　　稀土纠葛的背后

Rare earth behind tangle

　　面对美国、欧盟、日本在稀土出口问题上的责难，商务部新闻发言人沈丹阳日前公开发表谈话，郑重表明中国政府在稀土问题上的立场和原则：“中国稀土政策的目标是保护资源和环境，实现可持续发展，无意通过扭曲贸易的方式保护国内产业。”

Facing the United States、The European Union、Japan in the rare earth export problems of the blame，Commerce ministry spokesman said ShenDanYang recently spoke in public，Suggests that the Chinese government solemnly in the position of the rare earth and principles：“China's rare earth policy goal is to protect the resources and environment，To realize the sustainable development，Not distort trade through the way to protect domestic industry。”

　　沈丹阳强调：“中国对稀土开采、生产和出口的管理，完全基于保护资源、环境和人民健康的目的。今后中国将继续在统筹考虑国内资源和生产、消费以及国际市场情况的基础上，合理确定年度稀土出口配额总量。”

ShenDanYang emphasize：“China mining of rare earth、The production and export of the management，Completely based on the resource protection、The purpose of the environment and people's health。In China in the future will continue to be in as a whole consider domestic resources and production、Consumption and international market conditions based，Reasonable annual rare earth export the total amount of quotas。”

　　商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院相关人士则进一步表示，中国历来以关税及贸易总协定第二十条为依据，基于保护环境、可持续发展对稀土实施管理。此前，中方也曾多次强调政府对稀土的开采、生产和出口各个环节均实施了管理措施，而不仅仅在出口环节，相关措施符合WTO规则。但美欧日对这一合理行为却有意曲解、横加指责，将争端的矛头直接对准稀土出口配额制度，企图在我国稀土资源防护线上撕开一个缺口从而获得廉价的稀土资源。

The ministry of commerce international trade and economic cooperation related people are further research institute said，China has always to tariffs and trade (gatt) article 20 basis，Based on environmental protection、The sustainable development of rare earth implementation management。after，China also has repeatedly stressed the government of rare earth drilling、The production and export of each link is implementing the management measures，And not just on export link，Related measures with WTO rules。But the us and Europe to this day a reasonable behavior has intentionally misinterpreted、adamant，The dispute be were rare earth export quotas on directly，In rare earth resources protection in our country to tear apart a gap online to get cheap rare earth resources。

　　据了解，就在一些国家极力鼓噪中国开放稀土自由出口的同时，几乎所有WTO成员国却惊人一致地对本国资源性产品出口加以严格限制。如美国就极少开发本国丰富的石油资源，日常消耗主要依赖进口；日本不仅关闭了国内的生产型煤矿，甚至还将从其他国家购买的煤炭产品填埋在地下作为战略资源……

According to understand，In some countries opening China's rare earth deserves to free export at the same time，Almost all WTO members have amazing consistently domestic resource products be strictly limited exports。If the United States is rarely development country rich in oil resources，Daily consumption mainly depends on imports；Japan not only domestic production of coal mine closed，Even from other countries will buy in underground coal product landfill as a strategic resources...

　　“稀土也不是中国独有的资源，美国、加拿大、澳大利亚等国家均有大量的储存。因为稀土开采破坏环境，所以这些国家均将自己国内的稀土资源‘冷藏’起来，或者刻意少进行开采。”上述人士告诉记者，“目前的这场贸易诉讼，主要是针对中国‘限制稀土出口’的政策，而这次纠纷与其他贸易争端不同，其终极目的就是要求中国出口稀土，却将开采稀土造成的环境污染留在中国。”

“Rare earth is not unique to China's resources，The United States、Canada、Australia and other countries all have a large amount of storage。For rare earth mining damage the environment，So these nations are to be their domestic rare earth resources‘refrigeration’up，Or deliberately less exploitation。”The sources told reporters，“At present the litigation，Is mainly aimed at China‘Rare earth export restrictions’policy，And the dispute and other trade dispute is different，The ultimate objective is to ask China rare earth exports，But mining rare earth caused by environmental pollution in China。”
