Indonesia Dorong Industri Tanah Jarang Terpadu, Tingkatkan Pengembangan Hilir dan Daya Saing Nasional

Recently, China Machinery Industry Federation and China Rare Earth Industry Association held a discussion meeting. At the meeting, the two sides respectively introduced the operational dynamics of their respective industries. China Machinery Industry Federation pointed out that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the number of enterprises above designated size in the machinery industry increased by nearly 50%, and the trade surplus accounted for nearly 60% of the country's total trade surplus in goods, but it still faced challenges in basic parts, green transformation, and coping with international trade frictions. The China Rare Earth Industry Association focused on explaining the strategic landscape of China's rare earth resources—light rare earth needs to expand its applications, heavy rare earth has irreplaceable strategic value, and it directly confronted the impact of raw material price fluctuations on downstream applications.

The 28th Annual Meeting of the China Association for Science and Technology featured a specialized forum on "Materials for Key Components in High-End Equipment" in Hohhot. Hosted by the China Association for Science and Technology, the forum was co-organized by the Chinese Society of Rare Earths, the Chinese Society for Metals, the Inner Mongolia Association for Science and Technology, the Inner Mongolia Society of Rare Earths, Inner Mongolia University, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, and China Northern Rare Earth (Group) High-Tech Co., Ltd. Aligned with the national strategic layout for the new materials industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the forum brought together academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering in the field of rare earth materials, experts from universities and research institutes, and leaders from industry leaders. Discussions focused closely on regional industrial realities and development needs, exploring pathways for advancing rare earth new materials and their cutting-edge applications.

Recently, China Northern Rare Earth successfully built and put into operation a demonstration line for mass-producing rare earth giant magnetostrictive materials, solving the challenge of mass-producing high-end rare earth giant magnetostrictive materials in one stroke, and helping the rare earth industry advance from traditional raw material supply to high-end core application fields such as aerospace, deep-sea exploration, and precision braking.
