Interpretation of half a century of US-Japan trade friction has proven that China would like to trade in rare earth litigation almost impossible to win . The United States has free trade under the banner name of dumping their products everywhere , then the competitiveness of Japanese companies greatly improved, but cheap products throughout the United States , therefore , the United States lowered the banner of free trade, launched a new fair trade rule , which requires that Japan must limit the number of American exports . With the decline of the U.S. manufacturing sector , the United States brings up the dust for decades patent banner. Under the banner of protecting intellectual property , huge reparations eventually ruined developed the world 's first autofocus camera Minolta . From the beginning of the 1990s , the United States will be the subject of a year , asked Japan to limit transformation. After all, they can not only rules , but also how they say goes . Therefore, we can argue, but do not imagine this lawsuit can win it back.

However , WTO losing does not mean automatically for China's rare earth resources cheaply massive outflow of green light. We do not tangle in terms of the export quota , can learn from Western countries and the adoption of a strategic resource protection practices, "restrict " to ensure that our interests .

Rare earth mining has brought great damage to our environment , we can not allow future generations to bear the consequences of this are now profitable mining of rare earth person must assume responsibility for environmental remediation . Improve rare earth resources tax is an effective measure. In 2011 , China's rare earth resources raised taxes 10 times , improving to 60 yuan per ton . However , this tax on the daunting environmental governance is concerned , is still a drop in the bucket . In fact, such a tax would have been digested by the rare earth development companies , and did not protect rare earth resources. Therefore, we should depart from the actual environmental governance , a substantial increase in resources tax . Thus , not only can promote the healthy development of rare earth industry , but can also in the export quota measures are not taken , so that foreign buyers also assume corresponding responsibility.

Western countries want is cheap resources, such measures will certainly accusation , but we can improve domestic regulations under the premise of an upright manner to implement such measures. In fact, this is the most effective "restrict " measures. Develop rare mineral resources protection law , the establishment of rare earth reserve system , improve the country 's legal system , which is the approach advocated by Western countries . In many international affairs , they are often in domestic law as a shield to protect their vital interests . Our eye for an eye person in his body , either to curb the destruction of our environment , and can ensure our precious earth resources will not be a huge loss of cheap , why not it? If this is the case , then the WTO losing , something that is not a bad thing turned into a good examples .
