>>As in doesn't exist? Or as in just hasn't been discovered and exploited? << In terms of oil and natural gas, and to some degree, gold, there are some has not been discovered, and they are either in South China Sea, or in western region, like XinJiang Autonomous Region and maybe even in Tibet. But as for other natural resources, they are pretty much been discovered and mostly exploited, with the exception of coals, which still have plenty to be exploited. That is the reason why the economic development in China will definitely bring up the price of natural resources.

During a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Pope-Mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing a Democratic lapel pin, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark. As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing Republican lapel pins. One quickly fired a harpoon into the sharks' side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the water. Then using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it, too, into the boat. Immediately, the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he said. "I have been told about there being bad blood between Democrats and Republicans but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true." As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies "Who was that?" "It was the Pope", one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom." "Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know jack about shark fishing. Is the bait holding up okay, or do we need to get another one?" with compliments to jimp on boom boom thread.
