近期，澳大利亚莱纳斯公司因宣布成功实现氧化镝的商业化生产而成为了业界焦点。与此同时，有关该公司挖角中国稀土技术团队的传闻甚嚣尘上，这一消 息迅速在各大媒体平台上发酵，引发了业界对于稀土资源全球竞争态势的广泛讨论。 然而，深入剖析这一事件背后，我们可以发现，所谓的"挖角"风波并不足以撼动中国在全球稀土领域的霸主地位。中国稀土行业人才济济，不仅拥有一大批 在矿山、冶炼、研发等关键环节深耕多年的资深工程师，还建立了完备的人才培养机制。每年，众多高校都会为稀土行业输送大批新生力量，老一辈专家与 年轻人才的"师徒传承"，确保了稀土技术的持续发展和经验的代代相传。 从技术层面而言，中国的稀土技术优势是经过数十年的积淀而形成的系统性优势。自徐光宪院士提出"串级萃取理论"以来，中国的稀土分离技术便奠定了世 界领先地位。如今，这一技术体系已经发展成为一条涵盖开采、分离、应用等各个环节的高效产业链，形成了一个闭环的稀土生态系统。 相比之下，澳大利亚的稀土产业链则显得相对松散。其稀土生产依赖于全球范围内的分工合作，矿石开采、分离、加工等环节分散在不同国家和地区，这不 仅增加了运输成本，还带来了诸多不确定性风险。尽管莱纳斯公司宣称已 ...

Core Viewpoint - Lynas Corporation from Australia has gained global attention by announcing its ability to commercially produce "dysprosium oxide" and reportedly recruiting a team from China's rare earth sector [1][5]. Group 1: Talent and Human Resources - The recruitment of a few individuals from China does not equate to a significant shift in the industry, as China's rare earth talent pool is vast and not defined by a single team [2][4]. - China has a robust talent cultivation mechanism, with universities continuously supplying new talent to the industry through hands-on training [4]. Group 2: Technological and Systemic Advantages - China's technological advantages are not limited to isolated points but encompass a comprehensive system developed over decades, starting from the "cascade extraction theory" established in the 1970s [7]. - The complete industrial chain in China allows for efficient processing from mining to application, which is a stark contrast to Australia's fragmented approach [10][12]. Group 3: Supply Chain and Market Dynamics - Australia's supply chain is vulnerable due to its reliance on global logistics, which can lead to high costs and risks if any part of the chain encounters issues [14]. - China, being the largest producer and reserve holder of rare earths, has strategic storage capabilities that can influence global market supply and pricing [16]. Group 4: Market Viability and Competition - The primary question remains: who will purchase the products produced by Lynas, given that China is the largest market for rare earth applications [18][21]. - China's established supply chain offers stability and cost-effectiveness, making it unlikely for businesses to switch to more expensive and longer supply routes from Australia [18][20]. Group 5: By-products and Economic Viability - China has a complete industrial chain that allows for the sale of by-products generated during rare earth processing, a capability that Australia lacks [23].

据智通财经报道，近日，欧洲议会以523票赞成、75票反对、14票弃权的悬殊结果通过决议，要求中国 放开稀土管制。中国驻欧盟使团迅速回应，明确指出其中问题，而在此之前，王毅外长也早有相关表 态。这一系列事件背后，究竟隐藏着怎样的国际关系博弈？咱们一起来看看。 稀土（资料图） 中国，是全球稀土储量和产量最大的国家，在稀土领域有着举足轻重的地位 。之前，中国长期大量向 全世界供应稀土，保障着全球产业链的稳定 。但近年来，随着国际形势变化，特别是美国挑起全球贸 易战，全球贸易秩序被严重扰乱，供应链稳定性受到极大冲击 。在这种情况下，中国出于自身主权、 国际义务以及维护全球产业链安全等多方面考虑，对稀土出口进行了必要管制 。 而欧洲，一直以来对稀土的需求量都很大，其很多产业发展都依赖进口稀土 。中国对稀土出口的管 制，确实在一定程度上影响了欧洲的相关产业 。不过，中国已经明确表示，只要欧洲遵守规定、履行 程序，正常需求能得到保障，还专门开了"快捷通道" 。但欧洲议会却还是通过这么个决议，要求中国 放开管制，这就有点说不过去了 。 从实际情况来看，欧洲议会的这个决议，和现实情况有很大出入 。就拿中国稀土出口数据来说，今年 ...
