稀土这东西听着高大上，其实就是17种金属元素，手机、电动车、风电、导弹都离不开它。中国占了全球七成产量，出口量一变，全球供应链就抖三抖。 2022年出口4.87万吨，2023年5.23万吨，大家都盯着2024年到底多少。答案已经出来了，海关总署数据，2024全年55431吨，又涨了6%。别看只涨了3000多 吨，这里面门道可不少。 先说2022年那4.87万吨，其实准确数字是48728吨，比2021年还略降0.4%。那年全球刚从疫情里缓过劲，新能源车销量刚过千万辆，中国故意把配额收紧， 把更多高纯产品留给自己用。 北方稀土、广晟有色这些企业那几年都在扩深加工线，出口的不再是低价氧化物，而是直接能装车的磁材，均价涨了15%。 2023年直接跳到52307吨，多了将近3600吨。原因很简单，全球新能源车卖疯了，中国自己产的比亚迪、特斯拉上海工厂订单爆棚，国外也得排队买中国的 钕铁硼。 现在国外想翻盘，美国芒廷帕斯矿2024年才产1300吨钕普合金，重稀土还是得从中国买。澳大利亚莱纳斯在马来西亚的厂子因为废水辐射被当地抗议好几 次，2024年又停产整改。 5月单月就出了6217吨，创了好几年新高。日本、美国、德国那 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent $8.5 billion mineral cooperation agreement between the U.S. and Australia highlights the urgency for the U.S. to reduce its dependence on Chinese rare earth resources, particularly in the context of military applications [1][10]. Group 1: U.S. Concerns and Military Dependency - The U.S. military relies heavily on rare earth elements, with 87% of its 153 major weapon systems dependent on Chinese processing [1]. - The F-47 fighter jet requires 8 to 12 kilograms of rare earths, and 70% of the heavy rare earths used in the U.S. come from China, indicating a significant vulnerability in the U.S. defense supply chain [1]. Group 2: Australia's Position and Resources - Australia ranks fourth globally in rare earth reserves, with 5.7 million tons, and possesses the only large-scale heavy rare earth production base outside of China, making it a strategic partner for the U.S. [6]. - The agreement is seen as mutually beneficial, with Australia aiming to enhance its position in the global mineral market while providing the U.S. with critical resources [6]. Group 3: Challenges and Realities - Despite the cooperation, Australia's rare earth reserves are significantly lower than China's, which holds 44 million tons, over seven times more than Australia [7]. - The timeline for Australia to scale up production to meet U.S. needs is unrealistic, with full-scale production not expected until 2028, while the U.S. seeks self-sufficiency within a year [7][10]. - The technological and industrial barriers that China has established over years cannot be easily overcome by mere agreements or investments, as China controls 90% of the global rare earth supply chain and extraction technology [7][8]. Group 4: Conclusion on the Agreement's Impact - The $8.5 billion agreement appears to be more of a political gesture to alleviate U.S. anxiety over rare earth dependence rather than a practical solution to the underlying supply chain issues [10]. - The global supply chain dynamics are complex and cannot be altered solely through political maneuvers; achieving true independence in rare earth supply will require substantial technological advancements and production capabilities [10].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the comparison between two types of companies in investment: "Old Deng" companies, which have stable cash flows and market monopolies, and "Small Deng" companies, which are in emerging industries with high growth potential but also high uncertainty [5][6][7]. Group 1: Old Deng Companies - An example of an "Old Deng" company is a provincial state-owned publishing group that monopolizes the K-12 educational materials market, generating stable cash flows of several billion annually due to the inelastic demand for educational resources [5]. - The advantages of such companies include stable profits and a strong market position, but they face limitations in expanding to other regions and adapting to demographic changes like declining birth rates [6]. Group 2: Small Deng Companies - "Small Deng" companies, such as those in the semiconductor industry, are characterized by their potential for rapid growth, with projections suggesting an average annual growth rate of 50% over the next decade [6][7]. - However, investing in "Small Deng" companies carries risks, including the uncertainty of industry trends, the potential for technological obsolescence, and the challenges of establishing effective competitive barriers [8][9]. Group 3: Investment Considerations - Investors often misjudge the value of stocks, buying at high prices during market hype, which leads to poor investment outcomes [10][11]. - It is crucial for investors to develop their own valuation systems and avoid investing in overly popular stocks, as the market conditions for "Small Deng" stocks are more suitable for profit-taking rather than long-term positioning [11].
