Foreign media said the Chinese government announced the cancellation of rare earth export quotas. Since the beginning of 2010 the export control issues finally come to an end road. Chinese rare earth export restrictions during the Japanese companies to promote the development of alternative technologies to reduce the amount of rare earth, and therefore the elimination of export quotas of Chinese influence is limited.

Chinese Ministry of Commerce recently issued the "2015 list of goods export license management," clearly the export of rare earth export license management execution, only to get export business export license contract, without providing approval. This means that the implementation of the 16 years of the rare earth quota officially canceled.

The most immediate cause of this change, or China lost in the WTO (WTO) in the lawsuit.

China is the largest producer of rare earth, accounting for 90 percent of global supply. Although rare earths is an important component of the defense industry and the department of modern technology, for the military, computers, mobile phones, wind power equipment, batteries and other technology products are necessary, even though China has a natural "monopoly" advantage, but unfortunately, the advantages of the product to sell to the price of cabbage, and disorderly exploitation of serious damage to the environment.

To reduce resource depletion, since 1998, the implementation of a rare earth export quota license system, the rare earth materials included in the processing trade ban catalog, and in 2010 a large-scale reduction of rare earth exports. International RE prices soared along.

It also led to an international uproar of "rare earth war." Expression of the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries strong dissatisfaction that China's rare earth export control, the Chinese enterprises have a clear competitive advantage in hybrid car batteries, wind power settings and energy-efficient lighting equipment and other products.

Dispute eventually evolve into a lawsuit, the US, Europe and Japan jointly to the WTO against China rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum related products export management measures violate WTO rules. After several rounds of the fight, in August 2014, WTO final ruling, rare earth export management measures implemented in China does not comply with the relevant WTO rules and China's WTO commitments, China dismissed the appeal.

As a result, China must change related rare earth export management. Commerce Department said in a statement at the time, said: "China will carefully evaluate the WTO ruling, to comply with WTO rules and ways to strengthen the management of resources, products, and promote resource conservation, maintain fair competition, to achieve sustainable development."

Cancel started from 1998 rare earth export quota system, also in the market expected. Next, China will cancel the 25% -30% export tariff, this change is expected to be implemented in 2015 later.

From this case can be seen, although China since that system of quotas and restrictions on sale intended to protect the environment, but actually this rough management style, in violation of WTO rules, and therefore difficult to prevail on international litigation. This is the Western countries to initiate proceedings against China on many occasions and winning the main trade rules.

Of course, the "rare earth war" is not completely finished, but also China's move to retreat intentions. After all, the quota system in the early years of the larger impact on exports in recent years has been in name only, because many simply do not run out of quota. Data show that the rare earth export quota for the last three years are slightly higher than 30,000 tons, but in 2012 the actual exports less than 20,000 tons, in 2013 and 2014 can not exceed 300 million tons.

But, if the mere removal of rare earths export controls, a corollary to bring the rare earth export market turmoil, including Chinese exporters increased, lower prices may again rise behavior, the final result is the environment suffer, undervalued resource, foreign manufacturers benefit.

Therefore, while complying with WTO rulings revoke the relevant export controls, China must improve the rare earth and other resource management system products.

First, you must comply with the rules of the market and international trade rules, do not have to make hard and fast rules on exports to avoid giving others a handle and trigger a new lawsuit is likely to lose. Frankly, at the time of the management system has not been serious sober legal assessment, of course, for China to win a certain amount of time, but the overall effect is poor.

Secondly, to strengthen domestic regulation. RE market has been chaotic, disorderly exploitation of many manufacturers, serious damage to the environment, smuggling is repeated. According to incomplete statistics, in 2011 overseas Chinese customs statistics are rare import export statistics 1.2 times, that is 120% of the normal amount of smuggled exports, the government can increase the threshold for mining companies, mining of rare earth resources integration, including the promotion of rare earths corporate mergers and acquisitions, while cracking down on smuggling and violations of the environment.

Once again, change the export tax as a resource tax. Export taxes for immediate action to restrict exports, but can easily be criticized. The elimination of export taxes, the result is lower export prices, but it is to create the conditions to improve resource tax, the state still seize the initiative on the export of rare earth, rare earth due to the price of cabbage that does not make a great resource cheaper foreign manufacturers.

Of course, the domestic manufacturers in terms of the use of rare earth, rare earth and outside the price approximately equal to improve their use of rare earth costs, thereby reducing the competitive advantage. But the market is equal to follow the competition, Chinese manufacturers can not always rely on the bottle, can be innovation by tapping the potential to create new competitive advantages.

Commerce Department recently released "2015 list of goods export license management", on which the rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum and other goods elimination of export quota license management, which means that government restrictions on exports of rare earths has been liberalized. The introduction of the news, exports to China rare earth industry is a blessing or a curse, so many people elusive.

"The Middle East has oil, China has rare earths." Unfortunately, yield and price of the entire Middle East oil, led by Saudi Arabia's oil-exporting countries (OPEC) control, said price increases on prices, said the price is the price, the price of oil from lower in the second half of last year, more than $ 100 to less than $ 50 in early 2015 is proof. Moreover, China's rare earth it? Like oil as an important strategic resource countries, China's position and did not speak, but control of the price falls in the hands of Japan and the US and other countries, China has accounted for 90 percent of global rare earth supply, almost to the "cabbage price" supply these users, but they also seem to pick and choose, that the East West Road, which makes us indignant people. Beginning in 2010, the state began to tighten export of rare earth, rare earth export quota management implementation, so that the last year export scale 4-80000 tons reduction of about 30,000 tons. Control of the supply of rare earths, was the United States, European Union, Japan reported to the WTO, China lost the arbitration result lost the lawsuit.

Today, whether it is because the WTO lost, or that the recent sales slump rare earths, China consciously open market, no matter what the reason, but the result is liberalized. But after the release supply, China's rare earth exports are soaring or showed little reaction, the price is to enhance or still in the doldrums, indeed debatable.

In the past because of ignorance and self-interest, of some companies and individuals to these precious destructive mining of rare earth resources, China's export of high-quality low-end rare earth products, leaving descendants are harming the environment. In the rare earth mines, many damaged beyond recognition mountain, almost impossible to recover and become a torn Earth scars. It was also calculated that an account, a lot of places if you want to restore the environment to pre-mining environmental levels of rare earth, rare earth put money in selling flowers in, it simply is not enough.

According to statistics, every 1 ton south separating ion adsorption type rare earth ore, need to consume 8 to 10 tons of hydrochloric acid, 6 to 8 tons of liquid caustic soda or 1 to 1.2 tons of liquid ammonia and so on. Not only ion adsorption type rare earth ore, refining separation Bastnaesite etc., but also use a lot of sulfuric acid or caustic. A lot of acid and alkali-containing fluorinated ammonia nitrogen waste, waste gas or waste water, most will not conduct arising after the effective extraction of rare earth recycling, the influx of the natural environment. In a sense, the pollution caused by rare earth production, poisonous after nuclear leak. This is not alarmist, the real facts around us. This was exactly what the main cause of the country to tighten exports of rare earths.

Now let go of rare earth export countries, with a view of China release does not mean China will relax control of rare earth supply, I also agree with this view. Earth as an important strategic resource, especially with the military and high-tech related, must look tight job. Although the current market downturn is very rare, but "industrial MSG" role can not be replaced. In recent years, in order to oppose China's export quota restrictions, the United States and Japan and other countries to find a substitute for preaching or find a new large rare earth mine in other places, with psychological warfare shake our determination and confidence, but its greedy ambitions was people look very thoroughly.

Country liberalized exports of rare earths, the surface is a victory for the WTO rules, but also to China to learn and grasp the opportunity to make use of WTO rules to safeguard their rights. I remember in order to find the resources of many companies to go abroad, the country is also the world's resources of Australia, Canada and other countries to invest in mining, but in the future, "the mining hot" boom receded, Chinese overseas mining investment eighty percent failure, painful lesson.

At present serious environmental damage and environmental pollution, so that our government has realized this problem of serious harm, so we learned to "learning technology to the barbarians," we let go of the export of rare earth resources, but mine certainly set strict environmental conditions, environment-friendly enterprise standards and tax adjustment lever China's rare earth production. This not only makes our control scale production of rare earth, but also to control the pricing of products and the right to speak, which is the development of China's rare earth strategy is undoubtedly an invaluable "gospel."

It is reported that during the WTO proceedings on our government really has not been idle, moves quickly, the good news again and again. Consider the long-term development of the industry, the Ministry of Industry at the end of the completion of the rare earth group formed six countries, and continue to promote the industry consolidation, consisting of strong foreign fist. Arguably, if China's rare earth industry consolidation on the basis of this, so as soon as industrial upgrading, to shift from exports of high-tech products export of primary products to enhance the added value of China's rare earth products, it really is worthy of our happy and proud thing.

But to hear the "good news" wonderful, but also to see the "Misfortune" soon. Since release of these rare private mining profits are concerned means "good news", they undermine and disrupt the market on the environment, to the normal development of the rare earth industry to bring the scourge, for everything from environmental considerations eradicate private dug Luancai and smuggling of rare earth "black chain", is one thing you must do.

Otherwise, their "open eyes closed eyes" of leniency, the country would be a "catastrophe."
