Chapter 2159 The issue of principle does not need to be discussed

However, while the German media praised it in good faith or maliciously, there were also discordant voices. Several German mainstream media outlets reported Xia Xiang's position on some events related to China's national interests, pointing out that Xia Xiang is a narrow nationalist. If there are more people like Xia in China, China will It will become the narrowest and most remote country in the world.

Although the above accusation against Xia Xiang was a slander of the German media, Xia Xiang really made a tough speech on top of a matter of China's interests at the dinner party.

Xiaxiang did not want to be the focus of attention, but it was counterproductive. In addition to the friendly people in the German business community, there were also non-friendly people around him who were extremely dissatisfied with him.

Ernest is one of them.

Ernest's dissatisfaction with Xiaxiang stemmed from the fact that when Dai Fusheng met with the German Minister of Economy in the morning, Dai Fusheng clearly rejected Germany's accusations of China's rare earth policy.

In a meeting with Dai Fusheng, the German Minister of Economy pointed out that China should not increase the difficulties of obtaining rare earths in the West, and hoped that China would relax the control of rare earths.

Dai Fusheng's reply is that China's rare earth reserves now account for only about one-third of the world's, and the supply accounts for more than 90% of the world's. China standardizes the order of rare earth development in accordance with the law, which is the need to protect the ecological environment and exhaust available resources, reduce pollution damage, and also the need to realize the long-term effective use of rare earth resources. China will continue to provide rare earths to the international market under the premise of complying with international rules. It also hopes that Chinese and German enterprises will strengthen technical cooperation, improve the utilization rate of rare earths, jointly develop alternative products, and ensure a stable supply of rare earth demand in the world.

It should be said. Dai Fusheng's measures are very euphemistic, but the attitude is very firm, that is, China will not change the current policy of controlling rare earth resources under foreign pressure!

There is oil in the Middle East and rare earth in China. Rare earth was once an advantageous resource that made Chinese people proud. Rare earth reserves once accounted for more than 90% of the world's reserves. That is to say, China is the largest country in rare earth resources...

Unfortunately. It used to be!

It's not now!

Since 1960, China has been exploiting rare earth resources. For more than 50 years, while supplying a large number of rare earth resources to other countries, the domestic rare earth reserves have decreased sharply.

Especially from the 1990s to the present. China's rare earth resources exports have increased by 10 times. China's rare earth resources exports have accounted for more than 90% of the world's total exports of rare earth resources. In the past 13 years, the proportion of China's rare earth resources reserves in the world's total proven rare earth resources has been reduced from 43% to 30%. According to the current mining speed The source can only maintain the demand for the next 15 to 20 years!

Behind China's selfless dedication to repay the international community is the disorderly exploitation of rare earth resources and the cheap selling behavior of some local governments for their own selfishness. A county in Jiangxi Province began to mine precious rare earth resources disorderly more than 20 years ago. The whole county is full of soldiers, with hundreds of illegal mining sites, smuggling up to 10,000 tons of rare earths a year.

Coupled with the best self-killing behavior of the Chinese people, in order to win foreign customers, the price of rare earths has plummeted all the way - and many factories in the south compete for the price in order to get orders. The processing cost of a shirts from a domestic takeaway of more than a hundred dollars is less than one dollar. In the end, it led to the closure of a large number of factories. Over the past 20 years, China's rare earth exports have more than increased by more than nine times, but the price has dropped by half!

And rare earths are non-renewable resources. At the same time, the mining of rare earths has caused a wide range of pollution, mountains and forests have been cut down, soil **, ravines are everywhere, and soil erosion. A large amount of soil erosion has destroyed arable land. The emissions from rare earth mining have caused serious environmental damage, and the ecological environment has been completely destroyed, which is equivalent to the Chinese people selling rare earth more precious than gold at the price of cabbage, and they only get a pitiful charity. And the rivers and mountains that are full of holes are left to future generations.

How short-sighted!

But leave an inch of land for future generations to cultivate... The Chinese people who care most about future generations are doing the matter of leaving future generations, which has to be said to be a great irony.

Rare earths are an indispensable raw material for many high-precision industries and a key material for many major weapon systems. Without rare earths, many strategic weapons of the United States will not be produced, but this is the case. As the third largest country in the world's rare earth resources, the United States' own rare earth resources were as early as 1997. All of them are sealed, and rare earth resources are only imported from China, in order to make a long-term plan.

Imagine that if one day China's rare earth resources are mined out, once there is a war, without rare earths, many high-end weapons cannot be produced, and we can only watch American missiles fall from the sky.

At that time, I will recall the rare earth that was sold cheaply in order to covet a few colorful dollars. If you regret it again, it will be too late. Even if you keep the 100 million US dollars in cash, you can't exchange a cannonball on your roof and you can't fight back!

When will the Chinese people be able to have a long-term vision and no longer be short-sighted? Not only did the United States buy a large number of cheap rare earth resources in China for free - it is enough to buy a few traitors - even Japan, which does not have an inch of rare earth resources in China, has also taken advantage of the fire to buy countless rare earth resources from China for decades. Today, Japan is the country with the largest storage of rare earth resources in the

Compared with Japan's shrewdity, it is far from the Chinese people to the Chinese national leaders. For Japan, which has never given up its aggressive heart against China, China is too easily confused. It only recognizes the yen, sees immediate interests, and lacks strategic vision and mind.

What is the use of Japan's rare earth resources that can be used to make high-end weapons? Does it mean that Japan used rare earths imported from China to make high-end weapons for suicide? Don't forget that the declaration of the Japanese Empire in the hearts of Japanese ambitionists is that if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer Asia. If you want to conquer Asia, you must first conquer China.

It's a pity that the Chinese people who hold the yen in their hands feel that it is a great advantage. They don't know that one day the yen in their hands will become a ghost coin.

When China's rare earth resources fell from 90% to less than 40% of the world's reserves, the relevant departments of the state began to formulate a series of measures to restrict the export of rare earths - I don't know whether the relevant departments have been sleeping over the years or there is any sleading reason behind it - finally there is no rare Before the soil was sold out as cabbage, it controlled the disorderly loss of rare earths related to China's lifeline.

But at this time, both the United States and Japan have surpassed China to become the world's largest rare earth resource country!

China, which has thousands of years of cultural heritage, has been keen to study the art of war for thousands of years, but it has lost to the United States, which has a history of only more than 200 years, and to a Japan, which is only one 30th of its own land area.

And the United States and Japan are the two most hostile countries in the world to China.

After China's policy of restricting rare earth exports was introduced, the United States and Japan successively accused China of controlling the rare earth market at the World Trade Conference and demanded that China open up the rare earth market.

It's so high-sounding. In fact, I still want to buy the cheapest rare earth from China at the lowest price, and I can see the shameless face.

Of course, China has firmly rejected the unreasonable demands of the United States and Japan. If it does not refuse and compromise, it is a poor student who has not even learned the idiom since childhood.

Xiaxiang doesn't know Ernest, but Ernest is an importer of rare earths, and there is also a little that the Western Province also produces rare earths.

China's rare earth resources are mainly distributed in Lingnan, Jiangxi and Inner Mongolia. A new rare earth mine has been discovered at the junction of Inner Mongolia and Western Province, which is rich in reserves and is a high-quality mine. Fortunately, it happened that Xia wanted to serve as the governor of the Western Province. As soon as he took office, Xia thought strictly formulated the principle of rare earth mining, and repeatedly stressed that the issue of principle should not be shaken. Whoever illegally exploited it will be dealt with.

As a result, some people really want money and life, and have to go illegal mining - in fact, it can't be completely said that it is illegal mining, but it is a deceptive mining under the protection of the local umbrella - as a result, Xia wanted to know. Xia wanted to remove all the local county party secretaries and county magistrates Replace all the systems.

is also another important reason for Xia to carry out a large-scale heavy punching operation in the Western Province. If the collusion between officials and businessmen is not broken, rare earth resources will eventually be swallowed up by the selfishness of others and sold to hostile forces abroad. In fact, the reason why Di Guogong was taken away by the national security department was that he betrayed the coal geological resources of the Western Province only on the one hand. On the other hand, Di Guogong betrayed the secrets of the rare earth mines found in the Western Province.

I believe that without the sale of Di Guogong, Ernest would not have known the reserves of rare earth deposits in the Western Province.

"Gun Governor Xia, I don't understand why the Western Province does not allow foreign capital to exploit rare earth resources?" Ernest came to Xiaxiang, and his first sentence was extremely dissatisfied. "The purpose of free trade is to let the market economy decide everything. The practice of the Western Province violates China's commitment to join the WTO."

It can be said that plundering the resources of other countries can be so righteous, and only arrogant Europeans and American people can do it. At least the Japanese can pretend to be polite when they make demands.

"Free trade?" Xia Xiang sneered, "Mr. Ernest, German Volkswagen and two Chinese Volkswagen companies have cooperated for 30 years. Have you ever transferred core technology to two Chinese Volkswagen? If you compare the country to a person, everyone has a selfish side. You'd better be righteous before you blame others.

Ernest was also used to the soft tone of Chinese officials. He didn't think that Xia's tone was not only tough, but also aggressive. He couldn't help retorting, "Mr. Xia, I'm calmly discussing problems with you, not quarreling."

"There is no need to discuss the issue of principle!" Xia Xiang is very clear about how greedy Europe and the United States are under the cover of the so-called gentleman's demeanor in the layout of China. "When Germany agrees to transfer the core technology of engines and precision molds, it will be qualified to make a request to China to open up the rare earth market!" ( To be continued)
