關於"稀土資源爭奪"

近十年，日本，美國，法國，澳洲，烏克蘭？等地都發現蘊藏量豐富的各種稀土資源，問題牽涉到開採的時效和技術 (如日本須深海開採和環保技術(最近紐約時報中譯中國內蒙古等地開採犧牲人民健康和環保.....))，經濟效益(世界各大公司多從事舊/廢棄產品中回收......)
"稀土資源爭奪戰"不像日本的"漢方中藥"的從頭來，自己搞，諸問題待解決。

美中之間的稀土資源爭奪，正進入關鍵轉折點。長期以來，中國掌握全球約85%的稀土產能，將其視為戰略資產，多次藉此作為對外談判的籌碼，美國高度依賴進口、供應鏈脆弱。最近，美國在懷俄明州發現具經濟規模的稀土礦藏，情勢出現重大改變。該礦預估年產1,242噸稀土氧化物，包括釹、鏑和鈧，可供應全美3–5%的永久磁體需求，有助重塑美國在高科技與新能源產業的自主基礎，減少對中國依賴。這場資源競賽不僅關乎經濟利益，更牽動軍事與科技主導權，美中之間的地緣科技對抗已從晶片延伸至稀土，將深刻影響全球戰略格局。//

紐約時報美國VS中國 (21~22世紀)：世界能源大戰略

北京正在向世界出售清潔能源，華盛頓則大力推動石油和天然氣發展。兩國都出於國家安全的考量。

Beijing is selling clean energy to the world, Washington is pushing oil and gas. Both are driven by national security.

去年，中國安裝的風力渦輪機和太陽能電池板數量超過了世界其他地區的總和。中國的清潔能源熱潮正走向全球。中國企業正在巴西、泰國、摩洛哥、匈牙利等地建造電動車和電池工廠。

同時，在美國，川普總統正在敦促日本和韓國投資「數萬億美元」用於向亞洲輸送天然氣的計畫。通用汽車剛剛取消了在紐約州布法羅附近的一家工廠生產電動車的計劃，轉而投資8.88億美元在那裡生產V-8汽油引擎。

In China, more wind turbines and solar panels were installed last year than in the rest of the world combined. And China’s clean energy boom is going global. Chinese companies are building electric vehicle and battery factories in Brazil, Thailand, Morocco, Hungary and beyond.

At the same time, in the United States, President Trump is pressing Japan and South Korea to invest “trillions of dollars” in a project to ship natural gas to Asia. And General Motors just killed plans to make electric motors at a factory near Buffalo, N.Y., and instead will put $888 million into building V-8 gasoline engines there.

While Trump called Zelenkyy's pushback "very harmful" to talks, Ukraine's leader said his country is ready for any format of negotiations that might bring a ceasefire and open the door to full peace negotiations. #9News
