This study aims to analyze the comparative advantage of Indonesian mineral fuel exports to China during the period 2018–2025. Mineral fuels are one of Indonesia's important export commodities and contribute to its international trade relations, particularly with China as one of its major trading partners. This study employs a quantitative descriptive approach using secondary data obtained from Trade Map, covering Indonesia's mineral fuel exports to China, China's mineral fuel imports from the world, and Indonesia's total exports. The data are analyzed using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method to identify the comparative advantage of Indonesian mineral fuel exports in the Chinese market. The results show that the value of Indonesian mineral fuel exports to China experienced fluctuations throughout the observation period. Export values increased significantly in 2021 and reached their highest level in 2022, before declining from 2023 to 2025. Furthermore, the RCA values recorded in the dataset remained below 1 throughout the period, ranging from 0.19 to 0.33. These findings indicate that Indonesian mineral fuel exports have not demonstrated a comparative advantage in the Chinese market during the period studied. Therefore, improvements in export competitiveness and market positioning are necessary to strengthen Indonesia's presence in China's mineral fuel market.
