Abstract
In recent times, China's economy has experienced a favorable trajectory, although it remains susceptible to both internal and geographical risks tied to environmental degradation. “Fintech” has played a pivotal role in transforming the financial landscape of China. With the widespread adoption of mobile payment platforms have become more efficient and convenient. The integration of fintech into various sectors has enhanced productivity and innovation, contributing to economic growth. With this context in mind, the main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship among fintech, natural resources, international trade, and energy consumption in shaping China's economic growth. Data ranging from 1981 to 2023 were collected from the World Economic Indicators. To gauge the dynamic relationship among the variables, a dynamic ARDL approach is employed. The findings indicate the combined positive influence of international trade (imports and exports), fintech, and renewable energy use on China's economic growth across various time intervals and frequencies. Whereas natural resources are negatively and significantly associated with the GDP. The study's outcomes prompt the formulation of policies in alignment with these discoveries.

Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
