BEIJING, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- China exported 16,000 tonnes of rare earth to Japan in the first nine months of the year, equivalent to 49.8 percent of its total rare earth exports, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said Tuesday.The figure was a 167-percent year-on-year rise, MOC spokesman Yao Jian said at a press conference.Exports to the United States increased 5.5 percent year on year to 62 million tonnes during the same period, equivalent to 19 percent of China's total rare earth exports.China exported 32,200 tonnes of rare earth in the first nine months of the year at an average price of 14,800 U.S. dollars per tonne.Yao said the Chinese government has tightened regulations concerning the development, production and export of rare earth out of concern for the environment.China cut its 2010 rare earth export quota 39 percent year on year while rare earth development and production capacities were reduced by 25 percent and 23 percent, respectively, he said.In addition, China has added a 15- to 25-percent export duty on rare earth exports while banning the export of 41 rare earth-related processed products.China's restrictive policies have been criticized by Japan, the United States and European countries. They said China's restrictions on rare earth exports violate World Trade Organization rules. China refutes such claims."China's restrictive measures comply with WTO rules, as the steps were taken in the whole process of exploitation, production and export," Yao said.China continued to export rare earth in recent years even as environmental pressures grew and resource-depletion approached, he added.He said China hopes other rare earth-rich nations will develop their own resources while adding that China is ready to cooperate with other nations to mine and process rare earth in an environmentally-friendly way.Rare earth is a key component in the manufacture of high-tech products ranging from computers to airplanes. But mining rare earth is a highly-polluting process.With a 90 percent share of the world rare earth trade, China's export quotas are a sensitive issue. In early November, the MOC denied suggestions there would be a drastic reduction in 2011 rare earth export quotas.

ZHENGZHOU, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese court Wednesday upheld the death sentences with two year reprieves given to two mine bosses found responsible for a gas explosion that killed 76 people at a central China coal mine last year.The sentences were the first time mine bosses in China held responsible for a fatal accident were given the death penalty.The provincial high court in Henan Province rejected the appeals of Li Xinjun, former head of the No. 4 coal mine in the Xinhua District of Pingdingshan City, and Han Erjun, former deputy head of the mine.The court also rejected appeals filed by three other managers of the mine who were sentenced to 13 years, 15 years and life imprisonment respectively.The Intermediate Court of Pingdingshan City sentenced the five mine bosses on November 16 for neglecting safety procedures and forcing miners to work underground despite knowing the mine lacked adequate safety measures.The blast ripped through the No. 4 mine in Pingdingshan City on September 8, 2009, as 93 miners worked underground, killing 76 and injuring 15 others.The mine was under technological renovation at the time of the blast and did not have a safe production license, the court has found.China's coal mines are notorious for deadly accidents. More than 2,600 miners were killed in mine accidents in China last year, a number significantly less than in previous years.

QINGDAO, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- Chinese maritime authorities Thursday added two large sea surveillance ships to its fleet in a bid to better protect the country's maritime rights and interests.The two patrol ships, in the 1,000- and 1,500-tonne classes, respectively, were added to the North Sea fleet of the China Maritime Surveillance Force in the eastern coastal city of Qingdao.They will be used to crack down on violations of China's maritime interests, illegal use of Chinese seawaters and damages to its sea environment, resources and infrastructures, said Fang Jianmeng, head of the North Sea branch of the State Oceanic AdministrationThe ships will also patrol China's waters to monitor polluting incidents, said Fang.This is part of a 1.6-billion-yuan (241-million U.S. dollar) plan the State Council, or China's cabinet, unveiled in 1999 to add 13 1,000-tonne-plus sea patrol ships and five patrol helicopters to patrol the nation's waters.The first group of six large patrol ships and two helicopters joined the China Maritime Surveillance Force under the State Oceanic Administration in November 2005.A senior official of the China Maritime Surveillance Force, who declined to give his full name, told Xinhua that the agency has finished building the second group of three patrol ships and has purchased three helicopters."The remaining four vessels will be put into use before June this year," said the official, surnamed Wu.The fleet expansion came as China is facing an increasingly heavier burden of safeguarding its seas rights and interests, said Wu.China's Ocean Development Report 2010 released last May said the country's maritime rights and interests faced complicated situations and safety threats.These include sovereignty over islands, sea delimitation, sea resources disputes, protecting the sea environment and new challenges such as delimitation of the continental shelf, safe passage on the seas and terrorism, it stated.China has a coastline of 32,000 km and 350,000 square km of territorial seawaters and internal waters. It also has 3 million square km of its exclusive economic zone as recognized under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."Given the large sea territory, China's maritime surveillance force remains weak, even after all 13 patrol ships join the fleet," said Wu. "They're far from meeting all of our demands."Even following the expansion, the fleet would have only 47 patrol ships, with 26 in the 1,000-tonne-plus class, Wu added.Apart from the three fleets under the China Maritime Surveillance Force that cover the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East Sea and the South Sea, the coastal provinces and municipalities also have their own regional sea patrol forces.The regional forces planned to start building 36 sea patrol vessels this year to expand the county's sea surveillance fleet, Wu added.The expansion is among the key measures that help protect China's maritime interests and promote a sustainable ocean economy, said Zhang Hongsheng, deputy director of the State Oceanic Administration.
