Rare is focused on environmental issues rather than the export quota

WTO ruling on Chinese exports of rare earth problem entirely the result of selective hearing those referees , officials , who only the interests of the advanced countries , while ignoring the reality of global development, did not see the irreparable damage to the environment caused by mining and backward at the same time they also did not see a reduction in the supply of rare earths can promote the development of modern industrial technology , thereby reducing the degree of harm to the environment destruction.

First, those officials should have never been to China's rare earth mining site , those behind the domestic mining technology and mining operations is definitely crazy enough to understand . According to the author 's face value , rare earth mining in many parts of the country have adopted the disastrous mining technology . To get petty , miners tend to be emptied whole mountain , leaving a barren. Meanwhile hazardous substances four diaspora , threatening people 's health. If you want to manage this environmental damage , not only requires a lot of money , but also take a long time , in fact, difficult to estimate the cost of governance . Therefore, China has adopted various measures to curb the exploitation of rare earth blind is absolutely necessary .

Secondly , they did not look at the status of technological development, China's export restrictions on rare earth actually brought a leap of industrial technology. Originally manufacture of high-tech equipment is almost inseparable from earth, from the law of industrial technology development perspective, this bottleneck problem to be solved sooner or later , while China 's export policies to speed up the process of solving this problem .

Due to rising prices of rare earths , Toyota , Mitsubishi Electric and other Japanese companies have developed more than a dozen completely without rare earth magnet motor , METI specially set aside 8 billion yen to support. Under economic pressure to produce such an effect developed quickly . Hitachi rare earth permanent magnets used equally effective successfully developed completely without rare earth motor. In this production process using Hitachi rapidly cooled and solidified amorphous alloy , not only won the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to the highest standards of energy efficiency, but also reduces costs. Enterprises to achieve such outcomes is more than a company of Hitachi , Showa Denko also successfully developed a rare-earth magnet alloy does not require material that can be widely used in IT and other high technology fields .

Moreover, Japan's rare earth recycling technology has also been a breakthrough. Japan's Honda Motor and heavy chemical industry to jointly develop recycling rare earths from used batteries of hybrid cars in the new technology in the world is also an innovation. With this technique, can be recovered from used batteries to more than 80% of rare earth materials . The Panasonic is also actively develop recycling technology of rare earth materials from the waste air conditioning .

The successful development of new technologies and put into use, issued by the Japanese media, China's rare earth lost an important customer and sorrow market news. But from here, but we can see that China 's restrictions on exports of rare earths is actually extremely important , on the one hand has been forced to reduce the effect of protecting the exploitation of the environment, on the other hand , such a policy is not only not harm the development of modern industry, and also contributed to the upgrading of related technologies. Very unfortunately, Europe and Japan as well as the effectiveness of WTO officials took these selective hearing , so where we do not have any chance of winning.

So , we do not need more articles in the export quota , in order to the national health , for the benefit of future generations , we need to increase efforts to protect the environment , exploitation of rare earth resources in higher demand , due to the exploitation and management should the cost of environmental damage caused by the added price of rare earths . As for automobile exhaust emission requirements more stringent and did not hinder the development of the automotive industry , industrial policy is strictly not hinder the healthy development of rare earth industry .
