Study on the Development of China’s Overseas Resource-based Industrial Parks in Belt and Road Partner Countries
Abstract：
As the international resource competition becomes increasingly complex and China’s demand for mineral resources grows stronger, China’s Overseas Resource-based Industrial Parks (CORIPs) are becoming an important platform for promoting the sharing and effective utilization of resources in Belt and Road Partner countries, and the CORIPs can also provide a strong guarantee for the safe supply of mineral resources in China. Based on existing practices, this paper outlines the overall characteristics of CORIPs in macro distribution, micro location, resource types, industrial chain links, and development modes, and summarizes the positive effects and challenges of their practices, supported by field surveys and data from typical resource-based industrial parks. Based on this, the prospects of CORIPs are analyzed and proven from two perspectives: international resource endowment and supply-demand pattern, and China’s resource consumption demand and market distribution. Then future adaptable development strategies are proposed according to the new factors of production, new international relationships, and new value orientations. These strategies provide support for mutual benefits and sustainable development in China-foreign resource cooperation and provide a decision-making basis for governments and enterprises to carry out international resource-based capacity cooperation.
