High concentrations of rare-earth are found on south island waters in Japan.

Rare has industry "gold", because of its excellent physical properties such as optical electromagnetic, with the performance of other materials of different composition, a wide variety of new material, its most notable feature is the substantial increase in the quality and performance of other products . Substantial increase for the manufacture of tanks, planes, missiles of steel, aluminum, magnesium alloy, titanium tactical performance. Moreover, the rare earth is also electronic, laser, nuclear industry, superconductivity, and many other high-tech lubricants. RE technology once used for military, will inevitably bring about a leap in military technology. In a certain sense, the U.S. military after the Cold War times overwhelming local control, and be able to openly wanton killing enemies, is due to the rare earth technology sector takes the cake.

Department of State control of rare earth resources is China's sovereign rights.

Due to market downturn , some suppliers choose price sale price reflected in more obvious in dysprosium class products, rare earth market has emerged today low-cost supply , according to Ganzhou a supplier that dysprosium now concentrated in the ticket price without 145-150 yuan / ton, dysprosium iron with no votes in the 150-155 yuan / ton , but the market there are also 1.4 million dysprosium supply such a low price . Two months dysprosium oxide prices have been declining , insiders believe that the latter still fall. For some traders , the pre- priced goods into the not yet out , and now face a lot of losses.

Gadolinium iron market, the recent market quotations went steadily down , select price shipping businesses bearish on the outlook . Gadolinium- iron on the market today with a ticket price of 18.5-19 yuan / ton, but some traders Huojia at mainstream prices, according to Ganzhou traders are eager to ship now reflect gadolinium iron at 15 with no votes Huojia yuan / ton.

Praseodymium neodymium market prices today some suppliers will be reduced to 420,000 yuan / ton, and reflect recently received orders is still small , the market price will remain weak shocks . Neodymium oxide, praseodymium market , the market for two days with a ticket price of 32.5-33.5 yuan / ton, part of a price adjustment in the range of $ 5,000 / ton.

Although September and October are purchasing and storage media came in October will determine the information, but in October will do, Shouchu no accurate information , industry suppliers reflect more of the stock market outlook is more difficult to grasp the current market demand is indeed well, fewer orders , shipping price is the main way out.

Recently, the National Office of Rare Jia Yinsong in Guangzhou " 2013 China Rare Earth Forum ," revealed that rare joint " anti" special action first phase of local self-examination has been accomplished in the summary results will supervise the handling of illegal enterprises promote the fighting rule non- routine work , and the establishment of an area of rare earth remediation work linkage mechanism and so on.

Since August this year , in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Security and other seven ministries and local government joint campaign against rare earth production , mining , illegal distribution and other aspects of the special action , the time for August 15 to November 15 . According to the original plan , the rare earth crackdown specifically divided into three phases , namely, self- phase provinces , departments, joint inspection phase, rectification work summary stage .

Jia Yinsong said after the completion of the inspection , the Ministry will implement a series of policies to achieve the fighting rule non-working normalization .

In addition, Jia Yinsong also said, " will be the special rectification action as an opportunity to encourage enterprises to increase investment in environmental protection , improve resource utilization and environmental protection standards. "The future will be rare earth enterprises through environmental verification and industry access conditions to get into the rare earth enterprises instruction program appraisal standards.

China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, Chen complete training provided data show that from January to August , China's major rare earth mining, smelting enterprises realized main business income of 45 billion yuan , down 14.9% , fixed assets investment 6.2 billion yuan , up increase of 19.2 percent , import and export trade of rare earth industry $ 1.4 billion , down 39.4% .

CHEN Quan training analysis, the main business income of rare earth industry , import and export trade declined , mainly due to falling prices of rare earth products at home and abroad impact , output and export volume does not shrink , and the export of rare earth metals and oxides also there was a substantial increase . However, the current development of rare earth industry quality and efficiency is not high.

Data show that from January to August this year , rare earth mining, smelting enterprises realized profits of only 3.2 billion yuan , down 62.1 percent . CHEN Quan Xun said that the current development of China's rare earth industry, the extensive mode of resource utilization efficiency is not high , separation, smelting serious excess capacity , high-end application development lags behind, severe ecological damage .

Earlier this year, the State Council issued nine key guidance on industry mergers and acquisitions , including the rare earth industry . Jia Yinsong introduction , the Ministry has proposed the formation of large rare earth industry group programs, and actively promote the formation of a large industrial group .

MIIT will be enterprises as the main assets as a link to promote mergers and acquisitions, relying on key rare earth mining companies focus on integration , separation smelting enterprises . The local integration process, in line with the principle of rectification clean , close observation of a number of batch transformation of a group to promote the separation of rare earth smelting enterprise transformation , resolve excess capacity .

Jia Yinsong revealed that this year in September , the Ministry of contracts implemented in 2013 the Ministry of Finance 's rare earth industry adjustment and upgrading of special project review , knowledge project plan has recently been issued .

Media reports that China is a strategic resource perspective to deal with the positioning problem of rare earth . September 2010 , the Japanese invasion of the Senkaku Islands authorities arrested ( Diaoyutai ) near Chinese fishing boat captain after the tense relations between the two countries . Chinese exports of rare earths almost stopped . Faced with this problem , Japan and other countries efforts to develop alternative technologies to reduce the use of rare earth . Under the new metal Association statistics , Japan's demand for rare earth in 2007 as high as 30 002 tonnes, was already reduced to approximately 10,004 tons. Compared to the peak 11 years ago , rare earth prices fell by nearly 10 percent more .

China in 2010 substantially reduced rare earth export quotas, export volume over the past two years, only the previous 40%. WTO on Chinese export controls make this unfavorable verdict. Media reports quoted Japanese Foreign Ministry sources, that " China 's strategic complete failure ."

Day suddenly exposed massive earth was actually a feint For bargain cheap to buy China Resources

Japan's massive reserves of rare earth mystery hidden in the art of war

Chinese Rare Earth Society Expert Group , deputy head Xu Guangyao open to the media said, after Japan's Torishima in the south found a large number of rare earth surrounding the issue , the majority element of speculation , it is intended to suppress the Chinese rare earth industry .

Xu leader indeed clever than some experts , not by the Japanese to blindfolded , but to suppress what is the meaning ? Is it just a bluff about Japan's rare earth market will be able to suppress the Chinese do ? Long accustomed to the small Japanese on the poor quality of the tricks glance , glance its intention in deep tactical mystery.

Not long ago , the Japanese suddenly like a shot of chicken , fresh waters around Bird Island, South exposed seabed sludge contains large amounts of high concentration of rare earth , rare earth concentration of up to 0.6% , and the rare taste beyond China 20 times, for use in Japan 230 years. News came out, shocked the world , Japan has become rare as if overnight upstart ! Japanese obscenity an unreal puffy sumo wrestlers , it really flew to China to lay a rare dominant stage it ?

Recently, some media reported that in the U.S., EU and Japan jointly sued China " undue restrictions on exports of rare earths " issue , WTO dispute mechanism summary of the " Interim Report of the United States and Europe generally considered reasonable demands ." Report and pointed out: " In late November will introduce the final report is not expected to overturn the judgment, United States and Europe may favor on this issue . "

If the United States and Europe on this issue in favor of the Chinese export quotas will have to make concessions on the issue , and thus the earth tariffs, quotas fully liberalized , rare earth prices is likely to return to this "cabbage price ." Insiders told the South are reporters said , the results with China 's rare earth industry is currently undergoing consolidation, as well as China 's resource strategy is contrary . Therefore, the Chinese government is bound to appeal on this issue , the game is likely to be the result of both sides to compromise .

United States and Europe to support the preliminary WTO

"The Middle East has oil , China has rare earths " , China was once rare to meet 90% of global market demand. Therefore, the Chinese government restrictions on the export of rare earth quotas , United States and Europe will naturally developed economies uneasy. Last June 27 , Japan, the U.S., the EU tripartite prosecution to the WTO dispute settlement body , said China's rare earth exists " undue restrictions on exports of rare earths " issue, contrary to the original Chinese WTO accession commitments. According to WTO accession agreement , China exported products should be abolished for all taxes , unless expressly provided . Annex lists 84 kinds of products specified rate . Wherein the rate of about 10% of rare earth . This should be the duty of the highest standards for collecting rare , but exceptions .

After more than a year of investigation proceedings , WTO upcoming processing results . Last weekend, Japan's " Sankei Shimbun" said , WTO Dispute Settlement Body 's interim report summarizes the general finds reasonable demands of United States and Europe . Plans to publish the final report of the year .

Prior to 2009 , the U.S. and the EU to the WTO , accusing China 's bauxite , coke, fluorspar , magnesium, manganese , silicon metal , silicon carbide, yellow phosphorus and zinc and other 9 kinds of raw materials to export quotas and export tariffs, price and a number of control . January 30, 2012 , WTO ruling : China implemented a variety of industrial raw materials export taxes and quotas violated WTO rules and dismissed the Chinese environmental protection or supply shortages based on the preliminary ruling request an appeal .

The rare earth trade disputes with previous years is exactly the same raw material trade dispute , therefore , widespread fear in the rare earth industry issues , WTO 's final results will remain unfavorable to China .

LREE or bear the brunt

If the final result of the WTO's final ruling , as expected , then the accelerating integration of China Rare Earth industry, will undoubtedly be a negative. And because the light rare earth reserves in the world are rich , they are likely to bear the brunt ushered in a wave of price cuts , and even back when the " cabbage price ."

China's rare earth export quota policy was adopted , rare earth prices briefly soared. But by the impact of weak demand side , since 2012 , and from the high rare earth prices fell sharply . Until this year, in July , because the Chinese rare earth industry consolidation efforts to further increase the price of rare earth before bottoming out , there signs of warming . If China loses in this litigation , China will likely open in the rare earth policy control , which means that the price war is likely to once again dominate the market. "heavy rare earths is China's advantage, and LREE are widely distributed in the world . Therefore, once the market liberalization , light rare earth prices are likely to be hit . " Saddle Ridge Information rare earth industry researcher Hu Bing told reporters the South .

However, there are people in the industry do not agree with this view . Jiangxi Ganzhou a large rare earth company General Manager's Office official told reporters the South, mainly in northern light rare earths , Baotou Steel Rare Earth almost form monopolies , the market order is relatively good ; heavy rare earths are mainly distributed in the south , a number of companies to form separatist trend, and there are a large number of small and medium enterprises . "If the South of rare earth industry consolidation ineffective , fragmented situation will make the price confusion , therefore , once the market liberalization variable heavy rare earth prices are likely to be greater. "

The game will continue

WTO preliminary ruling unfavorable to China , at the end of the final ruling is also likely with the preliminary similar. In this regard, China is naturally not sit idly by . Xiamen University, China Energy Economic Research Center Lin Boqiang told reporters the South , if the result is negative, the Chinese government and relevant industry organizations will certainly appeal .

According to WTO rules , WTO principle, requires the elimination of export restrictions, but provides for two exemptions : "To protect people , animal or plant life or health measures necessary " and " protection of exhaustible natural resources measures if such measures with restrictions on domestic production or consumption with the implementation . "

Since 2011 , the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry stressed on many occasions , after China 's rare earth mining is extensive , not only caused a great waste of rare earth resources , but also to the enormous destruction of environmental resources . Adopt quotas for rare earths , and make industry consolidation , the purpose is to protect resources and the environment and achieve sustainable development , in line with WTO rules . The Chinese government has no intention of trade-distorting way to protect domestic industries .

Lin Boqiang said the two sides of the game will certainly continue , but in the long run, certainly rare earth quotas will still continue to suffer criticism. Therefore , this event is expected to generate Forced mechanism , promote the domestic rare earth industry consolidation , the gradual formation of large rare earth group , and then let these industry giants to compete globally .

Recently, as the state purchasing and storage plan is still yet to be finalized , the industry began to lack of confidence , coupled with the end of the , loan repayment , electricity, switch to multiple factors such as storage , rare earth by last month 's reluctant to sell , to active sales , prices fell markedly , the current trading price of praseodymium neodymium metal of 430,000 from the week before , fell to 420,000 , europium oxide dropped from the current 4900 yuan 4600 yuan per kg per kg , the trading price of terbium oxide was 4300 yuan per kilogram , but the volume little downstream procurement will is not strong , especially foreign trade , there are responsible for the export trade of the sales staff said: At present foreign trade is very bad to do , we are mainly mutual pressure prices, customers go first to one and then say how much XX home to Are you going to give much ...... "

Faced with this situation , a large rare earth enterprises procurement staff, said: Currently the bad economic situation , it is difficult to rare immune constrained by the cost of production of rare earth , rare earth prices theoretically decrease in the not too large, so this case, market participants better state of mind . correct view of the market , do not be too pessimistic .

For the WTO's preliminary ruling , the industry reacted coolly , mostly expressed as early as expected , the world needs is not Chinese rare earth, but cheap Chinese rare earth, as long as the Chinese control the private mining , adhere to combat black chain , cheap Chinese rare earth will cease to exist .
