rice producer. Its annual production reaches about 21-22 million tonnes. China alone holds more than a quarter of the world’s total rice production. China not only feeds its 1.4 billion citizens but also exports rice to many Asian and African countries. China has achieved amazing success in hybrid rice cultivation. The agricultural scientist Yuan Longping made varieties that also produce more in less land and less water.
The largest producer of vegetables
The green vegetables that come in the food plate are also dominated by China. China grows more than 50% of the world’s vegetables alone. China is far ahead in growing tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, onions, leafy vegetables. China sends products made from vegetables and vegetables to countries in Europe, Russia, Asia and Africa. China produces about three -fourths of garlic alone and supplies it to dozens of countries. This situation not only makes China self-reliant but also makes it an important basis of global food security.
China is also the top in green energy
China’s leadership capacity is the most different and bright in the field of green energy. China is the world’s largest solar panel manufacturer. About 75-80% solar panels in the global market come from China. This simply means that if China reduces solar panel exports, solar energy projects will become expensive worldwide. These panels have made the world easy to move towards cheap and accessible renewable energy. Even Europe and America are also dependent on China in solar panels. China reduced costs and catch in the market due to mass production. At the domestic level, China has connected millions of houses with solar energy.
China is a gust of wind in wind energy
Along with solar energy, China is number one in the world in the production of wind power equipment. 60% of wind turbines around the world are made in China. China has the world’s largest wind energy installation network, where Gwangdong and Gansu province are large centers. Europe of Europe and are dependent on Chinese equipment in the region till America. China’s contribution to Green Energy Transition is so important that it is impossible to ignore China in the fight with climate change.
World’s Blue Food Powerhouse
China has been given immense wealth by seas and rivers and has made it the world’s largest fisheries production center using technology and resources. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization reports, China alone gives 35–38% of the world’s total fish production. This production also tops China in this region.
China’s biggest contribution comes from Aquaculture (adherence to pond, lake, marine cages). China produces 6-7 million tonnes of fish and sea creatures annually. This production is exported from South Asian countries to Europe. China’s fish has been playing a big role in the protein needs of dozens of countries in Africa and Asia.
Rare herbs and traditional medicine
China’s traditional drug system is thousands of years old. Herbs, minerals and natural substances are used in it. China exports billions of dollars of herbal medicines and medicinal ingredients every year. Herbs like Ginseng, Goji Berry, Remania, Lingjhi Mushroom are the identity of China. The World Health Organization has also considered rare herbs and traditional medicine as part of medical systems. Their demand is increasing continuously in Europe, America, Japan and African countries. The market share of China in the yield of medicinal plants is more than 40%.
China’s traditional energy column is coal
Despite the race of green energy, China is still very much dependent on coal. It is also the world’s largest producer and consumer. China extracts more than four billion tonnes of coal annually (4000 million tonnes). This is about half of the world’s total coal production.
About 55-60% of China’s total electricity still comes from coal. A large number of people have got employment from the coal industry. However, along with ensuring energy security through coal, there is also great responsibility for pollution and carbon emissions on China. That is why China is trying to balance parallel by investing in solar and wind energy.
China’s coal industry is so vast that its demand-based import is a major economic source for countries like Australia, Indonesia. In this way we find that the natural treasures of China not only make it self -sufficient but also strengthen its grip on the whole world. Whether it is the production of rare meaning metal to solar panels, rice and vegetables or wind energy -related equipment. China is proving its leadership at every level.
This is the reason that China’s role in international politics and diplomacy has become so important. It is expected that these subjects will be important in PM Narendra Modi’s visit to China, because India is also progressing in agriculture, energy and technology. It will be interesting to see what India-China conversation will feed between the world’s formation and relationship.
