.Recently, the news about the international community's response to China's rare earth monopoly has finally gradually spread.

According to relevant reports from the New York Times, a large rare earth mine with light and heavy rare earths has recently appeared in the United States in the Diamond River area of ​​Idaho and the Lemhai Pass at the junction of Idaho and Montana.

If the US rare earth mining company's assessment of the above minerals is accurate, these two places can now meet the domestic rare earth demand of the United States for a long time, and Iowa is therefore called the US rare earth state.

The executive president of the American Rare Earth Mining Company said that it can be determined now that the Diamond River area is the rare earth mine with the largest reserves and the least difficult mining, and there are power plants and roads not far from the above-mentioned production areas, which will be put into production soon. However, the mining cost of these minerals is relatively high, and the company needs to invest about 500 million or even one billion US dollars in investment.

American media also pointed out that rare earth exploration in Idaho was launched five years ago, but later it was delayed for a long time because the project was not urgent. Recently, China has been raising the export prices of rare earths and controlling the export volume, resulting in a surge in rare earth prices in the international market, which has led to the relevant exploration work becoming active again. Just like Russia previously included rare earth reserves and output data in state secrets, the importance of rare earth resources is becoming increasingly prominent.

However, according to US media, exploring rare earths does not mean that the result is complete. The United States still faces major challenges from re-exploring rare earth states to putting rare earth resources into use. In addition to the high mining costs, the processing and separation technology of rare earths is very difficult and the process is complicated. Therefore, most of the rare earths mined by Uncle Sam are likely to be transported to China, which has unique rare earth separation equipment.

The problem that cannot be ignored is that the United States still has to face the challenge of insufficient reserves of rare earth resources and poor access channels. Data shows that China's rare earth resources are currently the richest in the world, about six times that of the United States. At the same time, the US Congress also agrees that the dominant position of global rare earth supply and production belongs to China, which means that the United States has no initiative to obtain rare earth resources in its own hands in the future.

The U.S. Congressman also proposed a bill recently, suggesting that the United States take measures to establish a globally competitive domestic strategic raw material industry to ensure self-sufficiency in the U.S. market and diversify mining, processing, smelting and manufacturing. At the same time, the bill also requires the Department of Defense to start purchasing rare earth minerals that are crucial to national security and include them in national reserves. Especially after the law comes into effect, the National Defense Reserve Center should directly purchase rare earths from China for use in the next five years.

In addition, the bill calls for confirming the current global market conditions of rare earths, foreign judgments on their strategic value, the vulnerability of rare earth supply chains in the Pentagon and domestic manufacturing industries, etc., and requires the Secretary of Defense, Commerce, Energy, Interior and Secretary of State of the U.S. federal government to appoint assistant ministers to form a special inter-departmental working group to evaluate the rare earth resource supply chain and decide on rare earth raw materials that are critical to national and economic security.

"Some analysts pointed out that the above proposal did not require federal investment, and the industry also tended to carry out policy legislation rather than seeking large-scale financial support. This shows that the proposal and related actions of the industry are more about emphasizing the increase in rare earth resource reserves to strategic heights. The United States has clearly adjusted its own rare earth strategic reserves." Zi Qi on the TV screen is discussing with the guests about a series of rare earth policies recently by Europe, the United States and Japan to China. "In fact, Europe has also made the same choice in a similar situation as the United States. Not long ago, the EU announced the establishment of a strategic reserve of rare earths. The EU will seek to establish better and less vulnerable to damage in the global market, increase the exploration and mining of raw materials within Europe. At the same time, the EU will also improve the efficiency of raw material utilization and shorten the recycling cycle to reduce the demand for raw materials in the EU."

"Rare earths are called industrial vitamins and have extremely important uses in the military field, especially in missile guidance. China controls more than 90% of the world's rare earth resources. Mr. Deng once compared China's rare earths with oil in the Middle East. Overseas media said that OPEC can only control about two-thirds of the world's oil reserves, but China can control 93% of the rare earths. But we must also see that China has been cheaply supplying rare earths to the world at the price of cabbage for many years. Now that China wants to re-arrange this resource and control its exports, the West is shouting that China will tighten the world's neck. This is unfair!" A researcher, a guest, expressed opposition to the opinions of Europe and the United States.

Shen Ying was sitting on the sand and drinking porridge. When she saw Fan Wubing watching the "Daily Financial Interview" program hosted by Zi Qi, she smiled and said, "What kind of mood should it be to watch the TV program hosted by her lover in front of her wife?"

Fan Wubing had already become adaptable to these strange problems of Shen Ying. Hearing this, he scratched his head and said, "What's the mood? It should be quite complicated."

When Shen Ying was about to continue asking him what a complicated method was, Fan Wubing's phone rang again.

Fan Wubing listened to it for a while, but his relationship has always been good. Sheng Wei, a beautiful reporter from "Oriental News Interview", called him. I hope to interview Fan Wubing about the rare earth situation that has started to be hotly hyped recently.

"Well--" Fan Wubing thought about it for a while, looked at Shen Ying, and then replied, "Okay."

The next day, Fan Wubing saw that Shen Ying was in good condition, so he did not ask her to have an infusion again. For ordinary people, if they don’t have any experience in infusion, or can solve the problem in one go, of course, this depends on the situation. If the inflammation is severe, then you have to follow the doctor’s advice to inject enough times.

A company in Zhongjianlingxi Province called and said that the case of Pang Mingyu finally had a preliminary conclusion and planned to be sentenced to eleven years for corruption, bribery and dereliction of duty. On the contrary, Yang Lili's husband Ji Yongqing and others were still sentenced to high sentences. Although the death penalty in the first and second instances was abandoned, it was still sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

"The sheltering mentality in Lingxi Province is still quite serious." Fan Wubing is very dissatisfied with this. If we look at the crimes committed by Pang Mingyu and their harm, it is more appropriate to sentence death, and the deterrence effect of criminals is also better. Now such a painless treatment plan is simply tickling.

The so-called eleven-year prison sentence is, when he reaches the deputy ministerial level, he probably can't even use two years to go out and wander. Fan Wubing doesn't want to see Pang Mingyu swaggeringly squandering money on the streets and mountains, so he feels that he should do something.

Of course, this meaning cannot be expressed directly from one's own mouth. In that case, even if a businessman interferes in politics, the impact will be relatively bad. You also need to worry about your identity and cannot cross the boundaries, otherwise it will easily cause suspicion. Therefore, Lingxi still needs to save a lot of effort in this matter.

So Fan Wubing revealed a little bit of antonyms with the branch of Lingxi Province, which means that the conditions in Lingxi Province are a little worse than those in brother provinces. The possibility of being a major aviation manufacturing base is relatively small, or it may be that this aviation manufacturing base will be selected in the eastern province.

This intention soon reached the ears of the governor of Lingxi Province Guan Luping, and he suddenly felt that the news came a little strange.

As the governor of Lingxi Province, Guan Luping had a regular contact with the Lingxi Branch of Fan Investment Group. Especially after the recent investigation of the entire Lingxi Province by Fan and his son, the provincial government's attention to the Lingxi Branch of Fan Investment Group has increased by more than one level.

This time, the intention to deal with the Pang Mingyu case was able to reach Fan Wubing's ears so quickly. In fact, it was also caused by the information exchange with the Lingxi Branch of Fan's Investment Group. At this time, Fan Wubing's feedback was obviously in contrast to previous considerations.

The only possibility is probably that Fan Wubing is very dissatisfied with Pang Mingyu's handling opinions, so he proposed the location of the transfer aviation manufacturing base.

However, Guan Luping also felt a little embarrassed. In the case of Pang Mingyu, Lingxi Province has certainly had an influence, but it would not be very large. The most important thing is to look at the opinions above. Although the highest level means to handle it realistically, there have been people interfering in the middle links. This has led to the gradually transforming into weakening Pang Mingyu's crimes, and Lingxi Province has no influence on this.

Besides, as provincial cadres, even Guan Luping and others are unwilling to take advantage of the situation at this time. Otherwise, what kind of rebound will be caused, the influence on people like me will be very bad in the future.

Therefore, Guan Luping and others discussed it and added codes to Pang Mingyu's crime information, which was enough to make him bear the main responsibility in this case. He thought that this time he could probably send Pang Mingyu to heaven?

Just after they passed the new handling plan to Fan Wubing, the judge in charge of the trial of the case said that it would be at most twenty years, and would not be considered if it was too much, and it also said that Lingxi Province no longer needed to provide new evidence.

After the news reached Fan Wubing's ears, Fan Wubing became furious immediately. If he had hoped to give Pang Mingyu a life sentence, then his current intention was to have Pang Mingyu sentenced to death.

The opinions of several members of the Politburo Standing Committee were not respected, and the people in the middle were too brave!

Therefore, Fan Wubing clearly stated that if Pang Mingyu is not dead, the environment in Lingxi Province will be unstable. Not only will the aviation manufacturing base be lost in Lingxi Province, but also other investments of Fan's Investment Group will not consider Lingxi Province.

As a result, officials in Lingxi Province felt tremendous pressure and could feel the anger from Fan Wubing. Although they could not confirm whether this was the intention of Fan Heng and other senior management, at least the situation before them was that once Fan's Investment Group no longer considered investing in Lingxi Province and the new aviation manufacturing base did not consider Lingxi Province, this would directly cause Lingxi Province to be unable to enjoy a sumptuous cake that originally belonged to them in the next few years.

What do officials rely on to take office? Isn’t they political achievements? Now they want to achieve political achievements, they just need to expand GDP numbers. If the aviation manufacturing base led by Fan Wubing is really settled in Lingxi Province, then the huge investment will suddenly make the economy of Lingxi Province take off, not to mention how great the overall plan will play in the long-term promotion of Lingxi Province.

If you offend Fan Wubing and even Fan Heng behind him because of Pang Mingyu's affairs, not only will you not be the turn of making achievements in the economy, but you will not be able to pass the decision vote that Fan Heng has as a member of the Standing Committee! Agree or denial is just a matter of changing the mind in the eyes of those members of the Standing Committee. But for those provincial officials who want to get promoted, it is equivalent to a judgment that determines life and death!

To understand the intentions of the leader have always been the top priority for officials to practice. At this time, such an obvious intention of the leader is placed in front of you. How to choose is clear at a glance. Although the attack on Pang Mingyu cannot escape the suspicion of taking advantage of the situation, it is the best time for him to work for Fan Heng and Fan Wubing.

Once they receive dual care from their father and son in politics and business, their success is just around the corner.

After understanding this situation, you will no longer hesitate about how to choose.

Therefore, Guan Luping arranged the matter for a while, and immediately more bad deeds about Pang Mingyu were released, and several murders were also exposed, all of which were involved in Pang Mingyu. The punishment of several crimes was enough to make Pang Mingyu go to heaven.

In fact, once the grassroots level has to tear someone up, they must kill someone, and they can expose enough power. Just like now, if you bite Pang Mingyu, even the superior court will do nothing. You can only do something like helping the matter to a certain extent. Once you pass a certain bottom line, they will not be able to withstand this pressure.

The biggest obstacle to this matter is that the grassroots and the upper levels have the same attitude towards Pang Mingyu, so it is too difficult to operate.

Therefore, two days later, the verdict on Pang Mingyu was concluded and the death penalty was imposed.

However, in order to vent his dissatisfaction, Ji Yongqing and others involved in the case were also sentenced to death, which was considered to be buried with Pang Mingyu.
Chapter completed!
