Japan's coastal waters are considered rich in methane hydrates and rare earth resources.

Japanese government in order to improve the efficiency of marine resources surveys, plans to develop a means of artificial satellites, unmanned exploration in land remote control machine technology. This will not only reduce the researchers investigating the long-term stay in the boat and financial burden, but also in the research center on land, researchers in various fields to share survey data for analysis and efficient operations. In the year 2018 the Japanese government and strive to push the technology to practical use.

The current exploration of marine resources in the exploration waters are usually put in the exploration ship from the seabed exploration unmanned aircraft, and direct control and monitoring of exploration machine work through exploration ship. In order to carry out the exploration work, researchers sometimes have to stay on board a few weeks to several months.

The Japanese government plans to serve as an independent administrative agency of the Japanese marine research and development institutions and research institutes in Japan as the backbone of information and communication, development aid of artificial satellite technology and high-speed communication network exploration ship, unmanned aircraft and ground exploration research center connected.

And observing the image data collected will unmanned exploration machine real-time transmission to the ground research centers, and researchers in various fields will be analyzed by utilizing a wide range of data. Also consider in the future will also use more unmanned exploration machine, one-time large-scale sea exploration.

China news agency, Hohhot, February 4 (Wu Yao and Cai Yajun) - Hohhot Customs announced on the 4th: 2014 total Chinese exports of rare earth 28,000 tons, the overall trend showing a drop in price increase in volume.

According to Hohhot Customs material shows 2014 China's total exports of rare earth 28,000 tons, an increase of 27.3% over last year (below), the value of 2.3 billion yuan (RMB), down 35.6%; average export price per tonne over the same period 83,000 yuan, down 47.8 percent. Among these, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia and Beijing top three provinces for exports of rare earths.

According to statistics, Japan has become China's largest rare earth export market, in 2014 China's exports to Japan of rare earth 12,000 tons, an increase of 50 percent, accounting for 42.9%; the United States ranked second, accounting for 32.1%.

Hohhot Customs materials also show that in 2014 China's rare earth exports increase in volume as a whole showed a drop in price trend. This is so, mainly because the US manufacturing reflux affects Chinese demand growth driven by rare earth rare earth exports; high-tech field of rare earth rare earth materials to popularize driving increased demand; shortage of rare earth overcapacity and lead to lower demand for rare earth prices continue to fall; to promote national quota increase export volume increased, while weak demand restricted exports of rare earths prices.

RE market temporarily held steady today, because recent changes in the market for some products faster or because no goods out, some vendors said that before watching the market, do not quote or offer steady or offer unrealistically high. Currently dysprosium, terbium products market relatively strong, businesses offer more frequent adjustments, praseodymium, neodymium market inquiry also occurred.

According to a trader Ganzhou terbium oxide, said now there is a business report quotes 3700 yuan / kg, but the actual transaction price is not so high. Also dysprosium market, vendors offer 1.65 million / ton, the actual transaction price is slightly lower, trading volume is not large. Another local businesses that trade is indeed out of stock, source of supply for two days to know the price of dysprosium were more than 1.6 million. In addition, dysprosium, terbium price of Chinese rare earth products industry associations also appeared significantly upregulated.

Market prices for raw materials, downstream demand businesses stay on the sidelines or on-demand procurement basic mentality, there are companies that this year the South Magnetic overall business is bad, poor earnings, will leave immediately, to rising raw material prices and not so positive attention.

For the rally, some traders have expressed the hope that the price can rise further performance, the current price is relatively high cost of inventory available before, or whether low.

If the rare earth export tariffs were canceled, smuggling of rare earth profits will be significantly reduced and bear greater risk, then the enterprise will naturally turn to informal channels, smuggling of rare earth or will disappear.

January 21, at a regular press conference held at the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang, announced that, in accordance with changes in domestic and international market development, and approval of the State Council, the Ministry of Commerce decided to January 1, 2015 start Cancel rare earth export quotas and export tariffs retain until May 2, 2015. In other words, beginning May 2 of this year, China will abolish tariffs on exports of rare earths.

While the industry has long predicted will cancel tariffs on exports of rare earths, but I did not expect such a fast pace. For the cancellation of export tariffs and export quotas of rare earth will soon be canceled, said Shen Danyang, which is to co-ordinate domestic and foreign markets, a specific trade policy options and resources, and is in line with the reform of resource products management system for a domestic rare earth measures, while also considering a policy adjustment related WTO rulings execution carried out.

Elimination of export duties or suppress smuggling

Rare earth export tariffs or canceled on May 2 this year the news came out, the secondary market for rare earth permanent magnet plates listed company's share price has reacted, sweeping away the haze a few days ago.

For rare earth export restrictions regime or to cancel, some analysts believe that this means that the full realization of the export of rare earth market management. The future management of the rare earth industry will be fully implemented in the domestic administration, however, leaving the country's rare earth industry regulation time only six months, hitting, resource tax reform, improve environmental protection and the effective purchasing and storage will become the next focus.

Since 2011, China's rare earth industry has experienced four years of adjustment, the bottom of the cycle itself has already reversed basis, the current price has dropped to the bottom of the industry recognized and less inventory has not become decisive suppress prices factors, in addition to the rare earth continued hitting some areas, the effect is significant. The analysts believe that China loses WTO fully liberalized under the forced exit can be considered a landmark event in China's rare earth industry, will accelerate the promotion of products such as rare earth resources management reform, or for high-level government renewed attention to the rare earth industry opportunity will improve the strategic position of the rare earth industry in the country.

Prior to review, because the existence of export quotas, many companies difficult to obtain export quotas, smuggling has become their means. Although many ministries have jointly controlled, but did not eradicate this phenomenon. Data show that, when in 2001, overseas Chinese rare earth export import statistics are statistics of 1.2 times, which means that the amount of rare earths smuggling has accounted for 120% of normal exports. So Insiders expect, if at all export quotas and export duties cancellation, will curb smuggling of rare earth on a certain extent.

In this regard, the Executive President of China WTO Research Institute of Foreign Trade University, Tu Xinquan think, after export quotas of rare earth is expected to significantly reduce smuggling. "After all, as long as the buyer, have a contract you can get the rare earth export license, we can engage in the export of rare earth."

Analysts more bluntly, the current Chinese export tariffs will light rare earth products to 15%, the heavy rare earth export tariffs to 25 percent in export quotas, export duties have not yet cancellation, smuggling of rare earth is still profitable. If the rare earth export tariffs have been canceled, the profit will be significantly reduced smuggling of rare earth and must bear a greater risk, then the enterprise will naturally turn to informal channels, smuggling of rare earth or will disappear.

Resource tax will be adjusted after the abolition of tariffs

It is worth noting that since the export quota has been canceled, canceled export duties soon, if China's rare earth resources incur a huge loss of it?

For the above speculation, the industry generally believe that if the export tariffs canceled, then the rare earth resources tax is bound to be adjusted. Since April 2011 China began to implement a new rare earth resources tax levied by ore, ore resource tax north of 60 yuan / ton, the South ore resource tax is 30 yuan / ton, after collection of standards for 0.5 yuan / ton - 3 yuan / ton. Market sources said rare earth resources tax levied by the way "from the amount of taxable" to "ad valorem." Northern light rare earth resources in accordance with the 22% tax rate will be levied, South ion mine will follow 35% taxable. Insiders pointed out that, according to the 22% tax rate to 35% of taxable resources tax, coincided with the rare earth export duties levied amplitude coincide "countries are likely to cancel the impact of countervailing duties by the resource tax reform." Many analysts had the case told reporters.

Industry analysts had a case, said: "From the national strategic sense, on the one hand, the state does not want to rare earth prices drop too low, on the other hand, the state always wanted to control pricing of rare earth, rare earth to keep possession in China. "

"But, by the resource tax adjustment only in one direction instead of the current export duties, as the fundamental goal of limiting exports of rare earths, it must protect the environment, conserve resources, since it is necessary to protect the control of production, rather than the control of trade, is a small mining fundamental. "stakeholders have rare Earth Society, told reporters.

However, although the rare earth resources tax instead of export duties may be the general direction, but in the rare earth mining areas is still difficult to completely control the tax. Thus, the domestic resource tax to replace tariffs will be a gradual process. In China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng opinion, in the short term, the price of rare earth after liberalization policy and will not be much affected, because the export price itself is determined by supply and demand.

"Theoretically speaking, in order to raise prices, the shift to a resource tax tariff which is possible, but the reality is concerned, due to the illegal exploitation of a very serious, China needs to further strengthen the development of rare earth resources and orderly management. To stabilize rare earth prices, specification management of rare earth mining, the key lies in a variety of relevant laws, including environmental laws, whether the strict implementation of the Mineral Resources. "Chen Zhanheng had said.
