Nutrien, Barrick, Cameco, Agnico are some pretty big companies all headquartered in Canada. Not that it really matters in mining land, headquarters are often about tax benefits more than operations. Rio Tinto, BHP and most heavyweights have operations in Canada. Canadian headquartered companies also have huge mines all around the world.

What matters most is where the mine is located, not as much the company operating it.

Self-serving sure, practical? Not really. They've poisoned most of the fresh water in China to be unusable. They've built ghost cities all over China rotting and falling down without ever being used or finished in most cases. They are destroying their economy by continually locking down major economic centers repeatedly for covid.

I would say they are ruthless, rather than practical
