For China rare earth industry, which is still to come .

World Trade Organization (WTO) has announced the United States, European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report and the preliminary ruling Chinese violations, which affect the geometry of the rare earth industry ? China how to better protect and exploit the country's rare earth resources in the context of international trade rules to adapt ?

China may still appeal

"We deeply regret the WTO ruling above . " China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General陈占恒to " Science China Daily " reporters said they would report the WTO ruling specific study to assess the impact of the ruling Chinese rare earth industry and enterprises .

The ruling is based on the assessment of the panel report , but not the end result , there are 60 days time to appeal.

陈占恒said: "We have done a lot of work for the prosecution of United States and Europe , but the verdict very regrettable. Expert report has just come out of more than 270 pages, we need to be read carefully . Which conflict with WTO rules are based on the Environmental Protection provenance can exist on export restrictions , we need in-depth study of the policies and rules of the WTO . "

"' rare cases ' the typical case , a lot of problems in our country can reflect on resources, production , technology, patents, worth considering. 20 years, 23% of China 's rare earth reserves to meet the needs of more than 90 percent of global rare earths , because excessive reliance on Chinese rare earths abroad , will naturally produce demanding. " Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths to " said Science China Daily " reporters .

"We also noticed that WTO Panel approved a comprehensive resource and environmental protection measures in China for rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum related products taken . Export management measures taken by China to strengthen resources and environmental protection is part of a series of important measures . It must be emphasized that protect rare , especially valuable heavy rare earth , is important to maintain global sustainable development efforts , in line with the WTO aims to promote coordination on resources, environment and human development. " Zhang Anwen said , " In the future we have to pay a high price to govern , and therefore confidently made ​​it clear that we pay to foreign countries and contributions . "

In Zhang Anwen view, the use of Chinese rare earth rare earth consumers to obtain a high comparative effectiveness , but to the Chinese legacy of environmental pollution and ecological destruction.

"While under international trade rules , the possibility of our turnaround is unlikely, but we must show that our attitude. " Wuhan University engineering professor at the pool Ru'an to " Science China Daily " frankly , China should be audible to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests as possible.

Rare price risk geometry

Regardless of the appeal or not, China 's rare earth quota system was abolished , it seems that sooner or later. On the surface, China's rare earth export quotas in recent years is much higher than the market demand, it seems not too great.

"No matter how , we need to prevent the rare earth prices are too low , as this will affect the development of the Chinese rare earth industry . ( After the abolition of the quota system ) may reduce the risk of price and foreign manufacturers will push our prices , if the price of our own re- mastered , it might go wrong. So we have to seize this opportunity to step up research on new measures. " Zhang Anwen said so.

He further analysis , leaving a buffer of Appeals for the country , China needs to pay close attention to the introduction of management practices, industries and enterprises to strengthen self-discipline . "We are a major exporter of the resource class , once the oversupply , others will be abused , to have good internal coordination mechanisms. Sometimes in the past we sell rare or even below cost price , plus pollution control , ecological restoration cost is worth the candle . "

陈占恒think , from the market perspective, the abolition of the quota system may be beneficial to encourage enterprises to explore the international market , but will also increase the difficulty of managing resources development .

Rare is the only way to power

For the future development of rare earth industry , experts say , to deal with losing rare case , China is only from " rare big country " into a " rare power" in order to have a real voice. Only in the rare earth industry chain competitive in the international arena have influence , will not be controlled by others .

Pool Ru'an think that if we violate WTO rules final determination , the rule is the rule , we can propose changes to the rules unreasonable , but ruled that we can not simply change to China . Therefore , China should take advantage of the light rare earth mineral processing, mining, smelting and other aspects of the play cost and resource advantages. As for the heavy rare earth , countries can further strengthen the management , export restrictions . " From the species , there are many countries in the world have a light rare earth , we really want to protect the southern region of the heavy rare earths . "

However, from a long-term considerations, Zhang Anwen is proposed that China should increase investment in the future of rare earth technology development, investment in basic research , the establishment of mechanisms for research gold with collaborative innovation platform , the development of rare earth industry as soon as possible . "At present, China in rare earth raw materials are better developed , but in the application of components, parts , machine and other rare earth materials is still rather weak . Abroad can be counter this , ' you do not give me that I can not give you the rare earth components .' Therefore , China should do the manufacturing country , instead of assembling a big country . "

Pool Ru'an also agrees: " China should take this opportunity to develop application of rare earth industry , striving to become a major manufacturer of rare device , so valuable rare earth resources are effective and rational use . At the same time , we must intensify rare corporate environmental oversight . "
