April 17 , China World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling to the organization identified the Chinese rare earth export management measures violations appeal. Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang said China will make every effort to appeal to work , regardless of the outcome of the appeal , Chinese protection of resources , environmental policy objectives will not change . For a long time , a lot of countries to protect local resources and the environment , adopt strategies for rare earth mining without closure , while China has only about three percent of the world's rare earth supply over 90% of the global market . China 's dedication did not give proper thanks to the harvest , but because of restrictions on the export of initiatives to protect the environment by some countries at the WTO report .

Long-term low-cost supply of rare earth

Rare earth resources is a key material in many major weapons systems , its most notable feature is the substantial increase in the quality and the performance of other products , known industry " gold" . According to reports, the rich United States, Europe and other Western countries of rare earth resources, but had to stop mining in favor of a large purchase from China . Japan 's total imports of rare earth only 1 / 3 for the production , and the rest is used as a strategic reserve.

Mining and other countries cherish different sellers, while China has a large number of low-cost supply of rare earths to the world . Data from the Ministry of Industry show that China 's rare earth reserves account for 36 percent of the global supply of it accounted for more than 95 percent worldwide. Disorderly exploitation of long-term , China's environment has been severely damaged , mined forest becomes generally sandy , barren farmland , water pollution , waste slag piles up the mountain . In recent years , the government began to strengthen management , the introduction of the export quota policy .

China 's rare earth export restrictions foreign policy upset a lot of cheap Chinese rare earth enjoy a good day , causing them strong dissatisfaction.

According to reports, as early as March 13, 2012 , the United States , the European Union and Japan to resort to WTO dispute settlement mechanism on China's export restrictions on rare earths , tungsten and molybdenum , March 26 this year , the WTO panel report preliminary ruled that the export control measures Chinese products involved violations. April 8 , the United States further in relation to rare cases appealed.

Unjust double standard

Ignoring the status quo of China resource depletion, environmental destruction , and some Western countries only consider themselves completely easy to use rare earths , this "convenience " includes not only the number of abundant, there are cheap.

Chinese exports of rare earth was cheaper to just 18 yuan per kilogram , while the international market prices as high as $ 1,000 / kg. After the implementation of the quota system , China 's rare earth export volumes and prices are no longer fit the original buyer's appetite.

In fact, export restrictions did not affect the use of the international market demand for rare earth . Statistics show that in 2011 China's rare earth export quotas only took 52.01 percent in 2012 was only 48.75% , while in 2013 the total export quota of 24,000 tons of rare earth , rare earth export quota for the year's actual physical product was only 22,900 tons , did not complete the quota . Experts pointed out that Western countries against China not because buy rare , mainly Xiangui , like low-cost access to resources . However , more exploitation of rare earth resources , the less certainly sell more expensive.

On the rare earths , the Chinese pay much more affected have wronged . Some Western countries have turned a deaf ear to blindly request. Experts point out that , WTO extremely strict export controls on certain countries turn a blind eye , but then China to protect the environment , not against any country and the introduction of control measures sentenced violations. This award is equivalent to force China to abandon export restrictions means opting for a higher cost , less efficient otherwise protect their own resources and the environment.

Protection of the environment continue to defend

Unfavorable ruling, China did not flinch , choose to continue to defend in order to protect their homes. In accordance with WTO rules , the panel report released in 60 days , the parties may appeal .

Shen Danyang , the current case is in the trial stage of the Appellate Body , the Chinese side will make every effort to appeals . No matter how the outcome of the appeal , China to protect resources , environmental policy objectives will not change , it will continue to comply with the WTO rules on ways to strengthen the management of resource products , maintain fair competition.

The industry believes that the panel report is questionable. Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of International Law director Liu Jingdong International Economic analysis , one on export taxes , the Chinese government can take advantage of GATT ( GATT ) Article 20 ( general exception provisions on environmental protection ) to defend . The second is about the Chinese government export restrictions. "Some specific points sweeping , and did not accept China's defense. Not because the Chinese side effect appeared less than expected results in the implementation of the measures , the measures would negate itself . It is also unfair to. " Liu Jingdong said.

China continues to appeal even more important is to limit exports of rare earths , China's environmental protection , but also to protect the world's environment . Meanwhile, the preservation of China's resources , but also for the benefit of the world . Experts point out that if we continue like before , as the uncontrolled exploitation of rare earth , mined some varieties may only enough for 20 years. 20 years later, the depletion of some species of humanity will be a huge damage.

Preliminary report said that China , including 17 kinds of rare earth materials, such as tungsten and molybdenum export restrictions imposed three . Difference is that on the rare earth export tariffs on raw materials in many forms , and for a certain time period exports imposed quotas, as well as to specific restrictions on the export of these raw materials enterprise rights .

It is reported that the rare earth industry is known as " gold" , widely used in metallurgy , military and other fields.

Statistics show that the total 2013 export quota of 24,000 tons of rare earth (equivalent to the physical volume of 31,000 tons ) , but the actual annual export quota of rare earth products in kind was only 22,900 tons , the quota has not been completed .

In fact , as early as 2009 , the EU proposed to ask the Chinese to lift export quotas of rare metal products ; 2010 , the United States , Mexico and other countries ED WTO submit a memorandum demanding that the Chinese rare earth export quota system canceled ; 2012 , the United States EU official in WTO proceedings against China's rare earth export quota system .

Deputy Director of the Ministry of Commerce and Law Yang Guohua , said late last month on the case , in accordance with the provisions of the Expert Group after receiving the report , there is a right of appeal within 60 days, the Appellate Body will make a ruling within three months , & ldquo ; currently studying the legal analysis made ​​by the expert group to decide whether to appeal .

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 .

Notably , the WTO members to respect the sovereignty of natural resources , accreditation resources , environmental policy objectives , this has been reflected in the report of the Expert Group were .

Steady growth of foreign trade policy being studied

Previously foreign trade data released by the General Administration of Customs of both imports and exports declined for appearance , there are rumors that decision-makers are brewing steady growth measures , measures or will be "steady exports," as a breakthrough, which may sometimes include appropriate to adjust some prohibition and catalog products processing trade restrictions . In this regard, said Shen Danyang , Ministry of Commerce is on a steady growth in foreign trade policy measures related research and studies .

He stressed that the processing trade is an important part of China's foreign trade, expanding employment, upgrading its industries , promote economic development has played an important role. Currently, the processing trade in accordance with the "negative list " to implement category management , regularly publish processing trade ban and restricted category .

Shen Danyang said that in order to further improve the processing trade goods category management , and promote the healthy and stable development of processing trade , and promote the transformation and upgrading , the Commerce Department recently was on the directory adjustment solicit relevant local , sectoral and industry business advice , on this basis, but also in-depth evaluation by specialists , researchers make relevant adjustment programs. At present , the work is still in progress .

After the WTO ruling against rare case , the United States , Japan and other Western countries seems to be a lot cheaper to get our country 's rare earth resources without any responsibility for the environmental damage . For this reason, we do not have to worry , in order to protect our environment and resources, we can take the "restrict " strategy , so that their dreams dashed.

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 .

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 .

Until the 1980s , the United States has been the world's rare earth big country , with its output accounting for over 50% of global production . But rare is not only a very important strategic resource , is also non-renewable resources , therefore, the United States will soon adjust the strategy and started to protect rare earth resources, essentially stopped its domestic mining. In fact , Western countries do this to protect their own resources are also many examples of these resources to develop our strategic protection measures are a good reference .

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 .

Electronic products so valuable presence of iridium head to achieve better recovery .

"When a small amount of rare earth is just a part of a complex mixture , separating the individual may be too expensive , there are many electronic products are more valuable elements such as gold, palladium , iridium, which can make recycling more cost-effective. "Rare Earth will be able to pay part of the cost of treatment , and the gold , platinum, palladium can be used as cash flow, " The key to recycling rare earths Institute for Materials Research Program , the Idaho National Laboratory says Eric Peterson < br />
Meanwhile rare earth recycling technology challenges are enormous , Graedel said , this is not the main problem. "I think it 's fair to say the recovery and recycling of rare earth and other things to do , like , the biggest challenge lies in how these products are collected , " he said. "It's more of a community , perhaps the challenge is not a challenge to the management of technology. "

Under price pressure , at least for now , some laws require recovery, but it is actually no incentive for recycling. In 2011 , only less than 1% of the rare earths are recovered back. People tend to hoard or throw away old cell phones and cars , when people drive in from the windshield to the rear-view mirror these devices are included in the motor , there may be no more than two dozen rare earth recycling back. In some developing countries , many electronic products could end up in unsafe or inefficient way removed. Even fluorescent light bulbs , the law provides for the recycling of its mercury lamp , but the recovery rate is only about 30% -35%
Many experts say that the existing recycling facilities makes fluorescent rare earth recycling is a good target , using rare earth elements to produce fluorescent colors : red and green phosphor europium and terbium rare earth elements inside . Recyclers to collect mercury glass lamp and metal parts, but they are usually dumped off the lamp containing rare white phosphor , some companies are currently recycling these .

LED lighting is more efficient , but the way the current recovery is not very clear , LED lights now in the popular stage , a large number of fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps can be used for several decades, Peterson said , so the LED is still very good recovery targets . LED lights use much less rare than the use of rare earth fluorescent lamps , which makes them more than the recovery of rare earth trichromatic fluorescent harder . "I do not yet believe , from the light-emitting diodes can be very effective recovery of rare earths economy," Ames Laboratory Alex King said.

Another promising to improve the recovery of rare earths , is used in a concentration of industry in the field rather than the hands of consumers , the use of wind turbines in the rare earth permanent magnet motor , such as neodymium and dysprosium to stronger magnetic force , the offshore wind power equipment maintenance difficulties, so companies tend to install the most reliable equipment , which this device may contain hundreds of kilograms of rare earth elements. They contain a large amount of rare earth, but they are concentrated in the almost stationary wind farm , which makes the recovery of rare earths in wind turbines become very viable , " This is a good opportunity , which makes the rare earths have a happy first Second life , "Graedel said.

Despite the challenges , some companies are working to carry out the recovery of rare earth . Rhodia has announced a number of rare earth recycling projects . Mitsubishi Motors reported that in 2012 , it recovered and reused from the air conditioner recycling of rare earth permanent magnets , Hitachi announced the development of recycling rare earth magnet recycling machine from the hard drive and air conditioning , and tried the technology into commercial operation . Honda also announced last year that it had started recovering rare earth elements from hybrid car batteries .

The design for the recovery

Experts have pointed out , containing rare earth products recovered before production on the roadmap for the design, will contribute to a better recovery .

If electronic products easily disassembled components will be easier to recycle .

One way is separated at an early stage , if the volume of the magnet is small , as long as they crush all magnetic materials, powder only maintain : " iron " , you'll lose them.
In this country, we do not know how the system by recycling and good things, and we must learn how to do it .

Kim said that the product can be designed to be easily disassembled , for example, his team is trying to reclaim from the phone 's screen phosphors inside . But you can ask the manufacturer to design a mobile phone screen before the phone was crushed can be removed to .

Another possibility is to use the device to recover rare earths , we are working with several electronics manufacturers to communicate , to make them understand how to design a circuit board from the elements cerium component easy to pick out , Peterson said, " one kind approach is based on the circuit board in different layers, each with different materials and to make the height of the order that they may be scraped off with , "or a rare earth metal content to the design simulation for reuse , said Peterson .

Of course , these assumptions are based on a large enough product to be recovered , such as wind turbines , and its life is generally 20-30 years, which means that they have no way for a long time for recovery .


In a recent study , the Dutch Green Academy Gemayel Rademaker and colleagues calculated that the rare earth magnets assuming your computer's hard drive , hybrid cars and wind turbines can be 100% recycled , the amount can be recovered back only accounted for from now to 2015 at 10% to 15% of the demand, but by 2020 this proportion would have been a downward trend, although demand has been growing, but only the computer hard disk drive can be used for recycling.

However, with the car and the wind turbine reaches its life, in 2030 , the number of theoretical recycled back to meet the needs of more than 20% . "In the long run, it may have some impact," Rademaker said.

Wait until the economic, legislative and needs to keep up with the time, the idea of ​​saving the metal, in the future , the only trapped on the device.

"Some people say we should landfill, and wait for better technology, " Rademaker said. "It was the idea of ​​urban mining , if any space, but not dangerous, can be landfilled , to keep the metal until we know how who get the time.

With the continuous development of the recovery strategy and the growing demand for rare earths , believes the arrival of this moment is not too far away !
