Not only is the part of the rare earth separating enterprises and speaks for itself, some Western countries have frequently through diplomatic means to embarrass. Recently, Japan has even more intense pressure from the Chinese Government increased the quota of rare earth.

The Chinese government should relax its policy on exports, the Chinese Society of Rare Earth will approach the Secretary-General Albert Lam Chi-clear. He told reporters the Securities Times said: "It is important for China's rare earth resources, reserves, or from the rare earth industry, pollution, and the rare earth elements on the importance of China's future development, China government regulation on the field are rare-earth should not relax, we should not increase at a critical period of Earth's export quota. "

The two countries is the evolution of rare earth mining LAM Chi will hold the primary basis for the attitude. Before the development of rare earth industry in China, the United States is the world's largest producer of rare earth. America's Mountain Pass mine - the world's largest single deposit fluorocarbon cerium, rare earth grade of 5-10% REO, reserves of 500 million tons per, is the most important rare earth resources in the United States to. But with the development of China's rare earth industry, a large number of rare earth smelting separation of cheap Chinese products flood the international market, forcing U.S. companies continue to cut production of rare earth, to 2001, the United States completely stopped on the Mountain Pass rare earth mine in the mining, to complete dependent on imports from China Rare Earth.

"The Chinese government through the rare earth industry regulation, the price of rare earth was up, but even the current price of rare earth and the United States was not the price. What basis those Western countries began to yell at this point?" For the West declared the rare earth On the high prices, Lin will seem very angry.

In the more often a lot of cheap Chinese goods into Europe and the United States market are able to escape the fate of anti-dumping. "However, the Mountain Pass mine's shutdown did not allow the miners to unite the United States to declare war on the Chinese rare earth. Instead, they chose silence and cooperation, the intention is self-evident." Guoxin Securities researcher Peng Bo said.

China Rare Earth in a substantial reduction in export, while Western countries are lack of resources to find another way out. Such as Australia, the United States will resume the exploitation of local rare earth deposits, Japan that will be in Vietnam and Kazakhstan mining of rare earth ......" Although China supplies more than 95% of the world's rare earth, but in fact the world's total reserves of 35 - 50%, a large number of rare-earth primary products are cheap and shipped out of the door, what a pity. "LAM Chi would say.

It is understood that in the past 10 plus years, our country stood on the top of rare earth resources, but not made of rare earth pricing. But also because the policy inadequate attention disorder mining and smelting, lead to serious excess of rare earth smelting capacity, waste of resources, Chinese enterprises earn only low value-added products that point the poor profits.

LAM Chi would say Now, although the United States has basically stopped the exploitation of rare earth, but its use, but it is not processing or micro-machining of low-cost Chinese Rare Earth Society, the United States through the deep processing enterprises in the post, then sold back to China at high prices This is the sad status quo of China rare earth industry.

Guard disguised export

In some, China's export quota system is to encourage foreign enterprises to deep-processing sectors to China, so China can learn in the process of cooperation to the relevant technology. However, the situation is not thought to be.

For example, NdFeB is generally divided into smelting process procedures - Milling - Forming - sintering, while a joint venture company in South Jiangxi, their "processed" is the alloy ingot, this product can and as NdFeB Products smoothly through customs.

"In fact, NdFeB alloy ingot is the first product of the production process, will be rare earth oxide briquette can be a completely primary products, it is a totally export of rare earth in disguise." Rare earth industry to reporters chaos, a large southern Jiangxi Rare Earth Enterprise chief engineer looked very angry.

Quotas apply only to earth, not to the finished products after processing of rare earth.

So, in order to circumvent quotas, more and more Western companies to shift production to China one after another. Following in June this year, Korea Resources Corporation and POSCO shares of Baotou Novel Rare Earth tour, the Baotou Rare Earth High-tech Zone in August this year, it signed with several foreign cooperation projects in deep processing of rare earth.

Be cautious about is that some foreign-funded enterprises by the name of processing technology under the guise of cooperation with domestic companies, the actual plot only the resources of our country only. Lin Xiaobing Ganzhou Committee of Industry and told reporters that foreign companies wish to settle down really Gannan, but to prevent the above phenomenon, southern Jiangxi Rare Earth industry investment, focusing on the development of rare-earth deep-processing industry. So far, southern Jiangxi is not yet a real deep-processing enterprises of foreign capital.

Chinese Rare Earth Society previous report pointed out that as China's monopoly of the world's rare earth production resources, and other developed countries, consumption of large quantities of rare earth rare earth research, intellectual property rights to seize the high ground of rare earth, and from the outside, "started taking", trying to technology control the global production and consumption of rare earth.

Accordingly, China and Japan NdFeB production similar to, but the value is less than one-third of Japan. Apart from rare earth permanent magnet, rare earth functional materials and devices of other aspects of the core patents, but also most of the hands of Europe and the United States and Japan.

"In what way is our China business cooperation has been the focus of attention. Foreign capital also has some concerns, if the technology really is to learn the Chinese domestic enterprises, it means to establish his competitors, therefore, is not willing to invest in China and processing enterprises . "Guotai Junan researcher Sang Yong Liang told reporters, in the present, China's rare earth industry, the urgent need for access to the threshold of rare earth industry, strict control of foreign-funded enterprises to enter the field of rare earth mining.
