According to the Japanese media reports, the Japanese ambassador recently called America, England, Germany, France, Korea, countries such as China's ambassador claimed re export regulation ", "joint problems to these countries to exert pressure on China, China's export restrictions of relaxing. China's commerce ministry spokesman said on October 15, China re mining, processing and export procedure management measures are accord with international norms and wto rules, China export will be a rare blockade.
Previously, prime minister wen jiabao visited Europe has made it clear that China is necessary to control and manage the rare, but also need to take care of the world, not the rare earth as a bargaining tool. Since this year, the ministry of commerce of the two batches of rare earth general trade export quota of 24,281 tons, exports still ranked first.
Rare earth is scarce resources and the non-renewable resources, advanced industrial and defense industries essential raw materials. Current China to account for 30% of the global supply of reserves, more than 90% of demand, in the long run unsustainable. More important, because China rare earth industry, some problems existing in the long run, rare earth low-priced exports. While early Chinese development and utilization of the cause of environmental problems, rare earth industry is standardization. In recent years, China's government to maintain the sustainable development of rare earth, rare earth production and export to strengthen management and control, the country's sovereignty, within the scope of business.
Rare earth is not only an important economic resources, but also an important strategic resource, this all clear. In July, the U.S. energy policy analysts mark hendrix frith to congress of the rare-earth element: the global supply chain, China disclosed in the report, the United States, Russia, Australia's rare 36% respectively in the world reserves and 19 percent, and 5.5 per cent, China re production of the world's total output, other kingdoms 97 is zero! These countries will own rare earth resources "hide", most of the use of imported from China, its purpose self-evident low rare. Needless to say, at present there are quite a number of countries to buy rare earth resources not to use, but to reserve.
Japan is the main use of rare earth, domestic almost no rare-earth ore. Data shows, Japan in the past 10 years between low-cost buy a lot of high quality Chinese, and reserve. According to expert analysis, Japan had enough rare use for decades. Japan's economy industry minister says China's recent Tian big ZhangHong of rare earth export "no return to normal level," if he is a cheap exports over the disorderly situation, then this "normal" never appear again.
Every country has the right to use their resources rationally. China has long provided a lot to the low rare earth products, it is now time to better consider China rare earth industry development. China recently according to domestic laws and regulations of the rare earth industry taken necessary management and restrictions, its core purpose is to protect the environment and realizing sustainable development. Do not only is responsible for the development of China in the world, is responsible for the development. providing by China Rare Earth from People.com
