The US needs $85 billion to build copper mines to replace China's

American logistics expert reports from China video: The US needs $85 billion to build copper mines to replace China's. Where are the investors? Investors are not foolish won’t invest in US when production cost much higher than China. 美國物流專家中國視訊報導：美國需要850億美元建造銅礦以取代中國。投資者在哪裡？當美國生產成本遠高於中國時，投資者不會愚蠢地在美國投資.

Large subsidies and tax credits are available to develop a copper supply chain that would reduce dependence on China, who is the world's leader in copper refining.

But China's copper supply chains are highly efficient, clean, and low cost. Chinese companies have strong supplier contracts with resource-rich copper areas in Africa, Mexico, Peru, and Chile.

China's deep investments in copper supply chains were necessitated by its rapid industrialization, and then by its enormous factory sector for appliances and electronics. Now, the world's copper mines feed China's production of electric vehicles and green energy equipment.

Industry experts forecast a parabolic boom in demand for copper, along with plunging demand for oil, as the world's transportation networks electrify. But insiders are also deeply pessimistic about our own companies' ability to compete against China's smelting and refining industries for copper, and investors have thus far shunned any new mines or smelting operations in North America or Europe.

大量補貼和稅收抵免可用於發展銅供應鏈，從而減少對中國的依賴，中國是世界銅精煉領域的領導者。

但中國的銅供應鏈高效、清潔、成本低。 中國企業與非洲、墨西哥、秘魯和智利銅礦資源豐富的地區簽訂了強而有力的供應商合約。

中國對銅供應鏈的深度投資是其快速工業化以及其龐大的家電和電子工廠部門所必需的。 現在，世界銅礦為中國生產電動車和綠色能源設備提供原料。

產業專家預測，隨著世界交通網路的電氣化，對銅的需求將呈現拋物線式成長，而對石油的需求將大幅下降。 但內部人士也對我們自己的公司與中國冶煉和精煉行業競爭銅的能力深感悲觀，投資者迄今迴避北美或歐洲的任何新礦山或冶煉業務.
