Group 1: Challenges of Deep-Sea Mining - There is widespread domestic opposition in the U.S. to deep-sea mining due to environmental concerns, with experts warning that it could cause far greater damage than land mining [5]. - The U.S. lacks the necessary technology and capabilities for deep-sea mining, which involves high costs and complex operations, making it potentially more expensive than importing rare earth materials [5]. - The U.S. faces pressure from the United Nations, as the International Seabed Authority (ISA) has stated that all exploration and mining activities must be regulated by them, and unilateral actions could violate international law [7]. Group 2: Context of Rare Earth Supply Chain - The U.S. is currently highly dependent on China for both raw materials and development technology related to rare earth elements, which poses a risk if China decides to restrict exports [3]. - China has already begun implementing export controls on seven rare earth items in response to U.S. tariffs, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the trade relationship [3].

据红星新闻报道，3月4日深夜，李嘉诚旗下长江和记实业有限公司(00001.HK)在港交所公告，宣布与贝莱德(BlackRock)牵头的财团达成原则性协 议，出售其全球港口业务核心资产，其中涉及巴拿马港口公司90%股权。该财团成员包括美国资产管理公司贝莱德及其全球基础设施投资合伙企业 (GIP)、地中海航运旗下码头投资公司(TiL)。受上述消息影响，3月5日，长和股价大涨，截至收盘，涨幅为21.86%，总市值为1804亿港元。 目前距离李嘉诚旗下的香港长江和记集团与美国贝莱德集团牵头的财团签署的两座巴拿马港口股权交易截止日期已经仅剩一周的时间，但该公司和 香港特区政府之间的"博弈"在继续。目前长和集团和港府仍然在商讨"合理的解决办法"。据消息人士26日透露，港府在3月4日意外得知长和集团将 向美方出售其所有海外港口业务后，立即与该公司取得了联系。长和集团在公告中表示，将出售其在23个国家43个港口的199个泊位的权益，其中 包括在巴拿马运河两端的港口运营权益，价值高达230亿美元。 李嘉诚（资料图） 现在，巴拿马运河上的两座港口，李嘉诚还没卖，因为在完成最终的交割前，还要经过不少的程序。不过，也有媒体预测，下个 ...

据直新闻报道，3月18日，有记者提问，有报道称，在长江和记集团同意出售在巴拿马业务后，中国政府正就该集团出售 海外港口对其开展调查。外交部能否证实并提供更多细节？外交部发言人表示，有关具体情况请向主管部门询问。作为 原则，我想强调，中方一贯坚决反对利用经济胁迫、霸道霸凌侵犯损害他国正当权益的行为。 李嘉诚（资料图） 巴拿马运河（资料图） 回顾过去一段时间，长和在最近11个交易日里，市值累计已蒸发323.6亿港元，即使对于李嘉诚这样的富豪来说，这也不 是一个小数字。尤其值得一提的是，本月20号，长和发布了去年的业绩报告，数据显示去年长和总营收同比增长了 3.3%，是个比较亮眼的数据，按照常理，长和的股价不该继续下跌才对。至于长和股价下跌刹不住的原因，其实也不难 猜到，主要是李嘉诚出售港口的交易，可能会触发法律方面的问题。 李嘉诚（资料图） 随着李嘉诚旗下长江和记将43个港口打包出售给贝莱德财团的事情愈演愈烈，李氏家族已经被推到了舆论的风口浪尖 上，不仅官方两度发文、五连质问，就连民间的声讨也是极为强烈。按照原定时间，4月2日将是长江和记和贝莱德财团 签署交易案的日期，按照美国对巴拿马运河的觊觎和重要的战略位置， ...

仅剩最后七天的时间，长江和记就要完成和贝莱德集团的港口交易了，其中就包括最受外界关注的两座巴拿马港口。不过就在双方即将交割之际，又有新的 消息传来，这次李嘉诚出售港口一事，或许仍有转机... 虽然这一消息并不意味着大陆将会立刻全面禁止同李嘉诚的合作，但是对李嘉诚的压力无疑再次增加。但是外媒一般认为，大陆的施压对于长江和记的影响 比较有限，因为长江和记仅有12%的收入来自香港和大陆，其主要业务覆盖欧洲，北美以及澳大利亚。 涉及零售，电信，以及公共事业等领域，其实港口行业本身也并非长江和记的主营业务，因此李嘉诚的企业和国企的业务往来本身就不多。但是李嘉诚其长 子李泽钜所负责的房地产部门，长江实业五分之一的长期租赁物业都位于中国大陆，其大部分用于开发的待售房地产项目的土地储备也位于大陆。 3月4日，长江和记宣布将会以228亿美元的价格，向贝莱德集团出售其位于23个国家的43个港口的相关权益，其中包括巴拿马的两座港口，这两座港口恰好 位于巴拿马运河的两端。而这一消息一经公布，立刻就引起了轩然大波。 以《大公报》为首的舆论界，立刻对李嘉诚发起"猛攻"。早在特朗普刚刚就任总统的时候，他就已经对巴拿马运河表现出了浓厚的兴趣 ...

190亿还没到账，李嘉诚吃下苦果：官方喊话5次后，损失快近千亿 商人在商言商看起来似乎没有错，但是一个人在拥有商人的身份之前，他首先应该是一个中国人，其所谓的"商业行为"如果损害了国家的利益，那虽然他可 能会短期内收获一点蝇头小利，但是最终一定是会"捡了芝麻丢了西瓜"。李嘉诚及其近期的一系列"抽象"操作，就是一个很好的例子，在官方连续五次对李 嘉诚及其麾下企业进行喊话之后，市场的反应已经让李嘉诚吃了大亏。 总的来看，就在大家十分关注的抛售巴拿马港口事件发酵后，仅仅长和、长江基建集团、电能实业、长实集团这四家公司市值蒸发超过781亿港元。 中方作为巴拿马运河的重要用户，若是巴拿马运河区港口设施全部落入美国手中，那么这对中方的海外贸易乃至整个中方的经济都会带来极大的不确定性。 再进一步考虑，若是美国将掌控巴拿马运河区的"成功经验"复制粘贴，那么美国很有可能能够借此一步步控制全球商贸要道，这对中方这个世界第一贸易大 国而言，并不是什么好消息。因此，李嘉诚此举可谓是"牵一发而动全身"，确实需要三思而后"不行"。 因此在这种情况下，在交易还未完成，190亿美元的巨额资金还未到账的情况下。中方官方层面，包括国务院港澳办、 ...
