25, METI said in a statement, the Government and the
country's major large-scale enterprises will spend 110 billion yen (about 1.3
billion
U.S. dollars) subsidy over a hundred Japanese companies
on earth to save the cause, and to subsidize the production losses, thereby
reducing the Japan's reliance on imports of Chinese rare
earth.
Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" 25 said in the scheme,
the Government has paid private enterprises amounted to 33.1 billion yen, and
the
remaining number filled by large enterprises, institutions
amounted to 110 billion yen. Grant funds will be for the country's 160 of 110
items, including rare earth recycling, reduce consumption
and imports of rare-earth channels widened. If Toshiba will introduce grinding
equipment without the use of rare earth elements in the
project, Toyota, Nissan auto parts developed non-rare earth materials
laboratory
equipment investment. 25, analysts said Bloomberg, the
subsidies can also be sure to use the earth's core of a new generation of
environmentally friendly vehicles and parts industry to
stay in Japan.
Economy and Industry, said Japan's annual demand of about
30,000 tons of rare earth in the next period of time, hoping to reduce that
figure to 2 million tons, reducing some of the main imports
from China rare earth resources.
Bloomberg said, "China's rare earth control 95% of
world supply," Japan has always been the biggest demand for rare earth in
China and
importing countries, rare earth resources, exports to Japan
to play a key role in the economy. 25, the BBC said last July, China announced
a reduction of rare earth export policy, the same year, 9
months after the date of the collision, the Chinese Rare Earth exports to Japan
was stopped. Although exports since November last year,
gradually recovered, but still less than 35% over the same period the previous
year, and 3-month prices Liu Cheng.
"Sankei Shimbun" analysis that the Diaoyu Islands
in the collision last fall as an opportunity to actually take the Chinese Rare Earth
embargo, Japan, China, the risk of over-dependence thus
revealed. Affected by the Government in the 2010 supplementary budget to deal
with
the crisis response costs up to 1,000 billion yen.
In addition to reducing dependence on Chinese rare earth,
but Japan also plans to go abroad to invest in overseas production of rare
earth. After China's restrictions on the export of rare
earth, Mongolia, Australia, Vietnam, Japan, the United States have on the wave
development. Senior analyst at Shinsei Securities, said
Yasuhiro Matsumoto, the Japanese government and businesses together will
benefit
the future development of enterprises, reduce the
production burden. Subsidies and access to many of the companies in Japan,
Japanese
companies in future negotiations with China, accounted for
even more advantages
