Xiang Guangda is a Chinese businessman, the self-made billionaire Founder and Executive Chairman of Tsingshan Holding Group, a massive privately held conglomerate specializing in nickel, stainless steel manufacturing, and resource extraction. His career is rooted in industrial manufacturing, resource management, and entrepreneurial audacity.

Xiang's philosophical approach centers on scale, vertical integration (controlling the entire supply chain from nickel ore mining to stainless steel production), and long-term commitment to cost control. He founded Tsingshan in 1988, recognizing the immense, untapped domestic and international demand for affordable stainless steel.

• Tsingshan Holding Group (Founder & Chairman): The core private asset, a global leader in nickel and stainless steel production (a crucial player in the global resource and battery markets).
• Industrial Pioneer: His success is built on scale manufacturing and dominating the domestic and international market for essential steel and nickel commodities.
• Controversy/Crisis: His company was central to the 2022 LME Nickel Crisis due to massive short positions, leading to regulatory scrutiny.
• Investment Strategy: His philosophy is rooted in long-term investment in industrial assets and resource control (especially in Indonesia).

Xiang Guangda's strategic genius was his commitment to radical vertical integration. He founded Tsingshan in 1988, successfully building it into a global force by pioneering the Rotary Kiln–Electric Furnace (RKEF) process for nickel pig iron (NPI), which significantly lowered the cost of stainless steel production. His structural contribution is immense: pioneering the modern, scale, vertically integrated stainless steel and nickel model globally, with massive resource investments in Indonesia.

His career faced a massive, public crisis during the 2022 LME Nickel crisis, where a large short position held by Tsingshan led to dramatic market volatility. He remains Executive Chairman, guiding the company's continuous expansion. His wealth is secured by the colossal, long-term, stable profitability of the global metals, resource, and industrial sectors.

Xiang Guangda's social impact stems from Tsingshan Group's role as a massive industrial employer and provider of essential metals (nickel, stainless steel) for global construction, manufacturing, and battery production. His investments in Indonesia significantly drive regional industrial development. His personal philanthropy supports various community and educational initiatives.
