As global competition intensifies over critical minerals, the race to secure stable and diversified supply is rapidly reshaping the industry—redefining investment strategies, supply chain configurations, and international partnerships.

Against this backdrop, China is advancing a more integrated approach to strategic resource governance. A key policy signal from the 2024 Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee’s Decision on Further Deepening Reform and Advancing Chinese Modernization calls to”完善战略性矿产资源探产供储销统筹和衔接体系”, underscoring the importance of coordinating the full value chain—from exploration and production to supply, storage, and end-use.

In this webinar, Mr. David BO will share insights from both policy and industry perspectives, exploring:

• How the global race for critical minerals is reshaping the sector
• China’s approach to building an integrated “探产供储销” system
• The implications for supply chain security and industrial resilience
• What this means for international business, investors, and policymakers
