As the first rare earth producer and exporter country, but the development of China's rare earth market was chaotic . Overcapacity in the domestic rare earth mining is very serious , serious waste of resources and ecological damage. Disorderly competition makes the "industrial gold" has sold rare earth became " cabbage price ." And with this in stark contrast to the United States, Australia and other countries extremely rare earth resources , but their limitations and stop the exploitation of rare earth in favor of imports from China .

Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths on , frankly, the WTO ruled against the appeal and China's rare earth export quota system is " beyond the expected, makes sense ."

Back in 2001 the accession negotiations for accession to the WTO, China as promised , within the prescribed period to cancel the export most of the products exported annually 2009-2015 clearly no more than 35,000 tons of rare earth . 2010 , fell to 30,258 tons of export quotas beginning .

Zhang Anwen said to heavy rare earth mining in southern China as an example: In order to get 10,000 tons of heavy rare earth oxides, 100 square kilometers of vegetation will result in the destruction consideration shocking. " Our pay and unequal access to a serious imbalance . " Zhang Anwen respect, protection of resources and the environment and regulate industrial order , it is the policy of our government to implement protective measures against the rare earth industry in mind.

"Although China's rare earth export quota system eventually sentenced violations, but after a full defense and the burden of proof , WTO Expert Group endorsed the policy objective for China is still protecting the environment, resources and sustainable development needs , in line with the special nature of WTO rules . " Zhang Anwen said .

industry long-standing "cabbage price" behind

A series of policy measures to effectively regulate the market of China's rare earth industry . China Rare Earth has changed in the international market, " cabbage price of gold to sell ," the status quo. But for China's cheap rare earth consumption habits of foreign companies, whose interests suffer.

Earlier, assistant to the president of China Minmetals Mr Wang said in an interview that in the past China's rare earth industry are selling raw materials, do not pay attention to the back-end applications. 1 dollar of rare earth materials , we roughing up to sell 10 yuan , 20 yuan , to the U.S. and Europe made ​​product, we will spend 1,000 yuan to buy it back.

" Why should we sell cheaper to buy when they so expensive ? " Zhang Anwen on frankly, behind the kinds of rare earth industrial development in many long-standing presence .

Zhang Anwen said China 's rare earth industry , is one of the few industries with certain international competitiveness . In support of the state policy , entirely on its own resources and technical capabilities to achieve from rare earth mining , smelting, to environmental protection, good development .

However, China is a " rare big country" , they are not "rare earth power ." Rare earth industry itself has a very prominent issue, focus on performance in five areas . First, the rare earth mining , smelting production overcapacity serious , rare earth oxides capacity and output ratio of about 3.2 , much higher than steel, cement overcapacity excess coefficient industry ; Second, under Gregory driven by high prices and mining and smelting separation, environmental pollution and ecological damage costly ; third , private mining digging , serious cases of smuggling of rare earth , rare earth prices under long-term impact of non- market factors ; fourth , industry concentration is not enough ; fifth, China's rare earth downstream industries development is weak , the situation in the " nuclear high base " and the kinds of applications of rare earth materials more serious .

Rare earth prices Governance secure first

If the complainant is still not ideal situation , China will have to amend the related export restrictions , which will have a greater impact on the rare earth industry ?

" RE game depends largely on the price . " Zhang Anwen on said that in the short term, the rare earth market may form a certain degree of price volatility . The large fluctuations in the price of rare earth products for the downstream industry chain development is not the gospel.

"fear of rare earth price spike . " Shenzhen Tianli and Magnetic Industry Co., Ltd. Marketing Department is responsible for people , said the company set up in Ganzhou NdFeB production base, in rare metals processing, production of NdFeB, magnetic buttons , and other magnetic products. 2011 to 2012 , a roller coaster -like rare earth raw material price changes , so that the whole industry enterprises to withstand a lot of pressure . As the rare earth raw materials skyrocketing , even smaller than the profits of deep processing of raw materials mining profits. Rare earth materials soaring overnight over a lot of people are doing magnetic materials, has nothing to do with the rare people who started in this industry , and now serious excess capacity many companies have cut production and protect the price . The demand side of enterprises turn to look for other alternative materials , magnetic materials applications hit the market .

" Rare earth prices , the first rule secure . " Zhang Anwen on the said industrial development is the most taboo volatility in raw material prices , the further development of rare earth downstream industries, promote the application of rare earth material harm than benefit . Should establish a relatively stable price formation mechanism of rare earth products , to provide a stable environment for the enterprise market enterprises downstream applications .

2013 onwards, China Rare Earth Industry Association has released the rare earth industry price index in the form of the price range from the industry 's 25 most representative sample of companies forming daily trading price statistics . Maintenance industry run by the price index , the impact of inhibiting capital speculation .

Zhang Anwen also reminded enterprises, foreign rare earth development and utilization of international environmental concern. United States , Australia, India and Russia have a wealth of rare earth resources, in 2013 , Greenland abolished the ban on uranium mining and rare earth mine , allowing domestic and foreign mining companies exploiting mineral resources in its territory in the Arctic . This means that in the future , in the world or the formation of diversified international rare earth supply system.

World Trade Organization (WTO) panel report released in late March about Chinese exports of rare earths dispute , ruled export tariffs on Chinese rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum related products taken quota management measures violate WTO regulations. April 25 , China's appeal documents submitted direction as the respondent WTO Appellate Body (Appellate Body).

Despite appeals express our attitude and position on the case , but insiders said " the likelihood of a successful appeal of the Chinese side is very small ," but behind this trade dispute "tug of war " , and has exposed a deeper maybe the problem is more worthy of our reflection.

"As a high-tech industry essential raw materials , rare earth has ' industrial vitamins ' said. " Deputy Secretary-General of China Rare Earth Society陈占恒in an interview with Technology Daily Reporter interview , said," This is why a number of countries and regions in the United States, Europe, Japan and other so concerned about the problem of rare earth export quotas and tariffs . "

According to Chen Zhanheng introduction , rare earth is widely used in wind power, electric cars, computers , smart phones , aerospace, defense industry and other manufacturing . Our country is currently the world 's largest rare earth refining , processing and exporting countries . " Prior to this , the United States is the world's largest supplier of rare earths , accounting for over 50 % of the world , such a state until 2002 . 1990s , China began mining rare earths. A few years ago China's rare earth supply was 95% -97 % of global supply, has declined in recent years , because now other countries are also produced . "He said," When the United States declared in 2002 because of environmental and pollution problems turn off the rare earth production , but in fact, there is a very important reason , and China is its rare earth prices are not competitive compared to our prices too cheap . "

This period was the oversupply of China's rare earth market , many investors blindly flock of rare earth industry , resulting in domestic and international market situation was the emergence of low-cost sales . "We must strengthen control of the front scale mining , metallurgy strictly prohibited investment into the separation , including new materials , because these areas have varying degrees of overcapacity. But also increase the ecological restoration , pollution control efforts . " Chen Zhanheng said.

Cause of China's rare earth prices was "too cheap" , was developed because of China 's own intellectual property rights of "rare earth smelting and separation technology " significantly improves the rare earth smelting separation efficiency. "This technology was born in the 1980s, although the technology itself is a good thing , but at that time our patent awareness has not been so strong, and there is no transfer of intellectual property protection everywhere , technicians learn and to go elsewhere factories, technically There is no limit , causing overcapacity . " Chen Zhanheng said," a sophisticated material , and it was sold into ' cabbage price ', so not only domestic , but also affected the foreign rare earth market . "

" Since 2010 , rare earth prices gradually rise, U.S. companies feel that there is room for profit , of course, there are the strategic needs of the United States itself rare , so rare earth production resumed . " Chen Zhanheng said.

He told reporters: " China began to implement a quota policy in 1999 is to regulate the export of rare earth products of domestic enterprises order, rather than to restrict exports , because we give a quota has been higher than the actual volume of exports has never run before. "In the rare case of a dispute , the Commerce Department also made ​​it clear that : For the Panel finds that China's export duties involved in the product, export quotas and export quota management and allocation measures are inconsistent with WTO rules and China's commitments on joining the WTO , China was sorry.

China believes that under increasingly severe pressure on resources and the environment , the Chinese government in recent years to strengthen and improve the high pollution, high energy consumption of the integrated management of resource products , "These management measures in line with WTO advocates sustainable development goals & rdquo ; .

In addition to the problems of the industry itself , the level of international negotiations and legal construction of China 's rare earth dispute case also exposed the short board . According to the mandatory provisions of WTO rules , WTO member states governments and their administrative actions bound to accept the norms and rules of the WTO , and through the Trade Policy Review Mechanism and accept the strict supervision of the dispute settlement mechanism of the WTO and its members . "So , the WTO requires improve our administrative law system , the rule of law requires the government administration , government affairs public, administrative procedures. The development and improvement of administrative law to join WTO with China is closely related to the ability to obtain the desired effect . " relevant sector experts told reporters , " Since China's WTO accession , we have been standardized and improve their own legal system, this dispute has also exposed the case of international trade rules we use short board , these are the places we need to make up . "

In this regard, China WTO Research Association has publicly said He Weiwen , a few years ago to a rare dispute he had expected would happen . He said: " We set up rare earth export quotas and export taxes in order to protect resources and the environment , this is still compliant . But the problem is in the domestic market is not similar to the consumption of rare earth products and prices sophisticated management practices, thus creating inequality both inside and outside .
