China's rare earth industry is facing "external attack" Challenge

" At present, the production of rare earth industry to fully surplus , and foreign rare earth mine in the exploration and development and new achievements . ' external attack ' below , the situation of China's rare earth enterprises is very optimistic . "President Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute杨占峰not without concern said.

It is understood that the amount of China's rare earth resources proved once accounted for nearly 90 % of the world 's rare earth industry has developed rapidly , fame . Today, the production in the upper reaches of China's rare earth industry , such as the separation of rare earth smelting, alloy materials, and other areas 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 enterprises flu preparation pressure.

Secretary-General of China Rare Earth Industry Association马荣璋other industry sources, the current separation of rare earth 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 in recent years global annual consumption of rare earth is only about 12 million tons. So accounting down , comprehensive utilization rate of China's rare earth separation smelting enterprises less than 30 %.

" stimulated by economic interests , over the past few years , China's production of rare earth alloys expanded rapidly , showing a general overcapacity situation. " Zhuang Zhigang said.

Although rare in the upstream business serious excess production capacity , but all over the rare earth industry in our new projects and industrial parks are still large numbers.

" In 2000, the annual output of NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet materials can only 0.8 million tons, in just 10 years, the production capacity will grow by 30 times , but the expansion, the new project is 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 , across the country about 18 rare earth industrial park. 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 and 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 will face even greater pressure on the operation .

For this external pressure , insiders believe that not a bad thing . Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths , said: " Supply pattern changed in favor of China's rare earth mine life extension , in favor of sustainable use of 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. "

In the formation of large rare earth group speed , while China will by environmental verification , 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 .

"In the future , the development direction of China's rare earth industry is the production of high value-added products must raise the level of resource utilization , improve product competitiveness , so as to maintain the advantage. " Marong Zhang said.

The industry believes that the global supply of rare earth diversified pattern has formed , our share would decline, but the future of China's rare earth dominance in the international market will be difficult to shake. Currently, foreign rare earth development projects mainly produce light rare earth products, so the light rare earth products in the future market competition will become increasingly intense, but China will dominate the production of heavy rare earth supply .

Adjust and optimize the national strategy of rare earth Thoughts and Suggestions

Rare is known as the "industrial MSG ," even as the " 21st century gold" , "mother of the new material" , has an important economic value and strategic value. Rare excellent with rich light, electricity, magnetism , superconductivity , catalytic properties, are widely used in advanced technology areas ( such as new energy , defense and military ) , is a strategic non-renewable resources . Almost everywhere in the application of rare earth elements , which have broad and important applications in all aspects of energy, information, environmental protection , health, agriculture and defense , involving all aspects of modern life. In particular, their optical , magnetic properties have been widely used in today's new materials, new technology, currently containing rare earth functional materials has reached more than 50 categories, therefore , was hailed as a rare treasure trove of new century high-tech and functional materials It can be said rare earth has become a modern high-tech industry and an important international competition strategic resources . Rare , especially in foreign countries is important for the military , which is greatly improved tactical performance leap for the manufacture of tanks, planes, missiles, steel, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys , rare earth science and technology to bring about a qualitative military technology . If Patriot "missiles able to easily destroy " Scud "missiles , is due to the" Patriot " guidance system used in about 4 kg of samarium cobalt magnets and NdFeB magnets for the missiles, the United States no not all the modern stealth fighter using new materials containing rare earths . Also learned that Toyota and GM will launch an electric motor car using rare earth elements in the next year . With the understanding of the special nature of the rare earth elements and found that every 3 to 5 years , you will find a new use of rare earth.

Data shows that in today's world every 5 invention patents will have a relevant and rare earths . As countries seek to reduce fossil fuel use in the coming decades , the rare earth market is destined to grow geometrically rendered . Important strategic position of rare earth resources in the international competition in high-tech industries based status quo of China's rare earth resources development , in particular made ​​the following observations and recommendations on the adjustment of China's rare earth resources in the national strategy to upgrade.

A defect status and rare earth resources of national strategies

The status quo of China's rare earth resources, there have been some chaos , rare earth resources in the national strategy to face a lot of confusion in the process of socio-economic development , the government's decision in a dilemma .

1, the status quo of China 's rare earth resources protection

China 's rare earth reserves was 71.1% of the world, but in 2012 the State Council Information Office published " China 's rare earth conditions and policies ," White Paper , China's rare earth reserves account for about 23% of the world's total reserves. Among just three decades of reform and opening up , our country has been betrayed 48.10% rare earth reserves , at current production rates , China 's medium and heavy rare earth reserves only class for 15 to 20 years , there may need to be imported . The strategy for the protection of rare earth resources and the resource advantages into economic advantages , for many years the Chinese government has implemented a series of rare earth resources, control measures , and achieved certain results at the same time , there are still many problems.

2 , the presence of rare earth resources in the national strategic issues

Country had to account for 71.1 per cent of the world's rare earths proud , while only 23% down to the current reserves , we should feel tremendous guilt and deep remorse , " Why did not we Chinese people to protect and make good fathers to stay wealth and resources ? " Every one of our government and the Chinese people should be traced to recognize their deficiencies , changing strategic thinking and decision making. My analysis for the following reasons :

( 1 ) people 's awareness of rare earth resources, weak. October 2010 , U.S. energy policy analyst Mark Humphrey Adams entitled to submit to Congress . " Rare earth elements : the global supply chain ," the report lists the relevant statistics in 2009 , in which China 's rare earth reserves 36,000,000 tons, accounting for 36% of world output 120,000 tons , accounting for 97% of the world ; Russian reserves of 19 million tons , accounting for 19% of the world ; U.S. reserves of 13 million tons , accounting for 13% of the world ; Australia's reserves of 5.4 million tons , accounting for 5 % of the world ; India's reserves of 310 million tons, accounting for 3% of the world production of 2,700 tons , accounting for 2% of the world . In addition to China , the country 's rare earth production are above zero, zero mining in the state . China 30 percent of global reserves , supply more than 95% of global demand , known as " cabbage price of gold sold ." Due to the low price of Chinese rare earth , from the 1985 United States willing to shut down its rare earth mine , all imported from China ; Japan imports a lot of Chinese rare earth hoarding. Tracing the source of these problems is the Chinese people for too little attention to the importance of rare earth , rare earth resources in a more conscious awareness weak ; Also, nowadays people in front of a small collective interests or the pursuit of economic interests above the national interest or the long-term interests .

( 2 ) rare earth resources vicious competition the consequences . China 's exports of rare earths in the world, rare earth separating enterprises across the country reached more than 30 million tons of production capacity , and market demand only between 120,000 to 150,000 tons , of which about 30,000 international market demand to 5 million tons, domestic demand around 70,000 ~ 80,000 tons , as a demonstration of China's rare earth more serious overcapacity . From 1990 to 2005 , Chinese exports of rare earths grew nearly 10 times , but the average price has dropped to half in 1990 when . The main reason is management control , in 1998 China Rare Earth strict implementation of the quota system in 2006 , China has implemented the total rare earth mining control and management. In 2008, the state issued the "National Mineral Resources" , the market for rare earths play a role in curbing the chaos , but the situation has not changed fundamentally , the relevant data show that the annual export and smuggling of rare earth disguised about 20,000 to 30,000 tons .

Not only that , with a substantial increase significantly the quality and performance of other rare earth products, but was a " cabbage price" exported to foreign countries, according to industry sources , domestic and foreign prices of rare earth metals are worlds apart , the above table neodymium offer price 440-450 yuan / kg, while imported metal neodymium is more than 20 million / kg, equivalent to 200 yuan / gram , which contains only 10% of the tariff , that is 180 yuan / gram its international market price, equivalent to the domestic price of 409-400 times , a large disparity in the difference , so people whom surprised ! National resources so betrayed deplorable ! Therefore, the market and the mining of rare earth appeared chaos , which is quite unfavorable national strategic interests , the Chinese government must be remediation.

New issues ( 3 ) under the quota system . The Chinese government today on a certain understanding of rare earth resources , the implementation of a rare earth export quota management . Commerce Department in 2013 has released two batches of rare earth export quotas , which is 27,384 tons of light rare earths , heavy rare earth 3,617 tons , two batches totaling 31,001 tons . Such a move on the domestic rare earth exports to curb chaos played a certain role , but the emergence of new problems. Although exports of rare earth materials is strictly limited , but the purchase of raw materials in China rare earth primary products are not subject to quota restrictions , so some companies in developed countries began large-scale investment in China 's rare earth resources area factories . At present , companies in developed countries the United States , Germany, Japan , etc., have invested in China 's rare earth industry , has owned , 38 joint ventures , investment amounting to 6.1 billion yuan , they only simple processing of rare earth resources in primary products will be shipped abroad processing or reserves , so China's rare earth resources gravitropism changed beyond quota exports. Foreign investment in the country through this drill a factory law loopholes and other ways , the success of the escape of rare earth export quotas be predatory exploitation of rare earth resources , this phenomenon has seriously affected the normal development of rare earth industry.

( 4 ) mining of rare earth damaging to the environment. Beijing Nonferrous Metal Research Institute , Professor Huang Xiaowei , entitled " Clean and efficient extraction of China 's rare earth resources and the use of loops " that produce 1 ton of ionic rare earth ore consumption of 4 to 5 tons of ammonium sulfate , 1.7 tons of ammonium bicarbonate ; separation 1 ton Southern ionic rare earth ore consumption 8 to 10 tons of hydrochloric acid , liquid alkali 6 to 8 tons or 1 to 1.2 tons of liquid ammonia , etc., these chemical raw materials eventually transformed into waste water, waste or exhaust , are not effective recycling. In addition , Baotou mines and Sichuan Bastnasite contains 7% to 8 % of the fluoride , 0.2% thorium are not recycled into waste , waste gas or waste water , pollution of the environment .

Ganzhou rare earth mining began in the 1970s . Tank leaching process once used to be known as the " move mountains " campaign went mountain of vegetation have suffered great damage , but a lot of waste leaching, acid precipitation and other processes to produce rich ammonia , heavy metals and other pollutants, serious pollution drinking water and agricultural irrigation water . Some experts believe that , in fact, in order to pool leaching process , for example, every ton of mined rare earth, to destroy 200 square meters of vegetation , topsoil stripping 300 square meters , resulting in 2,000 cubic meters of tailings , resulting in 1,200 cubic meters of soil erosion annually. So in the rare earth industry " after rare barren " argument. April 16, 2012 , 42 ministries and national research group to form a coalition after Ganzhou research , forming an environmental report . The report shows that rare earth mining pollution across 18 counties in Ganzhou ( cities, districts ) , involving 302 rare earth mines abandoned legacy tailings ( waste ) reached 191 million tons , destroyed an area of ​​97.34 square kilometers of forest .

Huge funding gap has become a serious challenge facing the rare earth industry environmental governance . Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology Ministry , said Su Bo , the consideration paid for Chinese rare earth mining shocking , preliminary estimates, environmental pollution is only one place because Ganzhou rare earth mining caused environmental restoration governance costs as high as 38 billion yuan . In contrast, the 51 rare earth enterprises in Jiangxi Province in 2011 full-year profit of $ 6.4 billion seems inadequate. And this is just the rare earth environmental pollution problems " tip of the iceberg ." Su Bo said that the current private mining of rare earth digging , waste of resources, the situation is still rampant smuggling and other state-owned enterprises tons of rare earth mining recovery rate of only 60% , a large private enterprise recovery of only 40 %, and some private mining or digging mines only 5% of rare earth resources is a lot of waste , and thus lead to huge environmental problems. According to the ministry sources, said the North 's leading rare earth Baotou Steel Rare Earth , its environmental audit has not yet been reached. Baogang Group Bayan Obo ore , iron ore , and a large number of rare symbiosis, which in the mining of iron ore , rare earth -containing byproducts temporarily unable to use it with the waste transported through the pipeline to the tailings accumulation , over time, formed the current capacity of 170 million tons of "rare earth lake ."

Rare Experts杨万喜said that, in order to measure the current rare earth prices , although up to ten million ton , dozens or even hundreds of million yuan , but it is far smaller than the cost of environmental restoration , and in the long run is worth the candle. "Right now, the biggest bottleneck of rare earth mining is not reasonably deal with sediment and wastewater is discharged abandoned . "Gannan local cadres Li Hui Yang said. Acidic substance used to extract rare earth elements will eventually flow into the water carrying sediment qingjian and rivers, polluting nearby , has a direct threat to those Montagnards living farming for generations . CHEN Yu-guo villager said, " We can not have what ground planted . "This is private mining of rare earth indiscriminate digging behavior on the ecological environment is difficult to erase the pain .

Rare or stable or falling prices, increasingly thin turnover

RE market weak shocks, prices have stabilized and down, continued weak demand . Suppliers reflect more downstream procurement unit shutdown not discontinued businesses have certain procurement requirements, but still difficult to deal with inventory to meet the needs of the raw materials market . Is already the end of the year , the closer the New Year holiday , the more manufacturers that the market will be more sluggish consumption and deserted.

Praseodymium neodymium metal slightly lower 5 1000 -1 million and supplier feedback prices in 39-39.5 yuan / ton can be traded , corresponding oxide, praseodymium , neodymium prices decreased slightly 2-5 thousand dollars. Market price declines gadolinium iron oxide, praseodymium , neodymium and fairly , Ganzhou manufacturers offer temporary at 16.8-17 yuan / ton, the low price at 165,000 last week, the price is more focused on the 170,000 yuan / ton.

Prices were relatively stable mainly praseodymium, neodymium , erbium, gadolinium oxide. Inventory due to different manufacturers and traders , shipping slightly different mentality , the quotation of prices remained stable . Currently grass Shen praseodymium oxide market has certain transactions , vendors shipped price reflected in 57-57.5 yuan / ton, unchanged from last week . The understanding with the merchants , neodymium oxide recent demand is weak , fewer orders, erbium oxide prices were relatively stable, relatively little better shipments , quotes aspect has been maintained at around 35-35.5 million, or neodymium oxide traders offer at 31-32 Wan yuan / ton. Gadolinium oxide market , comprehensive price range , the price range was little changed . Manufacturers and traders offer reflects been maintained at around 155,000 yuan / ton, but some vendors ship slightly lower prices , comprehensive priced at 15-15.5 yuan / ton, unchanged from last week .

There are still some products prices slightly down or appear super cheap deal. Such as lanthanum , cerium oxide , praseodymium , neodymium metal , iron , gadolinium , dysprosium , terbium oxide , yttrium oxide and the like.
Initially, there are vendors reflect the market it was super cheap out lanthanum oxide , 3N lanthanum oxide transaction price has dropped to 20,000 yuan / ton , offer some traders on the market at 2.1-2.2 yuan / ton , 3N cerium oxide prices in the 2.3-2.4 yuan / ton. Quotes are slightly higher at around 25,000 yuan / ton , but the price is slightly lower than last week's quote of $ 1,000 / ton.

The presence of dysprosium products prices slightly adjusted , it is understood , there are traders of 172 yuan / ton price of shipping , but with the reduction in inventory , shipping prices continue to accept repatriation of 1.75 million yuan / ton. Dysprosium prices stable or slightly compared with last week down 3-4 million , Ganzhou areas vendor feedback current price of dysprosium 235 yuan / ton.

After mid- December , there are some production europium, terbium oxide manufacturers to reflect , as downstream manufacturers to stop production, significantly reducing demand , turnover Qudan . Today through with individual traders understand that some manufacturers are still in production, there are certain procurement requirements, but with the supply on the market than up, demand is still very small. Because there was no demand strong support , there are suppliers will quote dropped to 3400 yuan / kg, the price in 3700, 3800 prior to the manufacturers or traders also slightly lower prices.

Thoughts and Suggestions adjustment and optimization of China's rare earth strategy

Rare earths are important strategic resources, as people on rare earths strategic consciousness and the resource environment consciousness weak, the state system is not perfect, rare earth strategy system lag, causes in the process of development and production of rare earth, private mining mining of behavior serious; Ecological damage; Resources price is quite low, and the resources and environmental costs serious don't match; Rare earth quotas of management from foreign lawsuits, all sorts of problems emerge in endlessly, reflect China's rare earth strategy and policy development is highly uneven with the real world. Therefore improve the strategic thought of rare earth in our country, perfect the legal system of rare earth, deepening the reform of rare earth resource and ecological compensation and environmental tax, adjust the policies and measures, such as rare earth industry to protect the interests of the state of rare earth resources and the environment.

Rare earth resources in our country present situation and some chaos, rare earths national strategy faces many confused, in the process of social and economic development, the government's decision in a dilemma.

1, the status quo of China's rare earth resources protection

Had 71.1% of the world's rare earth reserves in China, but in 2012 the state council information office released white paper on "China's rare earth situation and policy", according to China's rare earth reserves account for about 23% of the world's total reserves. In a short span of 30 years of reform and opening-up, our country has already sold 48.10% of rare earth resources reserves, according to the existing production speed, in China, heavy rare earth reserves can only last 15 to 20 years, may need to import. To protect rare earth this strategic resources, and the resource advantage into economic advantage, over the years, the Chinese government has implemented a series of rare earth resources control measures, while achieved certain effect, there are still some problems.

2 the problems existing in the national strategy, rare earth resources

Our country once proud to account for 71.1% of the world's rare earth, and when to drop 23% reserves nowadays, we should feel very guilty and deep remorse, "why didn't we Chinese to protect and make good use of wealth and resources of father to stay?" Our government and every Chinese should be traced back to realize my own shortcomings, change the strategic thinking and decision making. The author analysis the reasons are the following:

(1) the consciousness of rare earth resources. In October 2010, the United States energy policy analyst mark. Humphries entitled to congress of rare earth elements: the global supply chain report lists the relevant statistical data in 2009, among them, China's rare earth reserves of 36 million tons, accounting for 36% of the world, the output 120000 tons, accounting for 97% of the world; Russia's reserves of 19 million tons, accounting for 19% of the world. The reserves of 13 million tons, accounting for 13% of the world; Australia reserves of 5.4 million tons, accounting for 5% of the world. India reserves of 3.1 million tons, accounting for 3% of the world, the production of 2700 tons, accounting for 2% of the world. Outside China, the national rare earth production is 0, in a state of zero mining. Supply China with 30% of global reserves, more than 95% of global demand, known as the "gold selling price of Chinese cabbage". Because China's rare earth price is low, the United States willing to shut down since the 1985's own mines, all imported from China; Japan has a large number of imports of Chinese rare earth hoarding. Traced back to these problems is the Chinese for too little attention to the importance of rare earth, rare earth resources awareness is relatively weak; In addition, people today for a small collective interests or the pursuit of economic interests is higher than the present national interests or the long term.

(2) the consequence caused by vicious competition of rare earth resources. China's rare earth export in the world, at present the national rare earth separation enterprise production capacity of more than ten thousand tons, the market demand only between 120000 ~ 150000 tons, with the international market demand is about 30000 ~ 50000 tons, domestic market demand in 70000 ~ 80000 tons, in order to show that rare earth overcapacity serious in our country. From 1990 to 2005, Chinese exports of rare earths has increased by nearly 10 times, but the average price fell to half 1990. The main reason is out of control and management in 1998 China's rare earth quotas strictly, in 2006, China's rare earth mining total amount control management. In 2008, the state issued the national mineral resources planning, for the rare earth market turmoil play a certain role to curb, but did not fundamentally change the situation, related data show that disguised export every year and smuggling of rare earths in 20000 ~ 20000 tons.

Not only that, greatly improve the quality of other products and performance remarkably rare earth is to "bargain" instead of exports abroad, according to industry insiders, the price is a far cry from internal and overseas of rare earth metals, such as the above-mentioned provide metal neodymium prices for 440-450 yuan/kg, and imports of neodymium metal is more than ten thousand yuan/kg, equivalent to 200 yuan/grams, with only 10% of the tariff, that is 180 yuan/grams for the international market price, equivalent to 409-400 times the price of domestic, differences were disparity big, make people to surprise! National resources so betrayed, regretted! So, China's rare earth market and mining in the chaos, the national strategic interests is quite bad, the Chinese government must be regulated.

(3) under the quota system of new problems. The Chinese government today to the rare earths have a certain understanding, for the rare earth export quota management. The ministry of commerce has announced two batches of export quotas in 2013, the light rare earth is 27384 tons, 3617 tons of heavy rare earths in, two batches of total of 31001 tons. Such a move for the domestic rare earth export chaos have played a role in stem, but with the emergence of new problems. Although rare earth raw materials exports have been strictly limited, but the primary products of rare earth materials purchased in China is not restricted by quota, so some developed countries enterprises begin to invest in China's rare earth resources in large Numbers. At present, the United States, Germany, Japan and other developed countries of the enterprise has investment of rare earth industry in China, there are 38, sole proprietorship, joint venture investment of RMB 6.1 billion, they will only simple processing of rare earth resources in the primary products shipped to abroad for further processing or in reserve, to make China's rare earth resources beyond the quotas on exports. Foreign companies in China through such investing methods such as drill law loophole, successful escape the rare earth export quotas and the predatory exploitation of rare earth resources, this phenomenon seriously affected the development of rare earth industry norms.

(4) rare earth mining destructive to the environment. In Beijing nonferrous metal research institute professor Huang Xiaowei entitled "China's rare earth resources efficient clean extraction and recycling", points out that in every production 1 ton of ionic type rare-earth ore cost 4 ~ 5 tons of ammonium sulfate, 1.7 tons of ammonium bicarbonate; Separation of ionic type rare-earth ore consumption 1 ton south 8 ~ 10 tons of hydrochloric acid, 6 ~ 8 tons of liquid alkali or 1 ~ 1.2 tonnes of liquid ammonia, etc., the chemical raw materials are eventually converted to waste water, waste residue or waste gas, no effective recycling. In addition, baotite bastnaesite and sichuan containing 7% ~ 8% of fluorine, 0.2% of thorium is not recycled into the waste residue, waste gas or waste water, pollute the environment.

Ganzhou rare earth mining began in the 1970 s. Once use pool leaching process is called "move mountain movement", wherever the mountain vegetation suffered great damage, and heavy working procedure such as leaching, acid produced by a large number of rich in ammonia nitrogen, heavy metal pollutants such as wastewater, serious pollution of drinking water and agricultural irrigation water. Some experts believe that actually pool leaching process, for example, every tons of rare earth mining, to destroy the vegetation of 200 square meters, 300 square meters of stripping topsoil, 2000 cubic meters of tailings, 1200 cubic meters of water and soil loss every year. So in the rare earth industry contains nothing grows after the "rare earth". On April 16, 2012, the national research joint research group of 42 ministries in ganzhou, formed an environmental report. Reports indicate that the rare earth mining pollution in ganzhou 18 counties (city, area), involves the disused mines 302, legacy tailings (waste) of 191 million tons, the damaged forest area of 97.34 square kilometers.

Huge funding gap of environmental governance has become a rare earth industry is facing a serious challenge. Of industry and information technology, deputy minister Mr. Su said that China's rare earth mining cost, preliminary estimates, ganzhou alone of environmental pollution caused by the mining, mine environment restorative governance cost up to 38 billion yuan. 51 rare earth enterprises in jiangxi province in 2011, by contrast, annual profits of 6.4 billion yuan is a drop in the bucket. It was only the environmental pollution of the rare earths bring "the tip of the iceberg". Mr. Su said that the current private mining rare earth digging and waste of resources, smuggling, and so on and so forth is still rampant, tons of rare earth mining recovery rate was only 60% of state-owned enterprises, large recovery rate was only 40% of private enterprises, some private dug mines and even only 5%, rare earths was squandered, and the resulting huge environmental problems. Another according to the environmental protection, rare earth leading north of baotou rare earth, the environmental audit is still not up to standard. Baotou steel group of baiyun obo ore, iron ore and a large number of rare earth coexistence, its after selecting ore, containing rare earths by-product of temporarily unable to use, with the liquid through a pipeline to the accumulation of tailings dam, accumulate over a long period, the formation of the current capacity of 170 million tons of "rare earth lake".

Yang Wanxi rare-earth experts said, at current prices, while up to ten yuan per ton, hundreds of thousands of yuan, even hundreds of millions of yuan, but also far less than the cost of environment recovery, the long run is not worth the cost. "Now, is the biggest bottleneck mining cannot reasonably be abandoned sediment and wastewater treatment." Jiangxi local cadres Li Hui Yang said. Acid used for extraction of rare earth elements carrying sediment will eventually flow into the nearby qingjian and river, the pollution of water, has a direct threat to the people who plow living for generations. Villagers Chen Yuguo said, "what kind of our field." This is the private mining rare earth mining of behavior is difficult to erase the pain on the ecological environment.

Second, the rare earth national strategy of international experience for reference

The countries of the world, especially developed countries earlier, the development and application of rare earth and scientific research and advanced, involves the development of mineral resources management system, such as rare earths are more perfect, its experience gives us many inspirations, worthy of our learning and using for reference.

1, the strategic thought of rare earth resources abroad. Developed countries will be rare earths as a national strategic resources, all over the world looking for rare earth minerals, based on global resources use powerful thought behind it, using various means such as diplomatic, economic, as a key, open the world resources, to develop various forms of cooperation, will be used for other countries' resources, make rare earth used in a variety of sophisticated science and technology, military technology, the development of the country's economic, military, to obtain huge state and national interests. In the 19th century British palmerston once said: "there is no eternal friends between countries, also have no eternal enemies, only permanent interests, the pursuit of these interests is our responsibility." The western developed countries in the aspect of interests will palmerston's words is developed to get incisively and vividly, the United States, Japan and so on have more advanced and long-term strategic thinking, the rare earth as a national security strategic material reserves. The U.S. house of representatives proposed bill of rare earths, the department of energy (doe) has made a rare earth strategic plan, and is making a plan for the exploitation of domestic rare earth, and their participation in cooperation only several Allies, Japan, Canada, the United States it is considered for its national security strategy. And as in Japan, its official and folk common strategic reserves of rare earth resources, strengthen the resources in the field of diplomatic, economic, diplomatic and economic cooperation, ensuring the supply of rare earths. So, the developed countries use all available means in implementing the strategy of global resources, maximizing the interests of the state, it is their strategic intent, but also its strategic objectives.

2, industrial policy of the development of rare earth resources abroad. In Australia, for example, the countries in order to win global market share, to prevent foreign mining companies domestic mining company investment. In the global scope rapid expansion of rare earth market at the same time, Australia also tighten the domestic investment of rare earth metals. A few years ago, the Australian government will ever stop foreign mining companies companies to invest in domestic mining companies to plan. Japan's demand for rare earth mineral resources are huge, in order to ensure the continuous resource supply, the Japanese government has been encouraging its companies to invest overseas mineral resources development, provide financial guarantees for the enterprise; In order to guarantee the security of cooperation projects, the Japanese government to strengthen with the bank, the Asian development bank, the European Renaissance development, the international monetary fund and the export-import bank of developed countries, the international famous investment institutions such as cooperation, make the resource countries under international diplomatic situation, did not dare to make a move. America has the largest rare earth resources in western countries, accounts for about 12% of the world's resources, rare earth reserves the second largest in the world. To protect rare earth resources, the United States in 2002 sealed his biggest mountain pass mine.

3, the marketing strategy of rare earth resources development abroad. Japan through indirect groups combined resources investigation and send mineral experts and researchers and so on many kinds of ways, to carry out the resources diplomacy, to understand the status of the other countries' resources, trying to get other countries' resources. Japan's rare earth resource diplomacy to JOGMEC semi-official status, JOGMEC usually to overseas economic cooperation fund of Japan, Japan import and export bank and other financial institutions to provide loan guarantees, guarantee ratio can reach 80%, and communicate and investment location related parties, create good investment environment for Japanese companies, in order to get the exploration and mining projects of the company. Japan early in China carefully selected a group of stable strategic raw materials suppliers, joint ventures, for example, Japan SanDe metal industrial company in baotou has two joint ventures; Showa electric companies in baotou and ganzhou has a joint venture. Procurement from China in recent years, Japan change channels and strategies, changed a lot, for batch of centralized purchasing and decentralized procurement. Japan also in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and southeast Asia and other places set up, and go through Hong Kong, China, Thailand import port trade, its purpose is to deflect, avoid causing China's alert; Also can ingenious use of purchasing time, distorted the normal supply and demand, to crack down on and manipulate the market price. At the same time, Japan also smuggled out a large acquisition of guangxi, yunnan area of rare earth materials and semi-finished products.

Not only do we need to learn and draw lessons from foreign advanced technology, make the art of war "knowing there", also must absorb its advanced strategic and management idea, by wei yuan long skill of "barbarians" strategy, be adept in the use of strategy and policy, to "fight" winner.

Three, optimization of rare earth in China national strategic advice

Countries around the world to carry out the strategy of all are in the state and national interests first as a strategic objective, and rare earth resources as an important strategic resources, countries should be protected. In this, the author puts forward some countermeasures and Suggestions from different angles for your reference.

1, to set up the rare earth resources protection legal system, for the rare earth resources

Our country current law regulates the basic principles, basic system of mineral resources for mineral resource management and development provides the basic standard, is the national unified regulation and administrative region linkage supervision important basis and common principles of rare earth resources and regional resources of balancing of interests.

First, to accelerate the process of rare earth legislation. The original "mineral resources law" has been inappropriate, the penalties for illegal rare earth mining, other law enforcement agencies of execution is weak, cause in the illegal mining, wanton speculation phenomenon, the serious influence to our country's economic and strategic security. For their country's long-term interests as far as possible intact, the National People's Congress and the central government should quicken the steps of rare earth legislation, a more detailed detailed protection strategy of rare earth resources laws and regulations, to cherish and protect our precious rare earths. Law should stipulate, forbidden rare earth national strategic resources at will and illegal mining and trading and export trade, the illegal mining, sell and export abroad in "crime of illegal mining and sell national strategic resources" punish, handed over to the judicial organs shall be severely punished. To be "justified" rare earth protection, implementation of rare earth resources in the country "are laws, the barriers" legal protection.

Second, the establishment of powerful protection strategy of rare earth resources law enforcement system. After the rare earth resources protection legislation, we also need to build a comparatively complete law enforcement system, must be integrated resources of power sector, such as the national land and resources, the national development and reform commission, ministry of commerce and industry and information technology, and so on related department unified ideological understanding, break departmental, put national interest first, small collective interests must obey national interests and local interests, relevant departments and local governments must act in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, whether anyone if there is any violation of the rare earth resources law, shall be handed over to judicial organs to adjudicate. We must earnestly implement the protection of "the eleventh central committee, the law applied" strategy of rare earth resources law enforcement system.

2 taxing, rare earth resources, to cherish and protect the nation's resources

(1) the further deepening of rare earth resource tax reform. Our country should contain rare earths by means of tax of blind production and export of rare earth industry now is not a simple economic problem, in the national strategic critical period, the tax policy makers should from the strategic height to know the seriousness of the problem. We should increase resources tax rate, as well as environmental tax, its reason is: first, the resource tax rates rise to make people more appreciative of the national rare disposable resources; Second, the current resource tax rates are too low, the fee levied taxes cannot undertake environmental restoration projects, more sufficient reason to raise taxes. Rare earth now "non-ferrous metals" as the resource tax item, the original 0.40 yuan, 3.00 yuan/ton ore is adjusted for the current RMB 30-60 yuan/ton ore, although increased the rate of 8-20 times, but it is not enough, the rare earth not to play the strategic implications.

Rare earth is "metal vitamin", according to data show that in per ton steel, 300 grams of rare earth is added to the steel and the characteristics of rare earth are evident, for national strategy, it is "priceless", not for the current "ton" unit ", should take the theory of "g" as the unit price, to reflect its economic value and strategic resources value, and the resource tax item separately presented in the "non-ferrous metals", identified as "rare earths" item. If to 3 yuan, 30 yuan / 100 grams of ore for rare earth resources tax, so rare earth pay 30000 yuan to 600000 yuan per ton of resource tax, equivalent to the last adjusted rate between 1000 and 1000 times, this will make China's rare earth prices. This is not surprising, according to a recent, The Times of the ball ball, at present, rare earth in the international market price is $1000 / kg (equivalent to 6.09 yuan/g) above, but the price of China's exports of rare earths is 18 yuan/kg ($2.95 / kg, or the equivalent of 0.018 yuan/grams), that is to say, our country is now in the international market price of 338 points, one of the very low prices in the export of rare earth! The data show that in the world of rare earth price is actually a gram or ounces, pounds denominated, China's rare earths to tons "so that the price is quite low; According to the calculation, the author proposed raising rare earth resource tax rate to 3 yuan, 30 yuan / 100 grams of ore (average rate of 16.5 yuan / 100 grams of ore) compared the tax in the international market price of the cost accounting is relatively low, therefore, in the current strategy of rare earth in moments of crisis, we should adopt the strategic counsel, timely improve the rare earth resources tax, then cause price growth is normal, this is the rational regression of rare earth prices.

(2) to speed up the pace of ecological compensation and environmental tax. According to the requirement of the construction of ecological civilization, ecological environment destruction caused by mining, must be repaired, and compensation should be made to the local people. However, ecological compensation and environmental restoration needs considerable funds, therefore, we suggest that the government imposed tax, ecological compensation and repairing by tax to the local ecological compensation and environmental restoration, make up for the rare earth enterprise of damage to the ecological environment. The tax is not imposed a new tax, but cross with tax, tax object is the same, is the exploitation of natural resources units or individuals. In mining mineral Labour on the exploitation of mineral resources behavior, ecological compensation, etc., not impose quotas, and environmental fee system has the same flaw, thus restructuring has its necessity for taxes, tax rates determined can reference resource tax rate mechanism, according to the relevant institutions of rare earth cost accounting, the environmental costs of China's rare earth for $5.6 per kg, $34.10 per kg yuan or 34100 yuan per ton, and ecological compensation costs 60000-80000 yuan per ton, environmental cost and ecological compensation cost total RMB 94100-114100, equivalent to the current resource tax rate 3803.33 times, 1568.33 times, according to current resources tax rate and the ecological compensation and environmental repair cost comparison, our present resource taxes is just "a drop in the bucket", is a total market "upside down" phenomenon. In the design of it is because of China's rare earth market prices and resource tax, does not take into account the high ecological compensation and environmental cost factor, thus lead to China's rare earth is low, the resources and the environment are serious loss.

So we should change the development idea of rare earth industry untimely and tax, as early as possible research and ecological compensation and environmental restoration (additional) tax and resource tax, the tax rate design should be the ecological compensation and environmental remediation cost into consideration, as the key of the rare earth ecological compensation and environmental restoration rate should be duty for the unit with the g (or 100 grams), the tax rate to determine in 9 yuan per 100 grams, 12 yuan per 100 grams, so rare earth pay 90000 yuan to 120000 yuan per ton of ecological compensation and environmental restoration, the collection of taxes to ecological compensation and environmental restoration works to proceed, or you can't make up for the ecological compensation and environmental restoration funding gap. Can contain foreign rare earth traders so wanton looting resources, rare earth say will return to us.

Questions about from the volume. "The current reform of resource taxes have been used the method of AD valorem duty, why the new design of rare earth resource and ecological compensation and environmental restoration duty but also from volume?" Some people will question. The author thinks that, China's rare earth current market price is too low, such as using AD valorem duty tax reform will be difficult to achieve the strategy of rare earths resources expectations, so the two taxes taken from volume is closer to the strategic purpose of rare earth resources. In a word, we should focus on their country's long-term interests, from a strategic planning in rare earth more favorable tax policies, to cherish and protect the rare earth resources, promoting the recovery and utilization of the rare earths, quicken the steps of recycle economy of rare earth, thereby promoting resource-conserving and environment-friendly society to move forward.

3, adjust the rare earths industry policy, promote the sustainable development of the rare earth industry in China

The Chinese government is drafting a rare earth collection and storage system, this is a can alleviate the current crisis is relatively appropriate industrial policy, rare earth in addition to this, the author puts forward some Suggestions for industrial policy for your reference.

(1) set up a rare earths industry alliance. China's rare earth industry is "overall excess capacity, industry concentration degree is low, disorderly competition, integration is difficult" the ills, strengthen industry alliance is imperative. On April 8, 2012 established China's rare earth industry association, has a certain influence, but limited role. According to the international and domestic development situation, we should consider standing on rare earth country overall strategy should be established specifications higher, more powerful "China's rare earth industry strategic alliance", by the national related ministries and commissions, scientific research institutes, rare earth industry association and the size of production enterprises all over the country for its members, and directly into the system of "national security", become a part of it. Is the role of "China's rare earth industry strategic alliance", implement the national macroeconomic regulation and control policy; Study and establish the national rare earths strategy ideology; Research and develop the rare earth industry strategic countermeasures and steps; Set up the communication mechanism between government and enterprises, to promote environmental protection and saving energy and reducing consumption, reflecting the Suggestions and requests of industries and enterprises; Promote the industry information exchange, negotiated prices, strengthen self-discipline, and union for the conservation of the whole operation; To establish a national system of technological innovation, technology research and optimization combination, a clear division of responsibilities, to promote industrial technology innovation, maintenance of union members in their own intellectual property rights and other legitimate rights and interests; Promote win-win cooperation between enterprises, in such aspects as raw material supply and market equilibrium to strengthen cooperation between enterprises, eliminate the malignant competition.

(2) rare earth science and technology research and application of independent innovation. The world production of rare earth resources in our country, research and development and application of the rare earths in foreign countries, this is not normal phenomenon. Rare earth industry to adjust strategic development direction, should be from exports to domestic demand, actively encourage rare earth science and technology independent innovation, promote the organic combination of "production, study and research" three, introduce a batch of talents with high technical level, strong innovation consciousness, the applications of rare earth science and innovation technology and concept in time to production and consumption, speed up the rare earth science and technology innovation and development, the rapid transformation of scientific and technological achievements, develop actively the application of rare earth industry chain. Scientists in the world every three and a half years you will find a new use of the rare earths, improve resource utilization, in particular, this is the main characteristic of rare earth of modern science and technology progress. Current our country independent research and development of science and technology of rare earth should stand behind the technology development and application of synchronous development, independent innovation and research and application of rare earth science and technology independent innovation is to promote the development of rare earth a extremely important link, the national strategy determines the strategic height of rare earths. As a result, support and promote the development of independent research and technology of science and technology industry, development of new products to adapt to the market demand, in particular, in the rare earth permanent magnet, luminous, hydrogen storage and other rare earth functional materials to extend industrial chain, conquers the highest position in the future high technology and new technology industry development.

(3) to develop rare earth industrial policy. According to relevant materials, and rare earth resources in China can also be 20 to 50 years, and in 20 to 50 years, our country will be taken from rare earth powers into small ones. To this, should be formulated as soon as possible to protect China's rare earth policy and strategic planning, strictly control the gate of the export products, strengthen primary export restrictions of rare earth products, to promote research and development and application of rare earth high-tech products, enhancing the added value of the end products. Domestic calls for a ban on rare earth export in our country, there are many well-known scholars from long-term interests of the country and people, the most effective and easy to implement, was immediately banned exports, only to maintain domestic production and research and development the required output size, or just buy from the international market. This opinion is worth reference.

(4) strict implementation of the access system of rare earth industry. First, strictly banned foreign investment and foreign enterprises in rare earth and rare earth resources of production and business operation activities. Banned foreign establish rare earth mining enterprises in China, ban on foreign investment in rare earth smelting separation projects (limited to the joint venture, cooperation, and qualified foreign stake, to limit foreign merchandise), all the deep processing of rare earth mineral development, smelting separation project approved by the national related department, shall not delegate approval authority. At the same time, strict control of foreign investment in rare earth deep processing and application field. Second, solve the problem of excess production capacity of rare earth enterprises. The central government shall formulate strict industrial policy, reduce the rare earth enterprise capacity; Increase of rare earth enterprises admittance threshold, strictly no qualification and standard enterprise into the rare earth industry, including environmental assessment, technology assessment indicators, etc.

(5) improve the rare earth circular economy system. Widely in the rare earth enterprise to implement clean production, reduce the production of material and energy use, source from the production process and make full use of resources, make the enterprise to achieve waste minimization, recycling and harmless. To learn and absorb foreign advanced rare earth recovery technology and management experience, to develop rare earth renewable resources, actively improve the rare earth independent recycling system, promote the rare earth industry circulation economy forward. Especially dealing with mining, smelting process on the "three wastes" comprehensive treatment, and waste. To promote recycling enterprise's sustainable development, the state formulates policies to guide and support recycling enterprises technical innovation, improve the level of technology and equipment, waste water, waste gas, waste residue comprehensive recycling, improve the environmental protection facilities, enhance the level of use and environmental governance.
