China

This nation is regarded as one of the burgeoning superpowers of the century. Natural resources in China are thought to be worth $23 trillion. China has a 90% coal and rare earth metals resource base. Along with arable land, timber is another important natural resource in the nation. China is the third-largest producer of iron ore and has sizable reserves of oil and natural gas. It also exports a significant amount of magnesium and other minerals like coal, bauxite, diamonds, gold, lead, mercury, and phosphate rock. Water should not be disregarded either, as hydroelectricity is one of the main energy sources in the nation.

China has 23 trillion dollars worth of reserves overall. They contain a significant amount of coal and earthen minerals. Their total coal reserves cover about 13% of the total coal deposits in the world. China's recent discovery of shale gas resources will boost its ability to generate income.

Other resources that China possesses include rice, oil and natural gas, and immense amounts of metals such as gold and aluminum, and minerals.
