Rare but also clever management

Those who oppose the enemy , we will support ; whatever the enemy supports , we will oppose it.

In a recent rare public battle , we can easily see similar expressions . We see the British media said China Rare failure is a major victory for the West achieved , we see Japanese media said China 's strategy failed completely , we often thwarted by a great mood and annoyed , brain rising from strong nationalist sentiments , while lost calmly .

For example, we are that this is a conspiracy Europe and other Western countries to China , is China 's encirclement ; such as we are considered , WTO is a tool for Western countries to implement the strategic encirclement of China , to escape encirclement way is completely out of the WTO, self-reliance , their own play your own . Some people even suspect the existence of some degree of losing diving ingredients. These specious argument is not entirely without factual support , will become more confusing .

These include the fact that , the appellant is the rare case indeed in Europe and America , is the cause of their complaints preliminary WTO ruling against China . But the solution is not emotional nationalism, and should be replaced by self-examination , to find their own problems and shortcomings . Since joined the WTO, recognized its framework, we must learn to adapt to the rules and use the rules to resolve the crisis itself , rather than relying on the tragic sense of rendering nationalist sentiment , and then cover up the problem solving and accountability .

Logical source of tragic consciousness , our rare earths from the world's highest storage capacity of a sharp decline in the world's first relegated to third in the world ( the most common argument is that from 80% to 23% ) , a result like cabbage price Like cheap sale and disorderly exploitation , and when we realize that these restrictions ( quotas ) , the Western countries not to accept a trade war from open play . This time we failed even sit real judgment being bullied .

But tragic consciousness without contributing rare case in our favor . Reasons leading to this decision is made ​​WTO , China's rare earth export quotas imposed , this practice is a violation of WTO rules . Although the practice of WTO members , there are many restrictions and export quota system to take precedent , and even lack of certain commodities lock-up measures will be taken , but returned rare cases , these cases may not be able to as an example . It is also connected to a lot of Chinese trade experts hope for a successful appeal is not the reason.

Although the reason , we have taken the export quota system has a natural and reasonable : Environmental Protection . Needless to say, the past few decades, we have cheap disorderly exploitation on the environment caused great damage. But the quota system , it is difficult not to become WTO litigation handle, and this handle in recent years have not played a substantial role ( exports under quota ) , some have accordingly called on the opportunity right now to cancel the quota system . From the current reality, a quota system is not really a good idea , we want to take a more clever way to protect the environment .

Another feature of environmental protection for the purpose of the quota system is that it is from the export sector restrictions. We should also think about is why many countries have sufficient storage capacity , but only if we export in large quantity , and only we are forced to adopt export restrictions . Do not restrict mining countries only partly explain the reasons , I believe that a more fundamental reason is that they do not have a very strong urge to sell . Mining process in the past and we are cheap disorder , the destruction of the environment of unbridled process , with the big sale of the corresponding resource . Even today, still difficult to suppress local governments, businesses, and stealing by mining impulse.

This gives us an idea of ​​open - when we export restrictions , or implementing environmental protection objectives , from production processes limit rule more than the limit from the export sector to circumvent the WTO. While we put the rare earth as a national strategy , comprehensive measures from the mining areas to the export sector , but more practical to limit mining areas . From the quota system , in addition to losing the WTO , but also did not play a relevant role . For example, due to the primary products subject to quota restrictions , some countries began to take up plants in China in the guise of resource exports. To strengthen the management of production processes is particularly important .

Behind these measures should still be given full respect of the country 's rare earth strategy. In this rare big debate, another plausible idea that the reason we restrict exports of rare earths because the rapid decline in the proportion of storage capacity in the world , and if it turns out there is no accounting for the decline is not should not continue restrict exports of rare earths ? There is an article also said that China is not the shortage of rare earth reserves of light rare earths and heavy rare earths , are equivalent to the consumption of the world's end in 1000 , the rare earth has become a general resource ; there are many companies to inform the media , rare earth is not in short supply.

Since rare earths have been included in the national strategy , I do not intend to do more to explore the views . I think that , even if the argument is not shortage of establishment , is still just starting arguments with respect to the exploitation and use of capacity in terms of volume , that does not mean we ought to indulge wanton exploitation of cheap exports of rare earth , does not mean that we sell fine roughing machining realistic in relation to international trade buying continues , not the protection and use of strategically .

Strategic protection of rare earths , should continue. If the appeal fails , the quota system was canceled foregone conclusion . Although I believe that the abolition of the quota system is not the end of the world , should not be given too much fear, we still have a few months to take advantage of this grace period , re-adjust strategies to prevent the disorder occurs after the abolition of the quota system industry again and barbaric growth conditions . We must be soberly aware that losing face and blase smell and there are many .
