Japan said the Chinese Rare Earth grabbed the soft underbelly, some industry confusion

In the interests of drivers , the United States , Canada, Australia and other countries to develop rare earth set off a craze . Japanese companies are also accelerating the diversification of procurement channels . Sojitz company began in the fall of 2013, imports of rare earths from Australia. Toyota Tsusho Corporation also plans 2014 production of rare earth in India. But the quality is unsatisfactory, the current data analysis showed that China 's rare earth best quality.

Reported that through their own efforts to overcome the crisis in Japan seems to behave more and more powerful.

However , Extraordinary Professor Institute of Industrial Science , University of Tokyo Toru Okabe said: " When Japanese companies grabbed the soft underbelly of China sourcing rare condition is still not changed. In particular, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and other military enterprises executives have complained about it , let alone consider expanding the scale of production is affected . "

Reported that the misunderstanding lies in the "rare earth " is a general term . Although called "rare earth " Overall, it subdivided it can be divided into light rare earths and heavy rare earths , the former can be extensively mined in the world to which the stock rarely , is a veritable " rare earths " , two add up to a total of 17 kinds of persons .

After the collision , the Japanese instead of Chinese from all over the world to find procurement channels mainly light rare-earth . Heavy rare earth rare earth remains the same is known almost entirely dependent on China .

Reported that representatives of heavy rare-earth is " dysprosium ." High-performance magnets mounted on hybrid and electric vehicles , in order to high temperature, it can not be separated , " Di ." By upgrading technology , although you can reduce the amount of vehicle , but with the popularity of electric cars , the total will be difficult to reduce .

If Chinese exports interrupted for some reason , then, Japan does not ensure a steady supply .

Reported that the light rare-earth there are certain risks. Glass grinding need to use " cerium " because China banned exports after the collision , " cerium " Japan has popularized the alternative polishing method , the usage is also significantly reduced.

However, the lighter rare earth mining out of the mixture, about half of the " cerium ." If miners produced according to the most " cerium " sales while reducing production plan, then a mine produced from the same raw materials , high-performance magnet " neodymium " liquidity optical lens materials " La " will be reduced .

Government source said: " As the saying goes , a good pain is forgotten . Dependent on China 's sense of crisis has been weak. Abe would like to take the opportunity to visit the Yasukuni Shrine again sounded the alarm . "

Reported that Japanese high-tech companies, including a strong military industry hopes to balance the needs for rare earths , Sino-Japanese relations must be stabilized as soon as possible .
