Land Resources　China has 9.6 million square kilometers land area, accounting for 22.1% of the land area of the asian continent, and accounting for 6.4% of the world's land area, it is one of the countries which have a vast area of land. China's abundant land resources has two significant geographical features: 一、The share of mountains which have higher elevations and greater volatility (including hill, mountainous and tableland) over the plains (plains and the high plains), as the ratio of two-thirds and one-third; 二、In complex and diverse ecological environment, formed the features of more grassland, limited arable land, low forest percentage and the percentage of land which difficult to use is high. At present, grassland accounts for 37.4% of the total land area of China, farmland accounts for 10.4%, woodland accounts for 12.7%, and the land such as desert, Gobi, high and cold desert, tor, mountain glaciers and permanent snow which are difficult to use accounted for 20.5%. Nevertheless, it still has great potential for further rational use of land resources in China, in addition to the existing lawn, woodland and farmland, it is estimated that there are still about 33 million hectares of uncultivated lands suitable for agriculture, more than 6,000 million hectares of grazing land and more than 9,000 million hectares of barren hills, wasteland and woodland suitable for forest to be developed and utilized.

Energy resources　China has full range of conventional energy resources, it is one of the major energy resources countries in the world. Rich in coal resources and the coal tenure amounted to 901.453 billion tons by the end of 1990, which tops the list of world; Particular rich in waterpower resources, the academic reserves are 6.76 million kilowatts, which ranks first in the world; In addition to its proven oil reserves, it is very optimistic about the long-term reserves on land and sea in china.

Mineral resources　China is one of the few countries in the world which have many mineral species, widely distributed, large reserves and the majority of mineral resources can self-sufficiency. By the end of 1990, China’s proved mineral species which have some reserves had reached 148. Nonferrous metals have some advantages, the reserves of tungsten, antimony, tin, mercury, molybdenum, zinc, copper, bismuth, vanadium, titanium, rare earth, Lithium and others are among the largest in the world. The reserves of tungsten in china is more than three times than the other world's total reserves, the reserves of rare earth accounts for more than half of the world's total reserves, the reserves of antimony accounts for 44% of the world's total reserves. The reserves of lead, iron, silver, manganese, nickel and others would have global significance. The reserves of iron and manganese rank three in the world, but lean ore more than rich ore; In addition, it has many associated minerals. Such as in the iron ore of Panzhihua, it associates with vanadium, titanium and nickel. In non-metallic mineral, pyrite and magnesite are among the largest in the world, phosphate ranks two and asbestos is the highest in the world.

Ｗater resources　A preliminary estimate of china’s water resources is 27115 billion cubic meters. The mean annual runoffs of China’s river equal to 5.8% of the world’s total runoffs.

Forest Resource　China now has 124 million hectares of forest area, ranks eight in the world, but the forest coverage rate is only 12.98%; The reserves of forest is 9.141 billion cubic meters, ranks five in the world, and among which have a variety of excellent quality, high economic value species.

Biological resources　China is very rich in biological resources, only the species of seed plants reach 24,500, inferior to malaysia and brazil, ranks three in the world. Among these various plants, the species of economic plants (one uses a single) reach 2,411, not only provide food, medicines, fibers and a variety of other industrial raw materials, and may protect and improve the natural conditions. The species of fish in aquatic resources are about 2,400, among which marine fishes account for three-fifths, the others are freshwater fishes. Additionally, there are crustaceans, shellfish and seaweed etc.
