In recent days, there have been rumors about the international community's response to China's rare earth monopoly. Finally it came out gradually.

According to a report by the New York Times, the United States has recently discovered large rare earth deposits with both light and heavy rare earths in the Diamond River area of Idaho and the Lemhai Pass on the border between Idaho and Montana.

If the U.S. Rare Earth Mining Company's assessment of these deposits is accurate, these two discoveries could meet the domestic demand for rare earths in the United States for a long time, and Iowa is known as the U.S. Rare Earth State.

The CEO of the U.S. Rare Earth Mining Corporation said that it can now be determined that the Diamond River area is the largest and least difficult rare earth mine in North America, and that there are power plants and roads not far from the above-mentioned production area, and it will soon be put into production. However, these deposits are expensive to mine, and companies need to invest about $500 million or even billions of dollars.

The U.S. media also pointed out that Idaho's rare earth exploration started as early as five years ago, but then because the project is not urgent and delayed for a long time, recently because China has been raising the price of rare earth exports, controlling the number of rare earth exports, resulting in a surge in rare earth prices in the international market, which makes the relevant exploration work reactive, and Russia previously listed rare earth reserves and production data as state secrets, the importance of rare earth resources is becoming increasingly prominent.

However, according to the media in the United States, the exploration of rare earths does not mean that it is complete, and the United States has different links in the whole process from re-exploring rare earth states to putting rare earth resources into use. Significant challenges remain. In addition to the high cost of mining, the processing and separation of rare earths is very difficult and complex. As a result, it is likely that most of the rare earths mined by Uncle Sam will end up in China, which has its unique rare earth separation facilities.

The problem that cannot be ignored is that the United States still has to face the challenge of insufficient reserves of rare earth resources and poor access to them. Data shows that China's rare earth resources are currently the most abundant in the world, about six times that of the United States. At the same time, the U.S. Congress also agrees that the dominant position in the global supply and production of rare earths belongs to China, which means that the United States does not have the initiative to obtain rare earth resources in its own hands in the future.

Members of the US House of Representatives also recently put forward a motion suggesting that the United States adopt measures to establish a globally competitive domestic strategic raw material industry, ensure self-sufficiency in the US domestic market, and diversify mining, processing, smelting, and manufacturing. At the same time, the bill also requires the Ministry of National Defense to start purchasing rare earth minerals that are critical to national security and include them in the national reserve, especially after the law comes into effect, the defense reserve center should directly purchase rare earths from China for use in the next five years.

In addition, the bill calls for confirmation of the current global rare earth market conditions, foreign countries' judgments on their strategic value, and the vulnerability of the Pentagon and domestic manufacturing rare earth supply chains, etc., and requires the U.S. federal government's Secretaries of Defense, Commerce, Energy, the Interior, and the Secretary of State to appoint assistant secretaries to form a special interagency working group to assess the rare earth resource supply chain and decide on rare earth raw materials that are critical to national and economic security.

Some analysts have pointed out that the bill does not require federal investment, and industry is also inclined to legislate policies rather than seek large-scale financial support. This shows that the proposal and related moves in the industry are more to emphasize the rise of rare earth resource reserves to a strategic level, and the United States has clearly accelerated the adjustment of its own rare earth strategic reserves. "Ziqi on the TV screen is discussing with the guests about the recent series of rare earth policies in Europe, the United States and Japan towards China." In fact, Europe has also made the same choice in a similar situation to the United States, not long ago, the European Union announced the establishment of rare earth strategic reserves, the European Union will seek to establish a better and less vulnerable raw material access channel in the global market, increase the exploration and exploitation of raw materials within Europe, and the EU will also improve the efficiency of raw material utilization, shorten the recycling cycle, in order to reduce the EU's demand for raw materials. ”

"Rare earths are known as industrial vitamins and have extremely important uses in the military field, especially in missile guidance. China controls more than ninety percent of the world's rare earth resource production, Deng Gong once compared China's rare earths with the oil of the Middle East, overseas media said that OPEC can only control about two-thirds of the world's oil reserves, but China can control ninety-three percent of rare earths, but we must also see that China has been supplying rare earths cheaply to the world at the price of Chinese cabbage for many years, and now China wants to rearrange this resource and control its exports, and the West is shouting that China wants to tighten the world's neck, which is unfair! One of the panelists, who was a panelist, objected to the views of Europe and the United States.

Shen Ying was sitting on the sofa drinking porridge, and when she saw Fan Wuxian watching the "Daily Financial Interview" program hosted by Ziqi, she said with a smile. "What kind of mood should it be to watch a TV show hosted by a lover in front of your wife?"

Fan Wuxian had already adapted to Shen Ying's strange questions, and scratched his head when he heard this, "The mood, it should be more complicated." ”

Shen Ying was about to continue to ask him what complicated the method was, when Fan Wuxi's phone rang again.

Fan Wuxian picked it up and listened to it for a while, but the relationship has always been good, and Sheng Wei, a beautiful reporter from "Oriental News Interview", called over, hoping to interview Fan Wuxian about the rare earth situation that has recently begun to be hyped.

"Well—" Fan Wuxian thought about it for a moment, then looked at Shen Ying before replying, "Okay." ”

The next day, Fan Wuxian saw that Shen Ying's condition was better, so he didn't let her go to the infusion again, for ordinary people, if there is no experience of infusion, or one time can solve the problem, of course, this also depends on the situation, if the inflammation is more severe, then you have to follow the doctor's instructions to infuse enough.

The company in Lingxi Province in the middle of the country called and said that Pang Mingyu's case had finally reached a preliminary conclusion, and that it was going to be sentenced to 11 years for embezzlement, bribery, and dereliction of duty, but that Yang Lili's husband Ji Yongqing and others were still sentenced to a very high sentence, and although the death sentence imposed in the first and second trials was abolished, they still had to be sentenced to 15 years in prison.

"Lingxi Province's cover-up psychology is still quite serious." Fan Wuxi was very dissatisfied with this. If we look at Pang Mingyu's crimes and their harmfulness, it is more appropriate to give a death sentence, and the deterrent effect on criminals is also better.

The so-called eleven years in prison, when it comes to the deputy ministerial level, it is estimated that he will not even need two years to come out and hang out, Fan Wuxian doesn't want to see Pang Mingyu swaggering on the streets and mountains with the money from corruption in another two years, so he feels that he should do something.

Of course, this meaning can't be said directly from your own mouth, in that case, even if a businessman interferes in politics, this impact is relatively bad, and you also need to take care of your identity, and you can't cross the line, otherwise it is easy to cause suspicion, so this matter still has to let Lingxi save a lot of effort.

So Fan Wuxian showed a little bit of tone with the branch of Lingxi Province, which means that he felt that the conditions of Lingxi Province were still a little worse than those of brother provinces, and the possibility of being a major aviation manufacturing base was relatively small, or this aviation manufacturing base would be selected in the developed eastern provinces.

This intention soon reached the ears of Guan Luping, the governor of Lingxi Province, and he suddenly felt that the news was a little strange.

As the governor of Lingxi Province, Guan Luping has regular contact with the Lingxi Branch of Fan's Investment Group, especially after the recent inspection of the entire Lingxi Province by Fan's father and son, the provincial government's attention to the Lingxi Branch of Fan's Investment Group has increased by more than one grade.

This time, the intention to deal with Pang Mingyu's case could reach Fan Wuxi's ears so quickly. In fact, it was also the information exchange between them and the Lingxi branch of Fan's Investment Group, and Fan Wuxi's feedback at this time was obviously a little different from the previous consideration.

Then the only possibility is probably that Fan Wuxi was very dissatisfied with Pang Mingyu's handling opinions, so he proposed the location of the transfer of the aviation industry manufacturing base.

But Guan Luping also felt a little embarrassed, in the Pang Mingyu case, although the influence that Lingxi Province can exert is there, but it will not be very large, the most important thing is to look at the opinions above, although the top level means to deal with it realistically, but there have been people in the middle of the link to obstruct. As a result, this case gradually transformed into a weakened Pang Mingyu's crime, and Lingxi Province had little influence on it.

Besides, even Guan Luping is a provincial-level cadre, and even Guan Luping is unwilling to fall into the trap at this time, otherwise it will cause no matter what kind of backlash it will cause, and the influence on his own people in the future will be very bad.

Therefore, Guan Luping discussed it with others, and added the information on Pang Mingyu's crime, which was enough to make him bear the main responsibility in this case, thinking that this time he would probably be able to send Pang Mingyu to heaven, right?

Just after they passed the new treatment plan to Fan Wuxi, the judge in charge of hearing the case said that it would be 20 years at most, and that it would not be considered if it was more, and that Lingxi Province did not need to provide new evidence.

After this news reached Fan Wuxi's ears, Fan Wuxian immediately became angry, if he originally hoped to give Pang Mingyu a life sentence that he would be more satisfied, then his current mind is that Pang Mingyu must be sentenced to death.

The opinions of several members of the Politburo Standing Committee are not respected, and the people in the middle are too bold!

Therefore, Fan Wuzhi made it very clear that if Pang Mingyu did not die, the environment of Lingxi Province would not be quiet, and not only the aviation manufacturing base would not be able to reach Lingxi Province, but also other investments of Fan's Investment Group would not consider Lingxi Province again.

Although they are not sure whether this is also the meaning of Fan Heng and other high-level officials, at least the situation in front of them is that once Fan's Investment Group no longer considers investing in Lingxi Province, and the new aviation manufacturing base does not consider Lingxi Province, it will directly cause Lingxi Province to not be able to enjoy a piece of the rich cake that originally belonged to them in the next few years.

What do officials rely on to get to power? Not a political achievement? If the aviation manufacturing base led by Fan Wuzhi really settles in Lingxi Province, then the huge investment will make the economy of Lingxi Province take off rapidly, not to mention how much the whole plan will promote Lingxi Province in the long run.

If he offends Fan Wuxian or even Fan Heng behind him because of Pang Mingyu's affairs, not only will it not be his turn to do good things in the economy, but even in terms of promotion and appointment, he will not be able to pass the decision vote that Fan Heng has as a member of the Standing Committee! In the eyes of those Standing Committee members, whether they approve or deny, it is just a matter of a passing thought. But for those provincial officials who want to be promoted, it is equivalent to a verdict that determines life and death!

Figuring out the intentions of the leader has always been the first priority for officials to practice, at this time such an obvious leadership intention is in front of him, how to choose, that is at a glance, at this time to Pang Mingyu, although he can't get rid of the suspicion of falling into the well, but it is the best time for himself to serve Fan Heng and Fan Wuji's father and son.

Once they have been cared for by their father and son in both the political and business worlds, Soaring is just around the corner.

After figuring out this situation, there will be no more hesitation in how to choose.

Therefore, Guan Luping arranged it, and immediately more bad deeds about Pang Mingyu were released, and several murders were also exposed, all of which were involved in Pang Mingyu's body.

In fact, once the grassroots level tears off the skin, after a certain person must be put to death, it can burst out with enough strength, just like now, bite Pang Mingyu and hold on, even the higher court has nothing to do, this kind of thing can only be done within a certain extent, once it exceeds a certain bottom line, they can't bear this pressure.

And the biggest obstacle to this matter is that the attitude of the grassroots and the upper level towards Pang Mingyu is the same, so it is too difficult to operate.

So two days later, the verdict on Pang Mingyu came down, the death penalty.

But in order to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts, Ji Yongqing and others involved in the case were also sentenced to death, which can be regarded as accompanying Pang Mingyu to be martyred.

In this regard, Fan Wuxian has no opinion, his wife can send out the leader to play, that character is not much better, follow the leader to the court together, and if he dies, he will die a well-deserved death, anyway, everyone is burdened. There are no pop-ups
