The article contains numerous quotes from Dr. Chen Zhanheng, director of academic department, the Chinese Society of Rare Earths (CSRE).<\/p>\n<p>It is important to remember that the China Daily is essentially a megaphone for the Chinese government&#8230;{snip}&#8230;China has every reason to promote news and studies that reduce that pressure. A forecast of imminent abundant supply appears to defend China&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p>I feel we have already seen some version of this episode. Goldman Sachs (GS) set off a firestorm of controversy in early May when <a href=\"http:\/\/professional.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748703992704576304712512256774.html?mg=reno-secaucus-wsj\">an analyst claimed that rare earth prices would peak in 2012<\/a> as the industry moves from deficit to over-supply after 2013. <\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p>Zhanheng&#8217;s comments imply that overseas demand for rare earths will remain at 50,000 tons for the foreseeable future, but he does not volunteer estimates for China&#8217;s demand&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s efforts at creating domestic reserves belie predictions of imminent over-supply. For example, on June 15, 2011, the WSJ reported in &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/BT-CO-20110615-703713.html\">China To Set Up Strategic Reserve For Heavy Rare Earths -Sources<\/a>&#8221; that China may be moving forward with a heavy rare earth strategic reserve in addition to plans already in place to build a strategic reserve for light rare earths.<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p>On balance, I find plenty of reason to believe that the supply of rare earths will remain challenged for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful out there!<\/p>\n<p><strong>(This is an excerpt from an article I originally published on Seeking Alpha. <a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/275755-chinese-academic-s-rare-earth-forecasts-at-odds-with-industry-experts\">Click here to read the entire piece<\/a>.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: long MCP, GWMGF (Great Western Minerals Group), HREEF (Stans Energy Corp), UURAF (UCore Rare Metals Inc.), GS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(This is an excerpt from an article I originally published on Seeking Alpha.
