"Judging from the current media orientation of the United States, the hype is nothing more than one thing, China's quota reduction in rare earth exports threatens the national security of the United States." Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei, "From this topic, it can be seen that the United States still sees China as a raw material market that can be grabbed at will." ”

The media has always been an important tool of public opinion manipulated by the government, especially in some official and semi-official media, this special role is more obvious, and the governments of Europe and the United States are naturally also masters of playing with the media.

It is not uncommon for the sake of a political goal to use the media to make a big deal and to achieve their own demands of agitating people, and the most typical example is that the armed intervention of the Americans and EUFOR in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the recent period of time is actually using the media to publicize the outbreak of a humanitarian crisis in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and how many innocent nationalities have fallen under the butcher's knife of the Milosevic government.

Using this excuse, the European and American coalition forces entered Belgrade, but in fact the massacre was completely false, but a large number of war refugees were caused by the entry of the European and American coalition troops, and as for the massacre that was originally hyped up, there was no evidence at all.

By this time, the European and American coalition forces had kept silent about the so-called massacre, and the official media had unanimously chosen to remain silent on the issue, as if it had never happened.

The impartiality of the Western media is evident from this.

Fan Wuzhi has been reducing the export volume of rare earth primary products, which is true, and some Western media have also begun to worry, saying that if China strictly restricts the export of rare earths, the large-scale manufacturing industry in Western countries will face a situation of no rice to cook.

Rare earth is not soil, it is an important strategic resource, especially an important raw material for high-tech industries, such as some precision strike weapons in military equipment, some auto parts and high-tech products, all rely on components made of rare earth metals.

This scarce strategic resource is mainly concentrated in China, so some Western media have commented that it is China that gets God's favor when it comes to allocating this precious resource.

According to public information from Western countries, China is the only country that can provide all 17 rare earth metals, accounting for 95 percent of the world's reserves, and is a veritable rare earth power, with Japan, Europe and North America as its main markets.

"In fact, China does not occupy a large proportion of the world's rare earth reserves, and this figure itself is misleading." Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei, "Americans have always liked to plunder the resources of other countries, in fact, the rare earth reserves in the United States are also very large, as for Russia, he has never made the rare earth reserves public, and how many rare earth resources can be made public is a very mysterious number in the entire international community." ”

"Mr. Fan, do you mean that the Western media have been misleading the public on the issue of rare earths?" Sheng Wei asked, she felt that this was a very critical question.

"That's exactly what happened." Fan Wuxian nodded and replied.

Although rare earth resources have great monopoly potential in China, they have been sold to the price of soil for many years, and the pricing power has been in the hands of Europe and the United States.

Due to the lack of constraints of the rare earth export guild, there is no coordination among various places in the country, competing for exports, for the interests of the department or local interests, competing to reduce prices, and consuming domestic rare earth resources too much, this situation also exists in some other mineral resources, such as tungsten ore, such as coal mines, and some other very important mineral resources.

China's large exports of rare earths for many years have led to countries such as Europe and the United States hoarding at extremely low prices every year, and once there is a shortage of rare earth resources, they can easily take out a large amount of rare earth reserves purchased from China to suppress Chinese prices.

"Controlling exports, from China's point of view, is based on long-term interests and economic interests. It is reasonable for us to impose export restrictions on some resources that can have a certain price impact. Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei, "But I found a problem, many so-called experts and scholars in China are vigorously advocating for foreigners at this time, saying that the market economy should not carry out government means to restrict exports, otherwise it is not conducive to China's work to join the TO and so on." ”

"Well, I've heard a lot of that too, and it's really very confusing." Sheng Wei replied.

"In fact, restricting the export of rare metals is not contrary to WTO rules." Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei, "In the TO multilateral trading system, there is no strict regulation on the issue of a country's export restrictions, and at the same time, as a Chinese government, it has never made a commitment in this regard. As a matter of fact, not only is China increasing its protection of rare earth resources year by year, the United States has long since gradually stopped mining its own rare earth resources, and our close neighbor Japan has been establishing a rare metal reserve system and base since 1983, and South Korea is also adopting the method of cooperation between official and non-governmental enterprises to increase the scale of rare metal reserves in a planned manner. In contrast, China has been selling blood for many years, and even if we do not export a kilogram of rare earths, it is normal, and China has no obligation to become a market for cheap resources from other countries. If China's reduction in the number of rare earths sold will threaten the national security of the United States, then does it mean that the Americans do not exploit rare earth resources, harming the interests of all countries in the world and threatening the national security of all countries lacking rare earth resources? ”

In order to fully illustrate the rationality and legitimacy of the domestic rare earth policy, Fan Wuxian also gave an example to illustrate the important role of rare earth and tungsten metal in the international market.

Rare earths are used in a wide range of products to make everything from cobalt in mobile phone batteries to neodymium in Toyota hybrid vehicles, from europium and yttrium on TVs to lanthanum in camera lenses, from calculators to the latest music players.

Data shows that one out of every five invention patents in the world today is related to rare earths. Tungsten is a rare metal with high melting point, high specific gravity and high hardness, and its unique properties and functions make it a necessary raw material for automobiles, electronics, information, atomic energy, aerospace, machinery industry, semiconductors, special steels, heat-resistant alloys and cutting-edge weapons, which are related to the national economy, people's livelihood and national security.

"In another ten or twenty years, if there is a huge shortage of our metal processing capacity, resulting in the paralysis of the machinery industry, it will definitely be mainly a lack of tungsten. If some people say that our aircraft cannot be produced (the balance system and counterweight system of the aircraft, the inertial rotation components in the instrument system and the rotor of the gyroscope all rely on the high specific gravity alloy made of iron, nickel, copper and manganese with high tungsten content), and the aerospace industry cannot develop (the rocket nozzles and nozzles in the aerospace industry need tungsten), this is why, it is all due to the fact that we have no tungsten. "At present, the United States, Japan and other countries use the entire international tungsten market under their control to deliberately raise the price of tungsten products and rare earth products, and prohibit strategic competitors such as China from importing rare metals such as tungsten products for military use," Fan said to Shengwei. All this has happened, is happening, or is about to happen, is unimaginable and worrying. ”

"You're terrible, aren't you alarmist?" Sheng Wei was holding the coffee quilt, although it was very warm to sit in the room, she felt a little chill on her body.

"Of course, it's not alarmist—" Fan said, waving his hand, "In such a situation, it is understandable and inevitable for China to strengthen the collection and storage of rare metals such as rare earth resources to protect and regulate resource prices and resist external risks." From a strategic point of view, China does not need to pay too much attention to the complaints of these foreigners, because these rare metal resources are concentrated in China, which is China's strategic resources, and the Chinese have the right to dispose of their own resources without other countries pointing fingers. As for what threatens the national security of the United States, that's even more of a pile of shit! The United States still has thousands of nuclear weapons, and that is a threat to China's national security! ”

Sheng Wei nodded and said, "Oh, then should we establish a national strategic deployment and put strategic resources such as this on the key protection list?" Regulating corporate behavior through government decrees? ”

"A national strategy? No, that's inappropriate. Fan Wuxi immediately laughed when he heard this, looking a little as cunning as a weasel who had just stolen the chicks, and then he said to Sheng Wei solemnly, "I also don't approve of the government's decree restrictions, although they are effective, but they are easy to be criticized by other countries, which is always bad, and after a long time, it is easy for foreigners to have more reasons to demonize China." ”

"So what to do? What is the current export policy of Fan's Investment Group for rare earths? Sheng Wei asked with some curiosity.

In fact, as a native Chinese, he has long been accustomed to living under government decrees, so when he heard that Fan Wuxian did not advocate regulating the export of rare earths by standing at the height of national strategy, Sheng Wei felt a little confused.

"Market! We are a market economy! Although many countries do not recognize this! Fan Wuxian said seriously, "However, we want to fight for ourselves, we need to make all countries in the world accept, we are an authentic market economy!" More authentic than his ** Americans! Therefore, all disputes must be resolved under the market mechanism! ”

"Mr. Fan, you exploded twice in a row—" Sheng Wei protested with a frown as he recorded.

There are no pop-ups
