Our lives depend on many important resources, such as lithium, copper, iron, gold, silver, oil, natural gas, coal, rare earth elements, wheat, corn, and soybeans.
These resources are used to make batteries, build houses, cook food, and generate electricity.
Only a few countries in the world have many of these resources, such as China, the United States, Russia, Brazil, and Australia.
Many countries in Africa and Latin America have a lot of minerals and food, but they cannot decide the prices or process them themselves; they can only sell to other countries.
Therefore, countries with many resources are not necessarily wealthy.
China buys a lot of raw materials, processes them, and then sells them.
The United States and Russia use resources to influence the world.
Now, everyone wants more resources, and competition is increasing.
We hope that in the future every country can fairly use its own resources so that everyone can live a better life.
