Everyone knows that our chip is restricted by the United States and other countries, which makes us feel uncomfortable and is a hurdle that restricts our economic development. Similarly, it is precisely because of a friendly and respectable scientist, Xu Guangxian, that our country has a hard product that restricts from Western countries such as the United States, that is rare earth , which makes these countries have a headache. If my country cuts off the supply of rare earths, high-end industries in the United States and other countries will be hit hard, such as advanced instruments, satellites, aviation, missiles, and aircraft.
Rare Earth ore
Rare Earth is not earth, it is an extremely precious and rare mineral resource. The metal elements extracted from rare earths are mainly used in high-end industries and are indispensable elements for the production of various high-end industrial products. Therefore, rare earths are known as "industrial MSG" and are priceless treasures given to mankind by God. However, the distribution of rare earths on the earth is extremely balanced, mainly in China, Mongolia, Australia, the United States and other countries. my country has more than 40% of the resources of all rare earths, and its annual production volume is large in the world. It is the country with the largest export volume of rare earths in the world, accounting for 90% of all exports. Before the 1990s, because my country did not have the ability to process rare earths, and our relevant departments lacked understanding of the importance of rare earths, my country exported a large amount of rare earth raw materials to Western countries such as the United States and Japan, and the export price was similar to the bargain price. Seeing that China's rare earth export price is so cheap, the United States stopped mining of its own rare earths and protected its own resources. Japan and other countries also frantically purchased my country's rare earths and hoarded them. Looking back on that history is heartbreaking.
Xu Guangxian
Since the 1990s, many knowledgeable people in our country have finally realized the importance of rare earths in our country and can no longer be exported at bargain prices. This is a shame. We must develop our rare earth processing capabilities and protect our country's rare earth resources. Therefore, under the leadership of Xu Guangxian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the relevant departments overcome difficulties and finally mastered the process of extracting and purification of rare earth separation methods. They basically squeezed the rare earths dry, thereby extracting various precious rare metal elements, completely breaking the United States' monopoly on rare earth processing, and far exceeding the United States' level of rare earth processing, making the United States far beyond its reach.
Scientific research
Entering this century, our country is no longer blocked by the United States' technology. Instead, the United States wants to import many rare earth elements from China that they cannot produce. It is subject to our country's face.
Xu Guangxian and Hu Jintao
Since 2005, Academician Xu Guangxian, who was 85 years old, joined hands with 14 Chinese Academy of Sciences Academicians to suggest to the central government many times that it is necessary to control the export quantity, protect China's rare earth resources and protect my country's environment. These wise suggestions were approved by the central government. At that time, Premier Wen Jiabao decided to limit China's rare earth production and export scale.
Xu Guangxian and Wen Jiabao
Now, my country has strictly integrated rare earth resources, resolutely curb the illegal private procurement and smuggling and trafficking, resolutely curb the export of rare earth raw materials, mainly exporting high-value-added products of rare earths, and strictly control quantity.
Nowadays, my country is at the highest level in the world in various fields such as rare earth development, rare earth protection, and rare earth processing. The reason why we have achieved such a high level is that we must never forget Xu Guangxian, the "father of rare earths", and we pay tribute to the respected Mr. Xu!
