欧美30国对华稀土动手，巴元帅送特朗普稀土样品，为何拉拢美入伙

Group 1 - The "Critical Minerals Alliance," led by the U.S. and comprising 31 countries, has initiated measures targeting China's rare earths, including a $5 billion global exploration fund for projects in Australia and Canada [1] - The European Union is advancing plans to establish an "Eastern European Rare Earth Corridor," aiming for 20% self-sufficiency in rare earths by 2030 through the construction of separation plants in Hungary and Poland [1] - The U.S. is relaxing environmental standards to expedite rare earth mining in Minnesota, despite local protests from indigenous communities [1] Group 2 - Australia's Mount Weld mine has been operational for five years, but all extracted rare earths still require processing in China due to a lack of critical separation technology locally [2] - Chinese companies, such as Northern Rare Earth, have developed advanced separation processes and maintain a significant technological edge in rare earth materials [3] Group 3 - The U.S. is imposing a 25% tariff on Chinese rare earth magnets starting April 2025 and has established import quotas with Japan and South Korea, limiting their purchases from China to 60% [3] - The EU is planning to impose a carbon tax on Chinese rare earth oxides, but Chinese companies have managed to reduce carbon emissions significantly, leading to a delay in the tax's implementation [4] Group 4 - The U.S. Department of Defense is funding research for alternatives to rare earths, but current substitutes like iron-nitride alloys are not viable for high-performance applications [5] - Pakistan has signed a rare earth cooperation agreement with the U.S., planning a two-phase investment to explore and develop its rare earth resources, which could provide significant economic benefits [7][9] Group 5 - Despite the potential of U.S.-Pakistan cooperation, it is unlikely to impact China's dominance in the rare earth sector in the short term due to the lengthy timeline for exploration and production [11] - China currently controls over 60% of global rare earth extraction and 92% of processing, maintaining a strong position in the industry [11][13]
