China should justly defended Wei Rare interests

Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang in Beijing revealed on April 17 , the respondent 's case on China's rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum -related export control measures , the Chinese side on April 17 to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body of WTO proposed cross- appeal , the relevant department has every effort appeals .

Looking back , WTO announced the United States , European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , ruled that China 's rare earth export management measures violations. April 8 , the United States v. Chinese rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case to the WTO dispute settlement mechanism to appeal.

Standing in the position of Europe and America , of course, hope to open the door to sell our rare earth resources, and sell the more expensive the better. But not at the expense of international trade based on the interests of the party , and when our behavior "contrary " to their wishes when they quit.

We must see a basic fact , Europe and other Western countries while China's export restrictions counterclaim , while it openly on national strategic resource envelope without mining . Statistics show there are experts , there are over 20 countries in the field of energy resources have taken various measures to restrict exports . After a state such as Canada take on timber exports , " domestic needs test " , that is, only in the country, the state sell timber to meet the internal demand will consider exports.

The siege of Chinese rare earths , Europe and Japan is very obvious intent behind , the impact of the country's resources in order to protect the system. Europe and America, often with the skill to play with the rules , even those who are fair rules are often able to successfully twisted , but in accordance with the WTO rules to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests of the original intention of developing countries labeled as "illegal " hat. Face of foreign products on our resources , " proactive " , China's reserves should also be actively " counter-measures ."

In other words , China should justly defended Wei Rare interests. No one can guarantee that a lawsuit lose or win, compared to the results of China, as a responsible trading nation and the Member States involved in the process itself is meaningful , both a right to defend their attitudes , but also to clarify the rules of the multilateral dispute settlement mechanism responsibility of the key issues .

Although the Appellate Body is only the fact that the trial law without trial , the larger the degree of difficulty , but still have to fight for basic rights through action . This is a strong country in Europe and America are difficult, but they have forgotten a basic truth: trade must be mutually beneficial , beneficial to the other side of things , but serious damage , or fail to reach an agreement , or even if agreement was reached , but also do not down.

China's environmental pressure has been great, because for many years to make a major exporter of rare earths , paid a huge price high energy consumption, high pollution. Domestic rare earth resources are not abundant , sale of rare earth will eventually threaten domestic use . Unsustainability all this country has awakened to strengthen the corresponding rare earth export management measures is imperative.
