Foreign resources to support Japan's rare earth imports or loose

Indian Prime Minister Modi during the recent visit to Japan for the Japanese enterprises to mine rare earth minerals in India gave the green light. Exploitation of India to resolve 15 percent of Japan's rare earth rare earth needs. Now nearly 90 percent of the rare earths, Japan needs to import from China. Keith Tanuo Fu stressed by China's rare earth export restrictions bitter fight to get rare earths in Japanese wherever possible.

He said: & ldquo; Japan had suffered in China. 2010 due to the East China Sea incident China stopped exports to Japan of rare earth. It is playing in Japan & lsquo; chest nest & rsquo ;. Japan will soon start in the world & mdash; & mdash; Africa, Latin America and Asia to look for other sources of rare earths. Also deep seabed looking for. Now again tentacles in India and Malaysia. & rdquo;

If the success of the project in Malaysia, to 2018 in Japan than China can ensure that 60 percent of rare earth sources. But cooperation with Malaysia accompanied by high risk, often broke environmental pollution scandal, for example, Malaysia Green who oppose Australian company, funded by Japan Lenas rare earth production plant in Malaysia. Due to serious pollution problems, Malaysia in 1992 closed the Japanese-funded rare earth processing plant. After 15 consecutive years in Japan for compensation for environmental pollution.

It is worth noting that China reducing rare earth mining, reduce export quotas, but also because of pollution problems. But the WTO does not recognize China this argument. This spring the WTO accusing China of raw materials in violation of trade rules. Japan jointly with the United States and the European Union had sued the Chinese. China promised to give the corresponding conclusions, but have had no reports of rare earth export quota increase. Keith Tanuo Fu believes that the Japanese expressed concern.

He said: & ldquo; course, Japan must therefore give yourself the insurance. Regardless of how the WTO decision making, when the situation is serious, it was too late. High-tech industry needs rare earths. However, the future trend is difficult to predict how the Japan-China relations. It is constantly being intensified stage. If held in November during the APEC summit in Beijing, the organization can succeed Shinzo Abe and Xi Jinping meeting, which will ease the Sino-Japanese relations to some extent. I have no doubt that the meeting will be held. Chinese people do not refuse to meet in Japan. China does not want to hold the APEC summit for the first time, let it accompany scandal. However, there may be only two leaders met mere formality. & rdquo;

In order to reduce dependence on China, Japan, the state-owned oil and gas company metallic minerals (JOGMEC) invested $ 700 million in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan rare earth exploration. But Chinese companies have operations in these countries. Visible, Japan in foreign markets also suffered China's rare earth strong influence.
