政策一出，媒体紧跟着炒作稀土议题。 行业专家普遍认同，美国希望通过行政手段强化本土产业链，让所谓的"安全"成为市场主旋律。 2024年，全球资源争议再度升级。 美国高层直接下达半年的供应链调整令，要求各国企业减少对中国稀土的依赖。 会议室里，政策刚宣布，行业内外都陷入紧张气氛。 欧洲制造商、亚洲采购团队，纷纷开始重新盘点供应渠道。 真正让人好奇的是——这场变化到底会带来什么后果？ 美国在矿产领域的动作频率明显加快。 各国被邀请参与资源会议，议程上，俄罗斯和中国两个矿产大国被明确排除在外。 表面看，联盟气势十足，实际操作中，不少企业仍然依赖中国的原材料。 美国的理由很清楚，强调产业链的集中会带来风险。 政策制定者认为，过度依赖中国，可能在未来的关键时刻遭遇断供。 数据显示，全球稀土冶炼和加工环节有大部分集中在中国。 德国汽车、欧洲高端制造、亚洲电子产业，供应链核心环节大多就在中国工厂。 产业现实和政治诉求之间，出现了复杂的拉扯。 不少矿产出口国面临两难。 美国希望他们配合调整，承诺贸易优惠，但也不乏压力政策。 企业负责人多次表达担忧，担心脱离中国后，产品质量和交付速度会受影响。 澳大利亚、非洲等矿产大国，既想扩 ...

"十五五"规划建议提出，"坚决破除阻碍全国统一大市场建设卡点堵点""增强国内大循环内生动力和可 靠性"。橡胶工业作为国民经济的基础性产业，应如何破除国内大循环的卡点堵点?近日，记者就此专访 了中国橡胶工业协会副秘书长兼技术经济委员会主任朱红，为行业高质量发展建言献策。 卡点堵点贯穿整个产业链 "我国橡胶产业链的上游、中游、下游各环节存在明显的卡点堵点。"朱红坦言。 从上游原料供应环节来看，对外依存度高、自主供给不足问题突出。我国天然橡胶供应主要依赖东南亚 市场，供应链易受气候异常、政策变动及地缘政治风险冲击;丁二烯、异戊二烯等关键合成橡胶原料对 外依存度超60%，高端牌号产品自给率不足60%，特种氟橡胶、硅橡胶等高端产品自给率更是低于 40%，核心制备技术被海外企业长期垄断，每年需大量进口弥补供需缺口。 从中游加工制造方面来看，我国橡胶加工产能存在结构失衡，70%产能集中在华东地区;同时，产业链 的结构性矛盾凸显，技术瓶颈与绿色转型也是橡胶加工制造环节亟待突破的难题。 从下游需求环节来看，近年来新能源汽车渗透率快速提升，低滚阻轮胎等高性能橡胶产品需求激增，而 传统燃油车市场萎缩导致通用橡胶产品产能供需错配。同 ...
