It is understood that the "current production of rare earth industry in China can fully surplus on foreign exploration and development of rare earth mine and continue to achieve results under external attack , the situation of China's rare earth companies is very optimistic. "President Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute Yang Zhanfeng not without concern said.

China Rare Earth Measured Resource once accounted for nearly 90 % of the world 's rare earth industry has developed rapidly , fame . Today, on the middle reaches of China 's rare earth industry , such as the separation of rare earth smelting production areas , alloys , etc. can have serious excess capacity, while at the international level , the United Kingdom , Russia and other major developers have announced the news of rare earth projects , which will allow domestic rare earth companies feel the pressure.

China 's rare earth industry insiders , such as secretary-general of Ma Rongzhang said that at present China rare earth separation smelting enterprises have more than 110 , with an annual capacity of about 300,000 tons , but in 2012 China 's rare earth separation smelting legitimate product yield only 8.2 million tons, nearly years of annual global consumption of rare earth is only about 12 million tons. So accounting down , consolidated operating rate of separation of rare earth smelting enterprises in China is less than 30%.

" stimulated by economic interests , over the past few years, Chinese production of rare earth alloys rapidly expanding , has shown a general overcapacity situation. " Xiamen Tungsten Co., Ltd. President Zhuang Zhigang said.

Although rare on the middle reaches of the enterprise serious excess production capacity , currently China 's rare earth industry around new projects and industrial parks are still large numbers.

" In 2000, the annual output of China NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet materials can only 0.8 million tons, just ten years time , the production capacity will increase 30 times , however , expansion, new projects are still emerging. " Beijing Channel Consulting Co. analyst Chi Wu Chen -hui said.

Since 2010, many parts of China 's rare earth industry in the construction and planning of the park , the National has about 18 rare earth industrial parks, these parks and many more resources for the core extends downstream industries , involving rare earth smelting and separation of rare earth alloy materials production and processing , planning similar , low-level redundant construction of a serious problem .

Although the domestic rare earth industry capacity has been saturated , but affected by the international market factors such as rising prices of rare earth , the United States , Australia, Russia , India, Brazil , Thailand and other countries in recent years have started to recover or start the development of rare earth resources. As these projects come on stream , China 's rare earth industry is facing greater pressure on the operation .

For this internal and external pressures , some industry insiders believe that is not all bad . Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths , said: " Supply pattern changed in favor of Chinese rare earth mine life extension , conducive to the sustainable use of China's rare earth resources . Over the past 20 years, the world's rare earth supply is heavily dependent on China , leading to excessive consumption of China's rare earth resources , illegal exploitation , destruction of the ecological environment issues outstanding. "

Is aware of the crisis and challenges of China 's rare earth industry , has now increased merger and consolidation efforts, initially to build from the Baotou Steel Rare Earth Group , Aluminum Group , Minmetals Group, a group set of resource extraction, smelting and separation, processing applications , R & D as one of the rare earth enterprises.

In the formation of large rare earth group speed , while China will be through environmental review , environmental restoration , resource tax reform and improve industry access policies , mandatory plan to optimize production management , improve relevant laws and regulations and other measures to increase the production capacity of rare earth behind out of efforts to further promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure of rare earth .

"Developing the future direction of China 's rare earth industry , the production of high value-added products must be to improve the comprehensive utilization of resources , improve product competitiveness , so as to maintain the advantage. " Marong Zhang said.

The industry believes that the global supply of rare earth diversified pattern is taking shape , China 's share would decline, but the future of China's rare earth dominance in the international market is difficult to shake . Currently RE development projects implemented abroad, mainly the production of light rare earth products , and therefore the future of light rare earth product market competition will become increasingly intense, but China will remain dominant in the supply of heavy rare earth products .

U.S. media said that China represents the current seek to cut exports of rare earths , which is the first in the country in the past two years, aims to cut rare earth exports.

U.S. website on December 13 reported that , despite intensified competition rare earth mining , resulting in China 's proportion of global production continues to shrink , but the world's supply of 17 kinds of minerals have about eighty percent are still in the hands of China . Beijing has been controlled by the supply of export quotas , although China 's rare earth exports due to weaker demand in the past two years did not reach the level of the quota .

Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on the 13th , 2014 the first batch of rare earth export quota of 15,110 tons , a decrease of 2.5 % compared with the first batch of rare earth export quotas last year . Basically, the first half of the quota next year to determine the annual trend , since about half of the first full year quota general quota . The Chinese government announced the second batch of rare earth quotas usually around July .

Report pointed out that if China announced the second batch of quotas in 2014 is consistent with the trend of the past , then the country's rare earth export quota will be the first decline since 2012 . Since 2005 , China has gradually cut rare earth export quotas , this situation reversed to appear until 2012 .

According to reports, China 's rare earth export quota for 2010 will be reduced by 40% , this results in the consumption of rare earth metals and related industries in developed economies panic . Rare earth metals used in the manufacture including missile defense systems and smart phones , including a series of important scientific and technological products.

According to Chinese customs data show that China first ten months of rare earth exports accounted for only 57% of the annual quota . Last year, Chinese exporters have used only 52% of the Commerce Department quotas.

December 13 , 2014 the Ministry of Commerce issued the first batch of rare earth export quotas, LREE total of 15,110 tons , a slight decrease of 2.5% compared with 2013 . The total of 27 enterprises to obtain export quotas.

However , insiders believe that due to the recent downturn in the rare earth downstream demand , the export volume has been far below the actual export quotas , export quotas reduced real meaning has little importance is gradually reduced.

According to industry practice, the Commerce Department released a year usually two batches of rare earth export quotas, the first batch of quotas typically accounts for about half of the annual quota .

December 13 , the Ministry of Commerce to disclose on its website the first rare earth export quota for 2014 , which is 13,314 tons of light rare earths , heavy rare earth 1,796 tons , totaling 15,110 tons . Industry insiders estimate that next year the total export quota of 30,200 tons .

The Commerce Department said the first batch of 2014 export quotas for the main reference for each enterprise output from 2011 to 2013 in October , export volume , export value calculation. Data show that in 2013 the first batch of rare earth export quota of 15,449 tons , including 13,561 tons of light rare earths , heavy rare earth 1,938 tons , shows that 2014 rare earth export quota decreased slightly by 2.5%.

Export quota is not particularly meaningful

For the Chinese export restrictions practice , WTO against China in October to limit exports of rare earths in the proceedings, made ​​a ruling against China , China needs to rare tariff adjustments and the elimination of export quotas , the market is expected verdict by the end of the introduction . But the WTO has not yet announced the official final results .

The above ruling came after the news , the Chinese Ministry of Commerce policy analyst , said Mei Xinyu , China is likely to appeal. "In my opinion , China is fully entitled to limit or strategic resources such rare cause serious pollution , the export of energy -intensive products . "

"Some stakeholders said that we lost basically a foregone conclusion , the state could then approach by responding to rare earth export quota policy to defer for a year , " the industry source said, " There is a need for continuity of national policy , not because losing to immediately cancel , also need to give companies a transition period , the earliest will be canceled in 2015 . "

However, industry analysts said , in fact , due to the recent downturn in the domestic market of rare earth , rare earth export quota management approach has gradually lost its meaning , because the number is much lower than the actual export export quotas.

According to customs data , exports in the first ten months of this year, the rare earth only about 57% of annual export quotas this year . 2012 China 's rare earth export volume accounted for only 52% of the Commerce Department issued a rare earth export quotas .

" A few years ago the total exports are about 50% of export quotas wandering , often used up the quota this year, exports to Japan, Europe has been the recovery , may account for about 70%. " the analyst said , and is expected , if the final WTO ruling down, China canceled export quotas , while the downstream market has improved, it will be possible to promote increased consumption of rare earths , prompting prices to pull up . And if the rare earth downstream market continues to decline , there may be companies competing vicious competition , continued low prices of rare earth situation .
