Abstract:
      Strategic mineral resources are the key supports to the modernization of national defense, the development of high and new technologies, the progress of industrial and the improvement of people's living standard of China. The sufficient, stable and coordinated supply of strategic mineral resources is of great significance to building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects. At present, strategic mineral resources of China are confronted with such challenges as low level of overall resource endowment as well as development and utilization, high degree of external dependence and source concentration, unstable situation in international competition and the relation between market supply and demand, and deep influence of unconventional emergencies and non-traditional security threats. In order to maintain and guarantee the supply security of strategic mineral resources of our country, it is necessary to make breakthroughs in such coping strategies as explorating and integrated utilization of mineral resources, "going out" and source diversification, international practical cooperation and global resource governance, risk warning capability and resolution mechanism.
