Critical minerals closely relate to the economic, environmental, defense, and intergenerational resources security of the US and are therefore infuential in US economic recovery, industrial restructuring, scientifc and technological competition, national security, and strategy toward China. Since the Obama administration, the US has been increasingly focusing on its critical minerals strategy, as illustrated by its issuance of a series of related laws and executive orders and its eforts to advance the reform of relevant agencies. The Biden administration has increased the emphasis on supply chains for critical minerals that are vital to green and lowcarbon development and pushed for more coordination among government departments and agencies. Perceiving China as a competitor to the US, Joe Biden has announced large-scale investment and procurement measures at home and promoted institutional building in concerned sectors as part of efforts to counter China’s competitive advantages. Simultaneously, he has been developing a security strategy of and advocating supply chain alliances for critical minerals based on US allies. The critical minerals strategy of the Biden administration will greatly influence the stable development of China’s supply chains. In response, China should focus on forging a new type of international relations, with an aim to promote global resource governance and ensure the sustained security of its critical mineral supplies.
