WTO and U.S., Japan and Europe have no right to China "carrot price" to sell rare!

In 1992, Deng Xiaoping mentioned Southern Talk "The Middle East has oil , China has rare earths " , unfortunately, is known as the "21st century strategic element" , the value of rare earth comparable to petroleum , but failed to bring to China corresponding wealth. For a long time , we have to " Biluo Bo , pork cheaper " price to the world supply of rare earths, with 36 percent of the world's rare earth reserves to meet the needs of 97% of the benefit of the world , but by themselves under enormous waste of resources and environmental costs . Today, the Chinese do not want to do it again losers , eating Western Diao mouth is not promised !

Chinese Rare Earth "cabbage price" become history :

According to British sources as saying that the World Trade Organization (WTO) has ruled that China 's rare earth export restrictions incompatible with the rules of the organization . And as early as the weekend , the Japanese also called , WTO Dispute Settlement Body 's interim report summarizes the general United States and Europe finds reasonable demands , and advised " Chinese rectify misconduct ." WTO is expected to be the final report issued in late November . If true, this would be the use of export quotas and tariffs on Chinese industrial policy as a tool for the practice of the second was " successfully challenged ."

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 as well as the number of control , in violation of China 's 2001 accession to the WTO commitments , resulting in other countries in the steel, aluminum and other chemical products production and exports at a disadvantage. 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 . This makes Europe and the United States , " jumping " , leaving the industry worried about China's rare earth policy , because in this area China also adopted a quota system .

Sure enough, the next June 27, 2012 , Japan, the U.S., the EU tripartite prosecuted to the WTO dispute settlement body , said China's rare earth exists " undue restrictions on exports of rare earths " issue, contrary to the original promises it made when China joined the WTO . As early as 2010, China has gradually reduced for several consecutive years rare earth export quotas to try to encourage the processing of these metals in the country completed . 2010 rare earth export quotas for the second half plummeted comes as a Chinese fishing boat in disputed waters collided with Japanese patrol boats , China was accused of an embargo on Japan , resulting in a rare earth supply shortage pushed up sharply the price. This also let the world know to China in the field of rare earths "rule" position.

"rare earth " is the 17 kinds of metal collectively. Rare earth is an important strategic resource in the 21st century , today's world, every six invention of new technologies , there is an inseparable rare earths. Rare are industrial " vitamin " said , because of its excellent optical and electromagnetic physical characteristics, can be composed of different properties with other materials , a wide variety of new material, its most notable feature is the substantial increase in the quality of other products and performance , are widely used in high-tech and military applications.

China is by far the world's biggest producer of rare earth reserves accounted for more than half the world's total reserves . For a long time , the lack of long-term strategic vision of development , the domestic rare earth enterprises disorderly vicious competition, lower prices , disorderly development intensified , internal causes huge waste of resources and ecological destruction , foreign dumping and rare is the loss of pricing power . Some analysts said that , at the current rate of development , another two or three decades , China will become a small country and even the non- rare earth rare earth countries. At the same time , over the years , the United States , Japan and other Western countries, purchased from China Rare Earth , except for the production , but also a large hoard in their warehouse, for future use.

Rare is the strategic importance of non-renewable resources to strengthen controls on the export of rare earth helps us to protect the environment, promote industrial restructuring, and promote the healthy development of rare earth industry . China is fully entitled to limit strategic resource or cause serious pollution so rare , energy-intensive exports. Export quota of rare earth mining and processing for the suppression caused environmental damage is also necessary.
