中美之间的博弈，到了2025年，变得更像一场没有硝烟的战争。你来我往，明争暗斗，谁都不肯后退。稀土，这种看起来不起眼的矿石，突然被推到了风 口浪尖。 马来西亚的工厂里，机器轰鸣声里夹杂着紧张气息。澳洲稀土公司莱纳斯，这家总部在西澳的企业，最近把新闻头条抢了个遍。5月，莱纳斯宣布，世界 上首次有企业在中国以外实现重稀土商业化分离生产。 过去十年，西方在稀土领域几乎是"被动挨打"。中国的产业链完整，技术领先，说封就能封。澳洲和马来西亚的合作，其实是无奈中的突围。 这件事意义非凡。稀土这些年一直被中国牢牢把握在手心，西方国家想打破这个格局，不是一朝一夕能做到的。2025年，局势变了，莱纳斯一脚踹开了 门。 马来西亚新工厂的投产，象征着全球稀土产业链有了新变量。莱纳斯生产出了氧化镝，这玩意儿在高科技、军工领域都用得上。过去这些东西基本都得从 中国买，现在终于有了第二选择。 莱纳斯CEO阿曼达·拉卡兹在声明里不无骄傲地说，公司成为了全球唯一能在中国境外商业化生产分离重稀土产品的企业。她直言，这对供应链的韧性是一 大提升。换句话说，西方的心终于定了一点。 要说这背后的压力，真不是一般大。全世界的目光都盯着中国的稀土出口政 ...
