Abstract
China has hunted globally for land-based mineral deposits to fuel its economic development since the 1990s. Now, Beijing is devoting growing attention to seabed mining. As China's Five-Year Plan on Mineral Resources (2016-2020) states, 'China will actively participate in international surveys on deep sea mining and accelerate the exploration and development of ocean minerals'.
