BEIJING, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- China on Wednesday handed out the first group of Internet map service licenses to 31 Chinese and joint-venture operators, after authorities tightened market access amid worries that booming Internet map services might undermine state security.The 31 operators, including a national-level map publisher, several map service providers affiliated with major Chinese portals such as Baidu.com and Sina.com, and nearly a dozen state-owned local research institute or mapping bureaus, obtained a class-A license from the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping.Operators who obtain a class-A license will be allowed to conduct services including map searching and locations, marking geographic information, downloading and copying of maps, and map transmissions and quotations. Class-B licenses will restrict companies to offer services of map searching and locations, as well as geographic information marking.All Internet map services providers will have to apply for a license, while those operating without the license will be prosecuted in China in accordance with the law, said an official from the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, who required anonymity.The official did not elaborate on the deadline for license applications.Foreign-owned or foreign-invested Internet firms can apply for the license in the capacity of joint ventures or through cooperation with Chinese businesses, according to the official.Nokia Alliance Internet Services Company Limited, a joint venture between Nokia and New Alliance, which is part of the Shanghai Alliance Investment Limited, is among the businesses that have obtained a class-A license.

BEIJING, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- China's restrictions on rare earth industry will assist in protecting the environment, Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming said here Saturday."Mass-extraction of rare earth will cause great damage to the environment, that's why China has tightened controls over rare earth production, exploration and trade, " Chen told media during the third China-Japan high-level economic dialogue.He said what China had done was also consistent with the rules of the World Trade Organization.China is the largest producer of rare earth elements, which are used in hybrid car motors, computer hardware and components for high-tech products.Chen said the restriction policy would also have an adverse impact on the Chinese market, where parts for Japanese products were assembled.He stressed that in order to protect the country's environment, China had no choice but to take such measures.During the dialogue, Chen also called on Japan to ease high technology export controls to China and simplify visa procedures for Chinese business people.Japan had expressed concerns over China's export of mineral resources, independent innovation systems and information security policies during the meetings.Chen said, through the dialogue, that the two sides had enhanced communications and increased mutual understanding over these issues.

BEIJING, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- China will reduce its rare earth export quotas next year, but not by a very large margin, Yao Jian, spokesman of China's Ministry of Commerce, said Tuesday."To protect the environment and natural resources, China will stick to the quota system to manage rare earth exports next year, and quotas will also decline," Yao told Xinhua.Though giving no clear extent of the decline, Yao's remarks echoed the comments of Wang Jian, a vice minister of commerce, made Monday at a press conference."I believe China will see no large rise or fall in rare earth exports next year," said Wang.Wang emphasized that China has no embargo on rare earth exports, even though it uses a quota-system as a method of management.Containing a class of 17 chemical elements, rare earths have been widely employed in manufacturing sophisticated products including flat-screen monitors, electric car batteries, wind turbines, missiles and aerospace alloys. However, mining the metals is very damaging to the environment.Chinese officials have said on many occasions that China will strictly protect its non-renewable resources to prevent environmental damages due to over-exploitation and reckless mining.China started the quota system on rare earth exports in 1998 and later banned it in processing trade. In 2006, China stopped granting new rare earth mining licenses and existing mines have since been operating according to government plans.In early September, the State Council, or China's Cabinet, unveiled regulations to encourage merger and acquisitions within the industry.However, China's restrictive policies were criticized by Japan, the United States and other European countries, claiming China's management violated World Trade Organization rules."China has no choice but to take such measures," Chen Deming, China's Commerce Minister, said in August. He pointed out that exports of rare earths should not threaten the country's environment or national security.In response to the increasing criticism of China's rare earth exports management, the spokesman for China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said last week that China "will not use rare earths as a bargaining chip"."It is the common strategy of some countries, such as the United States, to use global resources while conserving their own in their homeland," said Zhang Hanlin, director of China Institute for WTO Studies in China's University of International Business and Economics."Creating conflicts on resource issues for their self interests is a common practice," he said.China is the world's largest producer and exporter of rare earths. With about one-third of all proven rare earth reserves, China's exports account for more than 90 percent of the world total."This shows some countries are conserving rare earth resources," said Yao.Early media reports said China would reduce the export quotas by up to 30 percent in 2011. Yet, this was denied as "false" and "groundless" by the Ministry of Commerce.The ministry said the Chinese government will set the 2011 export quotas based upon the rare earths output, market demand and the needs for sustainable development.It also said China would continue to supply rare earths to the world. Meanwhile, it will also take measures to limit the exploitation, production and exports of rare earths to maintain sustainable development, which is in line with WTO principles."Some countries managed to meet the openness requirement of international trade policies when limiting its resources exports," said Feng Jun, a director of the Shanghai WTO Affairs Consultation Center."China should learn from the experiences and explore its own way of protecting its strategic resources," said Feng.
