China is the world's largest producer of coal, yet it still imports coal due to its high demand and varying quality requirements. Therefore, the correct answer from your options would be **coal**.
However, if you are looking for a resource where China is a significant producer but still imports, that would be **iron ore**. Despite being a major producer of iron and steel, China imports a substantial amount of iron ore to meet its industrial needs. So if we focus solely on the correct option from your provided list, it would be **iron ore**.
