Rare WTO ruling - That's not fair

Rational person is not necessarily the winner. This paradox appears again in international trade disputes. WTO trade dispute before it made ​​a rare earth is not conducive to China 's ruling, the strong Chinese public reaction from the official to the people thought that China was being unfairly treated.

Although the WTO decision is called " established rules " , but this does not say that the decision is reasonable.

RE both resources, but also commodities , and the main purpose is rare in high-tech industries , high-tech goods also . To the United States and Europe as the representative of the Western countries have long restricted high-tech exports to China , has not been considered a violation of WTO rules .

Even more puzzling is that some of the world's most closely with the export control system of the western countries , can justifiably " name names " for China to restrict exports of precision machine tools, electronics parts and other high-tech products , while China out reversing the disorderly exploitation of rare catastrophic damage to the environment , and the introduction of no control measures against any country in violation of the rules was convicted .

Western countries are reasons for high-tech products that could be used for military purposes , but it is the rare earths are used extensively for high-end military equipment.

Anyway still does not make sense . The only explanation is the " rule of discrimination " and " double standards ."

WTO as a norm of international trade organizations , should uphold the principles of justice . Although the recent ruling was made ​​by the rules , but the rules have limitations , but also need to reform the times , especially after China's accession to the WTO so that developing countries , many of the rules established by the developed countries in itself is not fair.

To say the least , rare earths are not really "rare ", but also non-Chinese exclusive . The mid- 1960s to the late 1980s , proved reserves after China and the CIS countries the United States once dominated the world's rare earth supply .

Later , considering the huge resource and environmental costs , the United States gradually closed its mines in favor of imports from China . Some other Western countries to follow suit.

In fact , China 's rare earth reserves account for only 23% of the world, but the long-term global demand for rare earths supply more than 90% . Rather than Chinese monopoly on rare earth supply , as it was " silly very naive" be someone pushed the "hegemony " status.

Consideration for China to pay is enormous - old green Bitian become vast sandy mountains , barren farmland , water pollution , waste slag piles up the mountain .

For those who have become accustomed to cheap Chinese rare earth enjoy Western countries, they can not see them , because only in this way , the above picture will not appear in their own country .

Since the Chinese rare earth mining consolidation , since smelting industry , environmental governance has achieved success , but still away from the ideal state far worse , still needs time and space to completely reverse the trend of environmental degradation .

WTO experts should go to China and see , compare China due to environmental disaster caused by rare earth mining rare earth minerals and the United States above the picturesque landscape vegetation , giving China an unfair ruling.
