19 of 20. That is how many of the world's critical minerals China dominates in refining, per a Visual Capitalist chart based on the US Geological Survey's 2026 Mineral Commodity Summaries. Not mining. Refining. Mining is spread across the world. Refining is concentrated in one country. 99 percent of gallium. 90 percent-plus of graphite. 90 percent-plus of manganese. 90 percent-plus of rare earths. These are the inputs to EV batteries, wind turbines, semiconductors, advanced defense systems, and every AI chip in production. The exposure isn't hypothetical. In 2023 China restricted gallium exports. Prices spiked and Western supply chains scrambled for months. It was a preview, not the show. For CFOs and boards this matters in three places. One. If your product depends on any of these inputs, you have a single-country dependency embedded in the supply chain. Most companies don't know their own exposure at the material level. Ask your operations lead. If they can't answer in 24 hours, that's the answer. Two. Reshoring is slower than most industrial policy debates suggest. Refining capacity takes 7 to 10 years to build. Permits alone take years. There is no quick fix. Three. The next moves in export controls, either direction, will not be telegraphed. They will show up as prices moving before headlines. The mining conversation is a distraction. The refining chart is the real geopolitics. If you track the structural exposures most companies underestimate, follow along. I post on this every week.
