中国09年稀土产量达12万吨,占全球总量的97%。但事实上,中国的稀土储量却仅占全球9900万吨总储量的36%。但由于缺乏管控,中国稀土资源长期处于乱开采、贱价卖的困局,供应商互相杀价,让国外收购方得以用“白菜价”购买。 In 2009, China’s rare earth production reached 120,000 tons, accounting for 97% of the global total. In fact, China’s rare earth reserves account for only 36% of the world’s total reserves of 990,000 tons. However, due to lack of control, China’s rare earth resources have long been in a dilemma of mining and selling, and suppliers have bargained each other, allowing foreign purchasers to purchase with “biscuit prices”.
