"There is oil in the Middle East, and rare earth in China." This is what Deng Xiaoping said in 1992. However, rare earths, which are more precious than oil, have failed to make a fortune for China. However, Japan, the United States and other large countries using rare earth resources, through the purchase of cheap rare earth in China, establish a "deep hidden" strategic reserve. It is reported that Japan's rare earth found in the sea for at least 20 years.
China's largest rare earth mine in which:
Our country has rich rare earth mineral resources, excellent metallogenic conditions, is unique, proven reserves in the world first, for the development of China's rare earth industry provides a solid foundation.
China accounted for 41.36% of the world's rare earth resources , is a truly large country of rare earth resources. Rare earth resources are extremely rich, the distribution is also extremely reasonable, which lays a solid foundation for the development of China's rare earth industry. ?? The main rare earth ore are Bayan Obo rare earth ore, Shandong Weishan rare earth mine, Mianning rare earth mine, Jiangxi weathering shell deposits of rare earth ore, Hunan brown yttrium niobium ore and the long beach coast sand and so on.
Bayan Obo rare earth ore and iron symbiosis, the main rare earth minerals are bastnaesite and monazite, the ratio of 3: 1, have reached the rare earth recovery grade, so that the mixed ore, total REO reserves of 35 million tons, accounting for about 38% of the world's reserves, called the world's largest rare earth mine. Weishan rare earth mine and Mianning rare earth mine is mainly bastnaesite, associated with barite, etc., is a relatively simple class composed of rare earth ore.
Jiangxi weathering crust deposited rare earth ore is a new type of rare earth minerals, its relatively simple process of dressing and smelting, and contains a high content of rare earth, is a very competitive market for rare earth mines.
China's beach sand is also extremely rich in the coastline of the South China Sea and the island of Hainan Island, Taiwan coastline can be called the coast of gold deposits of the Gold Coast, the modern deposits of sand and pale sand, monazite and xenotrope is the treatment Seashore sand is recovered as a byproduct when ilmenite and zircon are recovered.In short, China's large reserves of rare earth resources, minerals and rare earth elements, rare earth grade, mine distribution and reasonable
Chinese rare earth Why do you want to export :
Why China must export, because China's rare earth mining, manufacturing, processing industry has been quite mature, especially the refining of this link has been in the forefront of the world. Suddenly, China has drastically reduced its exports (in fact, the quotas have not been reduced at all but prices), which has a great impact on the world.Although there are several large foreign countries and resource mines, but the long-term dependence on China's exports make their related industry chain are not perfect. Many countries import our products are directly imported finished products, and our country in recent years rarely exported ore (after all, the Chinese are not stupid, who earn a lot of processing who do not?).
Australia, the United States, Vietnam and other all have mines, but wait until they are estimated to be operating even slightly longer or longer. In fact, these countries do not want China to integrate rare earths, because of this, China's rare earth industry in the world as well as the extension of the industry's right to speak of growing.
Japan and the United States are China's largest trading partners of rare earths. Rare earth is a strategic reserve for Japan to buy and the United States to buy rare earth resources to protect their own country. At present, China has begun to put the rare earths strategic materials at a high level, they are very nervous, after all, China is the world's first deposit of rare earths and the largest producer, though a lot of waste before.
China's past rare earth exports :
When China decided to limit the export of rare earths, Japan repeatedly urged China to expand the exports of rare earths. China has clearly rejected such unreasonable demands.
Japan puts high pressure on China
The so-called rare earth, refers to the periodic table of the chemical element lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), a total of 17 kinds of rare metal elements. Rare earth can be widely used in various high-tech fields such as hybrid vehicles, mobile phones, superconductors and precision guided weapons , and therefore hasthe reputation of "21st Century Gold".
Since 2007, China began to implement mandatory planning for rare earth production and began to reduce rare earth exports. This year, the export quota of rare earth products issued by the Ministry of Commerce has plummeted by 40% over 2009. It is reported that China's export quotas of rare earth will continue to shrink next year. China's measures to limit the export of rare earths have aroused strong reactions in the United States, Europe, Japan and other western countries. Last June, the United States and the European Union appealed to WTO the restriction of China's exports of strategic materials such as rare earth. Recently, Japan has also added a high profile to join the ranks of putting pressure on China.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said in mid-August that the market price of some rare earth elements had risen 20% since China announced a reduction in export rare earths in July of this year. Japanese media also added that many of Japan's related companies are "nervous" by China's rare earth restriction order and the consequent rise in prices. At the high-level economic dialogue between China and Japan held in Beijing last week, Japan even persistently referred to the rare earth issue to China on many occasions and demanded that China relax restrictions on the export of rare earths. Suddenly reducing the export of rare earths is "affecting global production Chain. "
The Chinese government has given a rational and vigorous response to the Japanese government's heavy pressure. Chinese Minister of Commerce Chen Deming emphasized during the high-level economic dialogue between China and Japan that the restriction on the export of rare earths is due to the consideration of comprehensive factors such as promoting economic development as well as protecting the environment and national security. China is not restricting the export of rare earths, but restricting the entire chain of mining, production and trade. Such a move is in line with the WTO rules.
Reporter noted that for the Chinese government's response to the Japanese pressure on the issue of rare earth, as well as China's recent implementation of the strategy of rare earth, Chinese netizens almost unanimously applauded. A netizen said: "As early as this, limiting the export of rare earth ... ... related to the lifeblood of the country ah!" There netizens said: "support for export restrictions, we can not always sell what, what is synonymous with cheap goods!
Japan depletes China rare earth
Analysts believe that Japan is so sensitive to China's restrictions on the export of rare earths. In fact, it is not hard to understand that as nearly 90% of Japan's rare earths are imported from China, it is China's largest beneficiary of cheap rare earths.
Rare earth industry insiders in China pointed out that Japan is currently the world with the highest added value of rare earth to achieve the highest value, the rare earth for high-tech fields accounted for more than 90% of its total consumption . By importing low-cost rare earth materials from China and then selling the processed high-tech products, Japan can make huge economic gains. Because after processing rare earth prices are often comparable to gold and diamonds.
As we all know, China is the world's richest country in rare earth resources, reserves account for about one-third of the world, but the current output has accounted for 95% ofthe world . In the 1990s, China started large-scale exploitation of rare earths and exported them. Under the low cost of exploitation (without considering environmental costs), China's cheap rare earth ruled the world market and most of the countries stopped the exploitation of rare earths.
