Rare Earth Why so important?

"Rare is a valuable strategic resource, the" industrial MSG, "" the mother of new material, "said a strategy of non-renewable resources, cutting-edge technology areas and is widely used in military field, advanced equipment manufacturing, new energy, new industries and other essential raw materials, high-tech industries. today's world, every 5 new invention, there is an inseparable earth.

China is the world's most resource-rich countries of rare earth, known as "Rare Earth Kingdom", total reserves of about 90 million tons, accounting for 36% of the world. Russia's rare earth reserves account for 19% of the world's total, the United States accounted for 13%, Australia 5%. At present, China is the world's largest producer of rare earth, about the world's production of Jiucheng. United States and other developed countries as a strategic metal rare earth elements will be given high priority. 10 years ago, the U.S. government to protect the local rare earth resources, to take vigorous enforcement measures to restrict exports of rare earths to the final by a complete cessation of export, archive a large number of mines, instead of rare earth products imported from abroad to meet its domestic demand. "

First of all rare earth mineral resources is not simply that it has a deeper meaning behind it. It can be used extensively for military and western countries in general military embargo on China, in fact, in a sense, they still regard China as a hostile country. Original manufacture the weapon itself is China's rare earth, China is now concerned about their threat to China's rare earth into their own weapons, the Chinese government obligation to protect the personal safety of its citizens to the threat from their own resources. From our own protection, we have to restrict the export of rare earth. These resources are not not say, but to establish an effective system, you do use these resources, and with where I want to clear context. As you sell me some equipment for military purposes, you also require clear, even with some mechanisms and institutions to limit me. You own these restrictions is not fair to us, because we are all members of WTO, why do you want to limit me? Since you to limit me, I have the right to limit you. Only one day you give up on my limit, I will give up on your limitations.

China has so many resources, but these resources are limited, we are now so hard to use, we are cheap to use, will not be treasured resource, but also wasteful. Reasonable response to its value, we not only use their own good, but also to leave our children and grandchildren, and we want the world to make good use of this resource. For China, is to establish an effective system as soon as possible, all to buy our companies and countries that have rare earth against us the necessary and relevant commitments, and this commitment is to check, we can guarantee the supply of rare earth and his Rare use.

Rare earth is an important strategic resource needs of China's rare earth export policy of China themselves, and this policy should be beneficial to the development of national economy, but also help protect the environment and national security, and China, as the earth power, sound science use of this scarce strategic resources, the sustainable development of the world will also be beneficial, I hope to see that the Western media.
