Abstract  
According to the data of the U.S. Geological Survey released in 2006, the basic reserves of    rare earth in the world amounted to 154 million tons. China’s rare earth reserves account for 57% of the world’s total, ranking the first, followed by Commonwealth of Independent States, U.S.A., Australia and India. Currently, the global rare earth inventories can last for 1.5 years in static use and the world’s rare earth reserves may last for more than 200 years in static use.

Although China has the largest rare earth reserves in the world, its share of rare earth resources in the global total is on the downward trend. China's per capita possession of rare earth has dropped to 21g/person from 33g/person in 1998.

In 2007，China carried out mandatory management plan on the production of rare earth products and smelting & separating rare earth products. In the year, the output of rare earth products was 120,800 tons, (by REO，the same hereinafter)，down 8.83% year on year, and the output of smelting and separating rare earth products was 126,000 tons (including nearly 18,000 tons from waste recovery)，down 19.75% year on year.

The report is based on the authoritative data from the Chinese Associate of Rare Earth Industry, the Chinese Society of Rare Earths, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, the General Administration of Customs of China, the State Information Center and the National Bureau of Statistics of China and the information from financial reports of some key companies.
