Do not lift a "rare earth" itself in the foot

Rare concern WTO litigation finally conclusion, China lost the case . The unsuccessful outcome is Chinese rare earth quotas cancellation policy , open the supply of rare earths , the government can not constrain the export business behavior . The so-called meat eaters are rustic , not far to seek .

China exports a lot of rare earth , but no international rare earth market pricing ; domestic rare earth industry persistent over-exploitation, environmental destruction, excessive exports and low utilization of chaos ...... so many, it is the development of China 's rare earth industry for 30 years " scourge ."

In order to reverse the passive situation facing the rare earth industry , the Chinese government in recent years gradually began to scale rare earth mining , production and export volume for the overall planning and restrictions. However, I did not expect the United States , European Union, Japan, quit, bring to the WTO against China rare earth export restrictions of trade litigation .

Today losing a foregone conclusion , rather feebly complaint Europe , America, Japan sinister than complaining, from the reality , looking for their own short board , a positive response . Do not lift a "rare earth " on their own feet .

The face of the earth intensifying dispute , China should regain the initiative , gain back their due rights , safeguard their own interests. In the long run , the fundamental problem lies in the development and implementation of a set of sustainable development and utilization of rare earth resources strategy , which focuses on three areas :

First, strengthen the management of rare earth resource exploitation . For long-standing problem of over-exploitation and pollution , of rare earth resources management is the first link in the protection of exploitation . Rare earth mine in the existing State shall give full consideration to the actual needs and the capacity of the environment on the basis of selectively mined , sealed mine as part of strategic reserves of rare earth resources and to achieve the dual purpose of protection of local environment . In recent years, relevant departments in this regard has already made ​​a good start and a successful practice .

Second, accelerate the pace of rare earth industry consolidation , strengthen industry supervision, do not let the earth "cabbage price" tragedies . One can not ignore the background , the current domestic rare earth separation smelting capacity has been severely surplus. Currently the South ionic rare earth separation of smelting capacity has exceeded 100,000 tons , and as the boss of southern Jiangxi Rare Earth 2013 production targets for the first batch of 3,950 tons . Southern separation ion ore smelting enterprises to obtain more than 70% of unknown origin . According to statistics, China's annual production capacity of rare earth practical 150,000 to 180,000 tons , while the actual global annual demand of 13 million tons, China 's demand of about 100,000 tons .

Therefore, the Chinese rare earth industry can withstand the removal of export restrictions "waves " impact , not only export policy can hold depends on the Road "gate" , is more important is to see whether this build a strong self-regulation road " levee ."

Third, the establishment of high-tech proprietary rare earth industry chain . This is to change the current situation of China's rare earth passive key application areas . Only increase in the rare earth resource base and applied fields of investment and research , focusing on technological innovation and product innovation, improve the level of the secondary development of China's rare earth , in order to fundamentally reverse the country on the one hand by selling a small amount of foreign exchange resources in exchange outweigh the other but in terms of high-end rare earth products and heavily dependent on imports of the kinds of adverse situation. Eventually establish a set of rare earth resources in the domestic mining, primary development, secondary development , recycling virtuous circle complete industrial chain , true to form their own rare earth industry chain .

Sober face , in order, it will not lift a "rare earth " on their own feet .
