As of right now, China has already has had a significant influence on global commodities (Pleven, 2010). Though China is the world's largest exporter (HIll, 2018, p. 20), it also one of the world's largest consumers (Pleven, 2010). Some industries, such as energy and agriculture, are deeply affected by China due to their substantial population. Metals, such as copper and iron, are often used for infrastructure. With the world's largest economy and population, China is expected to continue to expand, which will continue to put strains on these precious commodities (Pleven, 2010). All told, as one of the world's most significant consumers and exporters, China's need for commodities may have severe impacts on the rest of the world, especially the United States' dollar and the rest of the world's economy (Pleven, 2010).
