俄罗斯之所以急于推动稀土产业自主化，实际上是从现实中吸取了教训。虽然中国的稀土管控政策并没 有明确针对某个国家，但俄罗斯联邦安全会议秘书绍伊古在《消息报》的专栏文章中直言，这种管控方 式让俄罗斯感受到了巨大的风险。中国本身掌握了全球90%的稀土精炼能力，而这次管控政策首次扩展 到了加工技术和设备领域，这对长期依赖进口精炼产品的俄罗斯来说，无疑是一个严重的"卡脖子"警 告。而俄乌冲突后的外部环境，更让俄罗斯的稀土依赖风险变得更加具体。 稀土资源已经成为全球战略博弈中的重要筹码，最近俄罗斯加快了发展稀土产业的步伐，试图走出长期 以来"有矿却没有产业链"的困境。 实际上，俄罗斯作为全球稀土储量丰富的国家，却在很长时间内未能建立起完善的稀土产业链。尽管如 此，随着2025年国际稀土管控格局的变化，俄罗斯政府终于认识到：稀土的依赖问题，不仅仅是经济问 题，更涉及到国家的主权问题。 俄罗斯选择在托木斯克和雅库特地区投资建设，主要有两个原因：一是这些地区附近有丰富的托姆托尔 稀土矿床，储量高达15万吨的高品位钇族稀土；二是靠近西伯利亚的水电基地，能够为高能耗的冶炼环 节提供便宜的电力，从而解决产业落地的关键需求。 目前，俄 ...

这次我国的举措让全球都感到意外。就在这个月月初，中国突然加大了对稀土的出口管控，虽然中国官方表示这不是禁运，只是依法进行审查，但其实大家 都知道，这一举动主要是针对美国。然而，出人意料的是，虽然目标是美国，结果却让俄罗斯也感到困扰。为何本来是中美博弈，俄罗斯却也成了其中的受 害者？俄罗斯对此又会做出什么反应？ 10月9日，中国商务部发布了第61号和第62号公告，宣布对含有中国成分的稀土产品实施出口管控。此次限制的范围不仅仅是少数几种稀土原料，还包括了 相关技术、设备，甚至是那些含有极低中国成分的产品也需要审查。这次的行动已经不仅仅是单纯的出口限制，而是直接将全球稀土转售环节都纳入了视 野。 然而，令中国未曾预料的是，俄罗斯却在这个时候感到了压力。10月23日，俄罗斯国家安全会议秘书绍伊古公开表示，虽然中国的这一举措是针对美国，但 对全球供应链的冲击却是全方位的。他特别指出，俄罗斯必须尽快建立起一个完全独立的稀土产业链，否则它将无法在关键时刻自给自足。虽然他的话听起 来有些夸张，但放眼俄乌战争后的俄罗斯困境，可以理解其内心的焦虑。西方的制裁让俄罗斯面临重重困难，能源出口的优势也不再明显，而现在，连高科 技产业的 ...
