美国前国务卿黑格1980年指出,“资源战争的时代已经开始……仅铬铁矿(的供应)危机就会使美国100万人失业,冷战实质上是一场资源战。”矿物资源过去一直是,今后仍将是世界各国采用政治的、经济的甚至军事的手段争夺和控制的对象。对矿物资源控制权的的争夺,从历史上就一直没有停止过。历史和现实都证明了美国、欧盟、日本的对外行动从来都是受利益驱动的,从来不是道义性的。 Former Secretary of State Hagrid pointed out in 1980 that “the era of resource wars has begun ... The crisis of supply of chromite alone will result in the loss of 1 million U.S. jobs and the cold war is essentially a resource war.” "Mineral Resources The past has always been and will continue to be the object of competition and control by countries all over the world using political, economic and even military means.
