Why the West of double standards on China Rare Earth?

Hohhot Customs released data show that January-October 2013 , Inner Mongolia exported 4,276 tons of rare earth , accounting for 24.4 % of total exports over the same period China's rare earth . The average export price per ton was $ 1.04 trillion , down 59.4 percent , continuing downward trend . It is understood that the vast majority of exports of rare earths from Baotou, exports amounted to 3,950.8 tons ; exit way to the general trade export , exports to the United States 2,173.6 tons , more than 50% of the total .

These data , if coupled with other parts of China 's rare earth export to the United States , the number will be more. Despite our exports of rare earths to the U.S., EU and Japan gradually increased, but they are still restricted to the WTO of China's rare earth export prosecution , resulting in our losing .

Looking back, 2011 , the United States , the European Union and Mexico against China on the implementation of various industrial raw materials and export quotas in favor of the appeal WTO example , allow them to challenge China's rare earth export policy has emboldened . China accounts for about 23 % of the world 's rare earth reserves provides market size and trade size of more than 90% , but China's rare earth on the world market do not have pricing power , prices have been at low levels. Inner Mongolia Rare Earth exports to the U.S. average of $ 10,400 per ton , down 59.4 %.

Logically , in order to protect the environment and the implementation of China's rare earth export management measures do not violate WTO rules . Our private mining aimed at curbing excessive digging and protecting the ecological environment of rare earth export management measures should be supported by the developed countries claim to want to protect the environment .

However , the United States , the European Union on China's critics who believe that China 's rare earth export restrictions on the one hand is to create a competitive advantage for domestic industries, on the other hand also want to make large foreign enterprises easier access to rare earth raw materials and the production line of the factory moved to China to go.

In fact, the United States, Canada , Australia and other countries have also found that a large rare earth deposits , but because of high labor costs , coupled with strict environmental standards , increase the rare earth mining and production costs in these countries , they will either limit the country's rare earth mining production, or production or semi- production. As a result of China's rare earth production accounted for more than 90% of world consumption , can easily be considered to be in a monopoly position in the U.S. and other countries , which they accused of being sued even to the WTO .

Any fairness of the game must be built on a premise that " everyone must abide by the same rules of the game ." However , Western countries imposed on China's rare earth "double standards" on the one hand a large number of China's rare earth imports , on the other hand, China's rare earth policy gesticulating , reflecting the severe economic and trade pattern of unreasonable in today's world , more prominent the reform of the current world trade patterns urgency.
