It makes sense that China is #1 in many mineral resources.

But China produces much more than 19% of many commodities.

Global copper production in 2013 (17.9 million metric tons) nearly equaled over 100 years of production from the Bingham Canyon mine (~17.2 million metric tons).

Barrick’s Betze pit, 2000Newmont’s Carlin East pit and portal, 2000
Global gold production in 2013 (2,770 metric tons) approximately equaled the cumulative production from the Carlin trend in Nevada (~2,500 tons), one of world’s top regions.

Coal seams near Healy, Alaska
Annual global coal production (~7.9 billion metric tons) equals approximately 5.6 km3 of coal, or ~1,900 km2 of land with an average coal thickness of 3 m.

Valmy coal-fired power plant, Humboldt County, Nevada
The amount of CO2 released from burning of coal in 2012 would have been enough, without natural reduction from plant growth, rain, and other processes, to raise the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere by ~2.9 ppmv, a bit more than the recent global trend of CO2 increasing ~1.8 ppmv per year.
