Rare contest: China need to fight fair rules

Recently, a bad news hit the morale of the people : the WTO Expert Group published a report on "The U.S. , EU, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related case" , preliminary results suggest that Chinese implementation of rare earth products such as export taxes and export quotas violate the provisions of the WTO framework .

This "trouble" expected.

Of course , there is an opportunity to appeal the Chinese : " After three or four months , will usher in a rare case of second instance , that the final ruling .

But the reality perspective, the likelihood of a successful appeal is unlikely. The case of an expert group members consisting of state-dominated Europe and America ; secondly, export taxes and export quotas of rare earth products such policies were issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce and Management , is a government act, trade practices between countries , just go WTO tube .

If the rare case eventually lost , will bring huge negative effect China : raw materials had a dispute case , WTO has ruled China canceled nine kinds of raw materials export quotas , Europe and other countries will take this as the entry point to China strategic resource management systems to form a comprehensive export shock .

For the rare case that many Chinese people feel very unjust . Over the years, China has accounted for only less than 30% of total global reserves of rare earth reserve supply more than 90% of production to the world . Cheapest time , China 's rare earth oxide sold only 15,000 yuan / ton, the cost of raw materials mined only enough , but the high prices on the international market, this number of times. We can say that in Europe and America enjoy a few decades China's cheap rare earths , China because of the exploitation of rare earth causing enormous environmental pollution. This is the price irreversible , China realized the seriousness of the problem, start self-protection , restrict exports of rare earths , the United States and Europe but after another to say "no ."

WTO favors , so Chinese people once again feel deeply dangerous and unfair rules of the game in today's world . In fact , no denying that China has been a victim of the current world political and economic rules of the game .

Commerce Department data show that in 2013 a total of 19 countries and regions of China launched a trade remedy investigations , a total of 92 onwards, an increase of 17.9 % over 2012 .

"This is a major victory for the U.S. , EU and Japan made ​​" the British " Financial Times" summed up , WTO ruling was welcomed by trade officials of the United States , Japan and Europe .

Western countries undisguised joy , their hearts are like a mirror , " no country can hoard of rare earth from global markets, and to allow other WTO members to pay . "The United States Trade Representative Frohman actually willing to speak so Delightful : ' ruling means that U.S. manufacturing companies and workers will be able to compete fair ." European countries enjoying the joy of Chinese people frustrated .

Cheers people in Europe , the Chinese people once again feel the pride and arrogance of Western countries : they live or die regardless of others , just to get their needs met.

China's development in the use of immaturity and lack of Western and Japanese might be able to win the rare case of the WTO dispute , but European and American people happy , or too quickly .

Chinese old saying that the soldiers to be blocked , the water to soil cover . The rapid development of increasingly powerful China can not always be subject to a series of cases of people unfairly imposed unfair rules of the game , such as the case of rare earths , will stimulate and strengthen China and other developing countries to further seek to change the current unfair rules of the World determination. Even rare case settled, China can not fight, Gan Xinshou manipulated , " is exploring the establishment of normative systems consistent with WTO rules to protect rare earth and other strategic resources , such as taking the total mining limits, or a way to manage the resource tax export of resource products . "

Always be a way to cope . We believe that the United States and Europe eventually " lift a rock , smashing his own feet" of the day. United States and Europe in the face of oppression , China will be a positive response, and to develop counter-measures , such as the use of WTO rules, such as U.S. crude oil or natural gas exports proceedings.

All in all, China to protect their own interests, and the United States and Europe contest , perhaps only just begun.
