Beijing rare earth hoarding , the western countries wrath . However, this problem has solved itself . Deutsche Welle columnist Zelin that there is no insight came only WTO .

If Russia's natural gas supply restrictions , Africa and the oil-exporting countries were reduced output of diamonds and oil , it first had it. Furious over the world , prices rise, but true. But rare is another matter. Especially since this stuff from China . Just recently the World Trade Organization ruled that China must not reduce exports of rare earths .

Go complain to the WTO is obvious the U.S., EU and Japan. Because Western countries fear Yeah. This is related to the supply of raw materials. Advanced industrial countries produce displays, wind power equipment and high-tech products such as electric vehicles must be used when rare .

The relevant provisions of the WTO have been mined raw materials must be supplied to the international market . When setting prices according to supply and demand may be. This also will be able to guarantee the status of the industrial countries of large customers . But at the same time also raised the WTO should implement sustainable exploitation of resources . This naturally also with the Chinese side 's intention : to protect the environment less mining. But Chinese people took advantage of this reason can not be accounted for in the WTO lawsuit . Chinese people faced with the WTO ruling , said the case must appeal immediately .

The industrial sector more metal can be recycled from the old machine inside
through new processing procedures
People feel Paradoxically, the quarrel had deviated from the origin of things . Initially a few years ago when a sudden decrease in the supply of rare earths , the West and China began quarreling . But now the problem of rare earth supply has actually been resolved. Industrialized countries spent some time looking for alternatives to rare earths , and they found it. More metal can be recycled from the old machine in the adoption of new processing procedures. Industry has learned in the production process to reduce the use of rare earth consumption .

Suddenly became rare earth supply glut , prices have fallen . Now the price dropped compared with three years ago : decrease in the value of different rare earth metals contained as high as 70% to 95%. Westerners then filled with anger now appears to be somewhat overreacting .

Rare earth is not , but the metal element. Although called rare earths , is not rare. According to estimates , currently available global rare earth reserves of about 285 years . The reserves of existing resources is sustainable over 3400 years . In the eyes of Westerners only one problem : most of the rare earths are mined in China , which formed the Chinese monopoly on rare earths supply market , rare earth is called " China metal" may be more appropriate.

WTO ruling is actually the result of a large bureaucracy act , and this reality can not be changed. However, this may make the Western countries in the political own goal . If you continue to make a similar WTO ruling , the WTO 's trust in Beijing will decline. And this distrust exists among many emerging countries . India and the WTO dispute on the issue of agricultural subsidies , protective tariffs levied Brazil dissatisfaction on detained hat.

Like the rare earth issues, the people on the issue of international trade arbitration agencies also talk in the market principles of supply and demand . Due to these arbitration institutions ' demand ' to rise in emerging countries to establish rule out altogether the western countries ' own institutions . "

In several continents across the world , while the forthcoming FTA formation , but also generate some new institutions, such as banks deal with the World Bank, the BRIC countries and the emergence of the process of being built . These organizations have their own rules of the game , do not listen to the West.

Rare WTO dispute against China triggered a chain reaction. Recently, the State Reserve Bureau has signed with six rare earth rare earth group purchasing and storage agreements , purchasing and storage of rare earth is expected to heat up again . Yesterday , the market prices of warming, the rare earth sector collective surge.

South Exchange Trading Center for Rare Wu Haiming analysis for Southern Reporter says : WTO losing or detonate the rare earth industry market deregulation , the future is expected with rare gold and silver , as with property investment goods . "

After a continuous decline in the fourth quarter of 2013 , rare earth prices are close to the level of the bottom of the mid- 2013 period. Expected future prices of rare earth stable and rising . The listed company has mining rights Baotou Steel Rare Earth , Xiamen Tungsten , etc. the first to benefit . "

RE quota system is facing cancellation

Analysts Teng Vietnam Southern Reporter yesterday analysts said : the national reserve of rare earth is only short-term stimulus . Rare earth prices and long-term trend, the market will depend on supply and demand . Currently the macroeconomic impact of the domestic demand for rare earth is not very strong.

But she noted , WTO dispute against China's rare earth policy or Forced acceleration. WTO ruling on China 's rare earth export restrictions imposed in violation of WTO rules, to support the claims of the United States , European Union and Japan . "We believe that rare case continued against China has announced a two-year , rare earth quota system will face cancellation of the outcome, when a +5 Rare Earth Group consolidation underway at this time point, or accelerate the introduction of new government policies . "

Shi Yi, an analyst pointed out in its research report : WTO to eliminate tariffs faced losing quota Forced parties to implement industrial policies to support prices pick up as soon as possible . 6 square Minmetals Rare Earth Rare Earth Group , Baotou Steel Rare Earth , China Aluminum Group , Xiamen Tungsten , Ganzhou Rare Earth and Rare Earth Group Guangdong direct benefit.

"I have to Ganzhou Rare Earth Industry survey , and local leaders exchange. At the time that the government should not attempt to control the market price of rare earth. To introduce private capital into the rare earth industry , market -oriented operation. The WT O dispute will certainly lose . " Shenzhen well-known venture capital for Southern reporter who said, " The government now only need to grab the source of good, concerned about environmental protection , requires companies to repair damage to the mountain , the price of rare earth naturally going up . "

South Exchange Trading Center for Rare Wu Haiming yesterday Southern Reporter analysis pointed out that the main application of rare earth permanent magnet , optical conductivity and catalytic three aspects , Japan has many patents in the relevant field , is a big country of rare earth application . The field of application of rare earth in China is underdeveloped , limited demand . Therefore, Japanese companies tend to give China a rare order, one after the two sides bargain deal. " For a long time , China 's rare earth although rare metals property, but sold only a dirt price. Many strict customs inspection , in accordance with other general merchandise exported. "

He pointed out : the WTO against China rare earth industry faces market deregulation . Through market behavior , China rare earth prices can be controlled , it steadily. "There are not rare in the world pricing system . The original bargaining system , but with the establishment of China 's rare earth trading platform , the final say will be gradually shifted from the buyer , the seller have the final say in the transition to the stage of the Chinese pricing system . "

Rare Earth will become investment goods , good listed companies

According to Wu Haiming introduction , if not the trading platform , China rare earth kind annually sell about 30 billion amount , and in the rare electronic trading platform , if there are 20 times the turnover per year can produce 600 billion electronic trading volume space. This will make the investment of private capital into the rare earth in the past , the real value of the rare earth reflected . " As a result, the trading platform has become the norm of rare earth oxides , securitization, electronic, circulation of goods monetization , or will become the gold, silver, after yet another international investments. Gradually evolved from pure rare earth products into industrial investment goods . Because the threshold is very low, greatly mobilized the participation of private capital reserve, so that prices are no longer decided by Japanese buyers. End- market instruments to promote rare earth prices rose steadily , which owns mining exploration rights 1 + 5 Rare Earth Group , a direct long-term positive . "

The more the analyst Teng of Southern Reporter analysis, electronic trading rare indeed increased financial investment properties of rare earth. But in the long term, or to raise the level of Chinese enterprises in the downstream application of rare earth , rare earth demand is expanding its .

Recently, according to informed Beijing Food and Drug Administration , "southern " Iron Goddess of Mercy , four kinds of food sampling failure , where " southern" Iron Goddess of Mercy traced REE exceeding three times , with immediate effect to stop the sale . When a rare occurrence associated with tea , tea RE always worry about whether the public health effects of excess . Each sampling on the rare earth content of tea , the tea will be China 's unique " rare earths limits " push "cusp " aroused public concern .

May 5, 2014 , by the national food safety risk assessment center organization held in Beijing , " China Rare Earth Elements in dietary exposure assessment embodiment seminar" on the issue of rare earth on the status of tea again attention and discussion . The seminar, national food safety risk assessment center Academician Chen Junshi , Peking University, Academician Wang Kui participants , various experts from the CDC , medicine, agriculture and the tea fields of nearly 30 participants.

At the meeting, the Vice President Tea House Yang Xiufang invited to make the status quo rare tea , tea extraction rate of the causes and results of special reports for non- tea tea experts fully understand the current situation of rare earth in order to further promote the scientific and rational tea rare national standards .

Rare , also known as rare earth elements, is the periodic table Ⅲ B family atomic number from 15 kinds of lanthanides 57-71 , and its electronic structure and chemical properties similar scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y), a total of 17 kinds of chemical collectively known elements. Usually lanthanum, cerium , praseodymium , neodymium, promethium , samarium, europium , gadolinium called light rare earth elements ; terbium , dysprosium, holmium , erbium, thulium, ytterbium , lutetium, scandium called heavy rare earth elements . Our country is the country 's most abundant rare earth resources , rare earth is mainly used for high-tech industrial, defense, medical , etc., but also to promote the use of appropriate concentrations of rare earth elements for plants to absorb nutrients , conversion and utilization. As the mining of rare earth , rare earth elements as fertilizer, feed additives , and the widespread use of rare earth elements are widely used in medicine , environmental pollution increasing REE , easily lead to enrichment of the food chain , and then enter the body.

China's rare earth standards for a limited amount of tea , from the national mandatory standards in 2005 the Ministry of Health promulgated the " contaminants in foods ," the standard for tea made ​​of rare earth oxide content limit requirement that limits tea corn ( 2368,1.00,0.04 % ) , rice same should be less than 2.0 mg / kg. June 2013 GB2762-2012 formally implemented , it is prudent for the disposal of rare limited edition issue , after deliberation , they will not cancel the current standard in rare limited targets . It is understood that , at present , the United States , European Union, Japan, the tea set standards were not rare limited targets . Since then, the country appeared excessive mature leaves and old leaves serious phenomenon as raw material made ​​of tea, Chashi was jittery .

Present different sectors of China's rare earth industry standard views . Many tea industry experts and even the State Department , the attitude of the tea RE standards are unclear . Rare tea products due to excessive levels affected the tea export volume . In the industry, tea tea prices have been plagued by rare earths limits .

Public concern is unique to our country is the lack of current testing standards of rare earth science, RE excessive drinking tea , there is what kind of impact on health. The authorities are currently unable to determine whether excessive harmful rare . Only Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy Research issued a document " Trace REE efficacy and health effects ," said: studies have shown that long-term low -dose REE if ingested , can accumulate in the liver , causing liver morphology and pathological changes in liver cell damage liver metabolic disorder caused by fatty liver ; while higher doses of 2mg still rare cause of agricultural development in the liver cells and red blood cell DNA damage through the placental barrier .

In 2012, Chinese Academy of Engineering , the famous tea experts Chen Zongmao Zhu Wen said China's rare earth standard was unreasonable that this standard does not fully investigated based on plants, especially rare earth content in the background did not grasp the value of tea . From now mastered the content of tea in tea can be seen there is such a high standard to prove that this ratio exceeds the standard is set too low , at normal levels of tea . Secondly , the standard promulgated by the rare earth colorimetric determination is recommended , but this method is not mature , the measurement results do not reflect the normal concentration levels . Chen Zongmao believe that such a standard could not perform in production. If implemented, China's tea industry will put the brink of collapse .

April 4, 2014 , Chen Zongmao academicians participated in 2014 in Anxi tea quality and safety training general meeting revealed that tea rare limited release since the implementation of the standard , has been the industry's concern that the current standard is being re-evaluated rare , is expected to change by the end .

On Rare Earth standards, the researchers said Yang Xiufang tea Dean said: rare earth content in different conditions and new dynamics of rare teas showed little tea in the growth process will be enriched in rare earth elements , rare earth content of tea on the high part of the high maturity ; different levels of rare earth content of tea brewing tests showed that by brewing tea into an extremely small amount of rare earth content , the proposed risk assessment relax tea rare limited edition .

A rare tea our unique national standard , the tea industry for many tea companies are currently too harsh , so merchants exception worried. This standard was used as a basis for prohibiting the export of tea , have seriously affected the export of Chinese tea . Tea industry sectors should be actively called for promoting tea rare risk assessment as soon as possible to develop a more scientific and reasonable limits rare earth , both to protect the health of consumers , but also with the healthy development of tea industry needs .
