19 of 20. That is how many critical minerals China dominates in **refining**, according to a Visual Capitalist analysis based on the U.S. Geological Survey’s 2026 Mineral Commodity Summaries. *Not mining. Refining.* Mining is distributed around the world. Refining is concentrated in one country. - 99% of gallium. - More than 90% of graphite. - More than 90% of manganese. - More than 90% of rare earths. These are the inputs to EV batteries, wind turbines, semiconductors, advanced defense systems, and the infrastructure supporting the AI economy. The exposure is not hypothetical. In 2023 China restricted gallium exports. Prices spiked and Western supply chains scrambled for months. It was a preview, not the main event. For CFOs and boards this matters in three areas: - One. If your product depends on these materials, you may have a single-country dependency embedded deep within your supply chain. Most companies don't know their own exposure at the material level. Ask your operations team. If they cannot 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 develop. Permits alone can consume years. There is no quick fix. - Three. The next export restrictions—from either side—may not be telegraphed. They will show up as prices moving before headlines. The mining conversation gets most of the attention. - it’s a distraction. The refining chart is the real geopolitics. Critical-mineral security will shape industrial strategy, capital allocation, and geopolitical risk for the next decade. Follow along for continued analysis. #SupplyChain #CriticalMinerals #SupplyRisk
