  •  In recent years, the "go-out" process of central government-owned enterprises has been accelerated, and CHINALCO has been a star in the "go-out" drama of the central government-owned enterprises. Following is an interview with CHINALCO Party Secretary and President Xiong Weiping ——
  • This marks another major step forward for CHINALCO down the road of developing resources overseas.
  • We tried to get aligned to the leading international companies, and also approached the best private companies in China to learn from them. We reformed our management system and management structure. We changed our practices in selecting leaders

  • After two years of all-round and in-depth structural adjustment, the single line of aluminum business in the past was expanded into nine lines of business including aluminum, copper, rare metals & rare earth, resource exploration, international engineering, international trade, energy, finance, and overseas investment, and we already had the structure of a diversified mining company.
  • Xiong Weiping: Yes. During the first year of the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, we have set a strategic goal of "becoming a world-class mining company with the biggest growth potential".
  • To become a world-class mining company, we need to create another CHINALCO in the next 10 years. Obviously, it would be very hard to realize this goal within China's territory, and we must go out and participate in global competition and collaboration.
  • The ups and downs in the collaboration can also be positive and meaningful. CHINALCO has established its status in negotiation and cooperation with major western mining companies, and has obtained certain participation right and a bigger say.

  • SHANGHAI — The state-owned giant Aluminum Corporation of China and the Aluminum Corporation of America stunned analysts and investors Friday by buying a minority stake in Rio Tinto, the world’s third largest mining company.
  • “The Chinese are probably the best capitalists that communism will ever have given birth to,” said Michelle Applebaum, head of an independent steel equity research firm in Chicago.
  • Last year, China’s state-controlled sovereign wealth fund — another increasingly visible and controversial measure of the new wealth of the nation — invested in the private equity firm Blackstone. Later, it paid about $5 billion to buy a small stake in Morgan Stanley.

  • Now, China appears to be making another bold play to capture the natural resources it needs to fuel its fast-growing economy.
  • Most of the $14 billion came from Chinalco, which is ultimately controlled by the government in Beijing. Alcoa, which is based in Pittsburgh, contributed only about $1.2 billion to purchase the Rio stake.
  • "We believe that the Chinese recognize that control will likely be elusive — if not impossible — and that ownership of its raw material resources is key to the future.”
  • The statement, analysts say, was a hint that the two could team up with other companies or entities, possibly from China, to bid for all of Rio and wage a tough takeover battle with BHP, driving up the price of Rio shares.
  • partly because of suspicions that the Chinese government could be behind the deal.
  • Neither Chinalco nor Alcoa have the cash or stock to make a $150 billion bid, analysts say. Shares of Alcoa are worth about $30 billion and Chinalco shares in China are worth about $50 billion.

  • Each working day the People's Bank of China buys more than $US2 billion ($1.88 billion) worth of foreign currency from Chinese businesses and invests it overseas. China's outbound direct investment - the portion that matters to Australian takeover targets - has increased 30-fold in seven years. ''We've had something like 260 projects approved since November '07, $65 billion worth,'' says Frances Adamson, Australia's new ambassador in Beijing.
  • ''If China follows the typical pattern of an emerging economy, it will ship $US1 trillion to $US2 trillion in direct investment abroad by 2020.''
  • hina's "go out" investment strategy became policy in 1999 and began to get noticed around the world about 2007 when China's foreign exchange reserves began to break records. But the strategy was really conceived in the 1970s and born in the 1980s in collaboration with Australia.
