A brief analysis of the problems existing in Chinese copper industry and some countermeasures

Recently,China has become the world's largest copper consumer,and copper production has shown a gradual increase in the world production.By analyzing current situation of Chinese copper resources and copper industry,this paper argues that there are still some urgent problems existing in Chinese copper industry to be solved.For example,Chinese copper resources are in short supply bringing about highly external dependence;Copper industrial concentration is low tending to be discrete;Sophisticated copper products restricted by the technology and equipments are difficult to meet domestic demand;Copper tailings' comprehensive utilization is lacking.Therefore,in order to guarantee the healthy and sustainable development of the Chinese copper industry and the security of national economy,it is suggested that our country should focus entirely on the survey of domestic copper resources,positively implement the strategy of "walking out" at the same time,improve the degree of copper industrial centralization,promote the development of sophisticated copper products,and make full use of renewable copper resources.
