China's dominance in critical mineral supply chains, particularly cobalt, is under scrutiny due to its reliance on imports. The Democratic Republic of Congo's export controls have significantly impacted China's cobalt supply, leading to soaring prices and competition for resources. Congo's new quota system has halted exports, causing a supply crunch. The U.S. is increasing its involvement in Congo's mineral sector, aiming to reduce China's grip on these resources. China's mining dependency poses challenges for its cobalt supply chain, highlighting vulnerabilities in its critical minerals strategy.
