SMM net news: "Japanese economic news",  China's rare earth exports to Japan is 3500 tons,

only less than to the United States exports of 4000 tons in the first five months of 2013.
After Japan has always been China's rare earth's biggest exports. Japanese media thinks,

this is Japan's advocacy to save energy and promote to diversify re source of import policyresults.

Reporters from Baotou City in Inner Mongolia held its fifth "China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum" was informed that the State Council promulgated to promote the sustained and healthy development of rare earth industry, a number of observations over two years, through the joint efforts of all sectors of society, China's rare earth industry initially to achieve the establishment of a unified, standardized and efficient management system of rare earth industry milestones.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Division Chen Yanhai raw material introduced more than two years, the state authorities have issued Administrative Measures for the implementation of the rare earth industry, trade access, pollutant emission standards and a series of policies and systems to improve the rare earth resource tax, the implementation of the rare earth industry, invoices, rare earth industry management system gradually improved.

To effectively combat illegal activities, in 2011 and 2012, twice the national order of the rare earth industry to carry out special rectification action, investigate illegal mining of rare earths and other illegal activities were more than 600; closure of illegal mining sites 14, investigated 14 cases of smuggling of rare earth, case value of over 400 million yuan; conduct environmental review, the national rare earth industry, new environmental investment over 40 billion yuan. At present, China's rare earth industry resources Luancailuanwa long, unplanned and planned production ultra phenomenon has been effectively curbed, to further standardize the order of the rare earth industry.

It is understood that the past two years, to accelerate the pace of integration of rare earth industry, China has initially formed a group set resource extraction, smelting separation, processing applications, technology research and development as one of the large enterprise groups.

In addition, over the past two years, the application of rare earth industry to accelerate development, industrial scale and technological strength has increased markedly, the rare earth industry to run quality improved significantly. 2011 and 2012, respectively, the national rare earth industry realized profits of 15.9 billion yuan and 10.8 billion yuan. The first half of this year, the national production of rare earth industry, smelting and separation products 35,000 tons, to achieve industry profit 2,000,000,000 yuan.

"Abnormal rare earth prices soared in 2011, bringing a huge profit margins; together for the protection of the environment and the exploitation of rare earth resources, China's rare earth industry to increase efforts to adjust supply and demand of rare earth products momentary imbalance emerged in this environment, foreign a large number of rare earth projects launched. "Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare Earth Hi-Tech Co., general manager Zhang said.

In the 1990s, China's rare earth products due to low prices, high quality and quickly occupied the advantage of the international market. In 1998, the U.S. company's rare earth extraction of molybdenum separation line discontinued in 2002 its Mountain Pass mine to stop mining. In 2004, India's rare earth plant shutdown. All of a sudden, the rare earth market is completely become "China Times", over the years China supports about 90% of global demand for rare earths.

This year, the Mountain Pass rare earth plant as the first phase of expansion, and the Australian Lynas Corporation WA concentrator expansion construction is completed the second phase of the light rare earths diversified supply has begun to take shape.

China's future market share in the number of shares? China Rare Earth Industry Association, Marong Zhang and Zhang's "personal view", there is not a small difference. Marong Zhang said the number of domestic and foreign enterprises through cost analysis shows that China's light rare earth mining, smelting and separation in the global advantage "is not obvious." Zhang believes that the domestic rare earth mine in the distribution points and grade on the "little gap", with the drop in the price of rare earth, because China's resources and cost advantages, rare earth supply is likely to return to the "China Times."

Partition means rock or mineral content of rare earth elements in the proportion between. Rare has "the mother of new material," said the foreign restart rare earth projects are mostly light rare earth project, the heavy rare earth in China "specialty."

In fact, affect the future pattern of light rare earth supply many factors, price trends, national policies will be for the body mass is not the industry to bring shock. Invariably, in between commercial interests and the national strategy, China's rare earth industry, the game never stops.

"If in 2011 the stock market last longer some more projects abroad early on. ...... Now the price, foreign to continue to overweight (capacity), or will first consider what is."

"If in 2011 the stock market last longer some more projects abroad early on." The expert said, "Now the price abroad to continue to overweight (capacity), or will first consider what is."

Since last year, the global economic slowdown, also downstream rare earth industry downturn, coupled with soaring prices of rare earth in 2011 really made application of rare earth enterprises to eat boring boxing, rare earth prices has basically come down to the level of the initial price.

"June 2011 is the highest point of rare-earth prices, the profit level reached the highest value product now withering profit margins, the current price level for Chinese enterprises, there is a certain profit margin, for foreign rare earth project is difficult for the Relay. "Zhang said some foreign in the exploration phase of the project most difficult, a lot of projects to China looking for partners.

Zhang analysis, due to oversupply of light rare earth products, especially products of lanthanum and cerium, in the current price trend, the large-scale expansion will further squeeze profit margins.

Cost and price of course is to determine the main factors of production, but experts have warned that the rare earth industry, and foreign difference is that Chinese enterprises is not enough emphasis on sustainable development.

"Everybody says that some foreign ore before discontinued because of cost competition, but China, environmental costs far higher than China, etc. But I think, if not profitable, not mine so many years ago, after all, is not environmentally friendly from 2002 (Note: Mans Pass mine shut down in 2002) began. "he said.

"Since the (Chinese) have cheap rare earth, why do I still mined? Keep for future re-sell it more expensive!" He said, "like rare earths such resources, will certainly keep price increases because it is not the same and iron , are non-renewable, recycling is only part not 100% recycled. "

Continue to join the ranks of rare earth industry, the company will intensify competition in the market worldwide, "the world's rare earth price war is inevitable."

June 2012, the State Council Information Office published entitled "China's rare earth conditions and policies," the White Paper: "23% of China's rare earth resources to bear more than 90% of the world market supply." Meaning behind this statement is that China at the same time in the development of rare earth industry, the need to protect resources and the environment to the position of the premise.

When the project started abroad increased supply, obviously, the entrepreneur himself.

Zhang believes that continue to join the ranks of the rare earth industry, the company will intensify competition in the market worldwide, "the world's rare earth price war is inevitable."

According to Ma Rongzhang said that many rare earth companies to trade associations reflect changes in domestic and foreign markets, and according to the current characteristics of rare earth reserves, the government should take in the export quotas "severity are different" approach, focusing on control of heavy rare earth exports gradually liberalized LREE Production mandatory plan, the phasing out of lanthanum, cerium export quotas, to encourage a large number of export lanthanum, cerium and other surplus elements occupy the international market.

The experts believe that, from the current market situation, "the severity are different" there is a certain necessity. But his analysis, the current national level considerations on the rare earth industry, or to a whole industry to the layout, "has not yet reached the severity of this step are different, not to mention the press element to points."

In addition, he judged, the state policy on rare earths are available in 2011 found in the text of the 12th, "In the future policy is also difficult to break this range."

No. 12 in May 2011 under the hair, called the "State Council on promoting the sustained and healthy development of rare earth industry, a number of opinions" (Guo Fa [2011] on the 12th). This programmatic document to finalize the development of the industry goal in 1-2 years' time, to establish a standardized and orderly development of rare earth resources, smelting separation and market order flow, the basic formation of large-scale enterprises as the leading rare earth industry structure; addition, the The paper suggests that improving RE mandatory production plan management, strengthen the rare earth export management.

For export quota scheme, the experts also believe that for a long period of time will still be implemented. He repeatedly stressed that the entire world, the light rare earth elements is definitely not scarcity, but the heavy rare earth is a real rarity.

"If we do not enforce the quota system continues, it is likely China's rare earth mining finished soon. Etc. mining finished, you will find, and also expensive to buy from abroad, as long as you do not plan to implement the quota, this will happen in our country." This Experts said, "but how many future quotas may be adjusted, in addition, now mine, separate link has mandatory plan, and they will probably only caught mine, mine, after all, is the source of the country's resources."

China rare earth industry, a senior sources said Wednesday, well into the illegal smuggling of rare earth "technology smuggling" era, rare earth alloy, rare earth alloy and fast-cooling products such as the name of the declaration with a thick, solid lines blatant smuggling, brought to the country huge losses.

The person said some of China's rare earth ferroalloy enterprises, rare earth alloy and thick with fast-cooling products such as the name of the export declaration, or even providing false samples, evade Customs supervision departments to achieve the purpose of smuggling.

The industry also said that China's strategic rare earth metals, rare earth smuggling to China has brought huge losses, while smuggling enterprises are highly profitable.

Chinese customs authorities in the investigation of cases of smuggling of rare earth, rare earth phosphors with talcum powder, flour smuggling under the name commonly used means to become criminals, smuggling of rare earth alloy form is a more subtle means of smuggling.

In the August 8, 2012, at the "Fourth Rare Earth Industry (International) Forum", China Rare Earth Industry Association, Marong Zhang said that in 2011 the export volume of rare formal channels 18,600 tons (physical quantity), while foreign buying China to nearly 40,000 tons of rare earth, rare earth imports overseas export statistics of China Customs statistics higher than 1.2 times the rampant smuggling of rare earth.

Two years ago, the rapid rise in the price of rare earth products, sparking a boom in the development of rare earth resources abroad, hundreds of rare earth projects have started. But for now, the global downturn in economic performance, rare earth prices continue to fall, corporate environmental and cost pressures continue to increase, resulting in full swing once encountered resistance abroad RE project development, showing signs of slowing down. This is a reporter last week to attend the Fifth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum learned.
    
"The global economic growth is weak and rare earth prices fell sharply on the progress of construction projects abroad, the impact should not be underestimated, although the world's supply of rare earth diversified pattern being formed, but the process is slowing down." China Rare Earth Association Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Anwen told reporters.
    
He introduced a few years ago, by the rare-earth prices skyrocketing, the downstream surge in demand, tight supply and other multiple factors, the United States, Australia, Russia, India, Vietnam, Brazil and other countries have started before the resumption of rare earth ore has been discontinued, or start new project development of rare earth resources. Currently, foreign production of rare earth miners have three, including the United States, Mountain Pass mine, Weld mine in Australia, Russia's Kola Peninsula mines, these mines with an annual output of thousands of tons to 25,000 tons from range. In addition, Vietnam, India, Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, South Africa and other countries are also building a number of rare earth resources development projects, but the progress of these projects may be slightly different schedule. The global economic downturn, cost and environmental pressures and large cases, these projects have not been put into operation of production, yet take time to put into operation.

Recently there is news that China rare earth neodymium companies ready to join forces against the United States prosecute Japan's Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent "unreasonable dominate" in order to obtain the right to life.
    
It is reported that if all goes well, the Chinese companies involved in the prosecution list will be finalized at the end of August, the related follow-up work will also be launched in September. In the rare earth export quotas because problems caused by the World Trade Organization (WTO) lawsuit "pending" on the occasion, which again from patent litigation is likely to lead to trade shocks.
    
Since Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent applications in the United States, so that only Chinese companies have patents authorized to export to the U.S. market. This reporter has learned that at present, China has more than 200 NdFeB production enterprises, but to obtain patents Hitachi Metals NdFeB enterprises only three rings, etc. 8, and Hitachi Metals has decided not to increase the authorized Chinese companies number.
    
If she lost the lawsuit, meaning Hitachi Metals patent continuation in the next ten years may be longer, except to obtain patents for eight domestic enterprises, other enterprises NdFeB products have become illegal exports, only in domestic sales.
    
Organization Chinese rare earth enterprises sue Japanese companies Hitachi Metals, the initiator of the patent monopoly, Shenyang in the north, Magnetic Technology Co., Ltd. Chairman Bao-Yu Sun to the International Business Daily reporters, related companies have held two special meetings, estimated there will be about 10 companies involved in litigation. "In September we will employ both domestic and foreign lawyers in charge of this case, we present the main companies in the domestic market, probably three or four million, if we can enter the international market, the market share is expected to rise to fifty-six billion, or more. "
    
Insiders believe that "winning is very difficult, depending on the extension of patent applications in Japan are in line with international practice. Northwest China Most companies rely mainly on low labor costs and other resources, product quality and quality are low, if you have been dependent on the international market, will always be controlled by others, after all, not a long-term trail. "
    
The source pointed out that "if the lawsuit fails, most of the domestic enterprises will exit the international market NdFeB, patented by the small businesses instead. NdFeB domestic market, which will lead to re-shuffle, re-distribution pattern. Who span the end, who will win the domestic cost of production companies tend to break the impasse, it is difficult to overcome the difficulties of manufacturing patent. "
    
Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Weiqi Ning believes that the major rare earth enterprises jointly sued Hitachi Metals practices worthy of recognition, but for now, remains to be seen whether in favor of the U.S. laws and regulations will determine the ultimate outcome.
    
Order Bao-Yu Sun felt a glimmer of hope that, after, Hitachi Metals in the United States launched the "337" survey, involving regular sea Magnets (300,224, stock it) and other three Chinese companies, and ultimately, this three companies reached a settlement with Hitachi Metals and obtained after NdFeB those patents. "We have about 10 companies, is still very hopeful of winning the lawsuit in Japan last one core technology patents expire in 2014, some of the remaining patent is about production methods, the basic core of a patent is not strong . "he said.

Rare is called "industrial vitamins" in the petroleum, chemical, metallurgy and other fields have a wide range of applications. China's rare earth storage capacity has been the first in the world, but also has been responsible for the global supply of rare earth. However in recent years, China's rare earth storage capacity declining abroad has also been engaged in the mining, production of rare earth production chain, China's rare earth industry thriving situation will be broken. Coupled with the existence of their own domestic industry "black chain" and many other issues, making China's rare earth industry is facing serious challenges, many rare earth companies stock prices continued to fall. However, in the August 7, issued by the Ministry of Governance rare earth industry special action plan, but also to revive confidence in the market, each rare earth stocks have soared.

Champoux consulting industry analysts believe that the rare earth industry challenged by the domestic political and economic factors lead, but the Government may take reasonable measures integration of the domestic rare earth industry in order to improve the industry's international competitiveness.

Since the government introduced a series of policies to protect rare earth resources rational development of rare earth resources once farewell "cabbage price" historical prices rose sharply, as many people profiteering ways. However, since 2010, rare earth prices began to decline. On the one hand because of falling demand, the financial crisis, whether domestic or abroad, the phenomenon of poor recovery, consumer fatigue, weak demand, demand for rare earths is decreased, on the other hand there are a number of foreign countries have been engaged in the development of rare earth production projects under construction or proposed, breaking the Chinese rare earth supply situation in the world, diverting a part of China, market share, resulting in a serious decline in corporate profits, allegedly over half net profit fell Baotou Steel Rare Earth, which had to take measures to stop the Poly. In addition, the domestic rare earth industry itself there are also major issues, namely, "black industry chain" rampant. 2011, rare earth prices rise once, attracted a large number of "black" enterprises, privately mining and tax evasion, profiteering, causing confusion in the market, industry-wide downturn in profits.

And the Ministry of the special action plan said that from August 15 onwards, the joint Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Environment Protection and other eight ministries, to carry out a three-month fight against rare earth mining, production and circulation of illegal irregularities special events. Minister of Industry and the following day, "the Fifth China Industry Forum", once again shows the country's determination to combat illegal exploitation and to promote industry mergers and acquisitions. To focus on hitting and integration of the special action, no doubt the market has injected confidence in the collective rare earth stocks soaring.

In the "2013-2017 China rare earth market research report" is mentioned, Chinese rare earth development still faces challenges, reasonable and effective measures to promote the country can promote its further development. However, the challenges facing the rare earth industry, not the State's determination to stand can be resolved, but also requires a sound institutional framework and standardize market order.
