It's a very big undertaking. There's a lot of different angles, a lot of different countries involved and we really just need to move faster," the official said. 該官員表示：「緊迫性是今天的主題。這是一項非常龐大的工程，牽涉到許多層面與許多 國家，我們真的必須加快腳步。」 Bessent on Friday told Reuters that he had been pressing for a separate meeting on the issue since a G7 leaders summit in Canada in June, where he delivered a rare earths presentation to gathered heads of state from the U.S., Britain, Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and the European Union. 貝森特週五向路透表示，自去年6月在加拿大舉行的G7領袖高峰會以來，他就一直推動就 此議題召開專門會議。當時他曾向來自美國、英國、日本、加拿大、德國、法國、義大利 及歐盟的元首發表一場有關稀土的簡報。 Leaders agreed to an action plan at the summit to secure their supply chains and boost their economies, but Bessent has grown frustrated about the lack of urgency demonstrated by attendees, the official said. 該官員表示，雖然各國領袖在峰會上同意了一項確保供應鏈安全並促進經濟發展的行動計 畫，但貝森特對與會者缺乏緊迫感日益感到挫折。 Aside from Japan, which took action after China abruptly cut off its critical minerals supplies in 2010, G7 members remain heavily dependent on critical minerals from China, which has threatened to impose strict export controls. 除了日本在2010年中國突然中斷關鍵礦物供應後迅速採取行動之外，其他G7成員國仍高度 依賴來自中國的關鍵礦物，而中國也已威脅將實施更嚴格的出口管制。 China dominates the critical minerals supply chain, refining between 47% and 87% of copper, lithium, cobalt, graphite and rare earths, according to the International Energy Agency. These minerals are used in defense technologies, semiconductors, renewable energy components, batteries and refining processes. 根據國際能源署（IEA）數據，中國在關鍵礦物供應鏈中居於主導地位，精煉全球約47%至 87%的銅、鋰、鈷、石墨與稀土。這些礦物被廣泛應用於國防科技、半導體、再生能源設 備、電池與各種精煉製程。 The U.S. is expected to issue a statement after the meeting, but no specific joint action is likely, the official added. 該官員補充說，美國預計將在會後發布聲明，但不太可能有具體的聯合行動方案出爐。 US URGES OTHERS TO FOLLOW ITS LEAD 美國敦促各國追隨其領導 “The United States is in the posture of calling everyone together, showing leadership, sharing what we have in mind going forward," said the official. " We're ready to move with those who feel a similar level of urgency ... and others can join as they come to the realization of how serious this is." 該官員表示：「美國的立場是召集各方、展現領導力，並分享我們未來的構想。我們準備 好與那些同樣感到高度緊迫的國家一起行動……其他國家也可以在認清此事嚴重性後加入 。」 The official gave no details on what further steps were planned by the Trump administration, which is pushing forward to boost domestic production and reduce reliance on China through agreements with Australia, Ukraine and other producers. 該官員未說明川普政府下一步的具體措施，只表示政府正透過與澳洲、烏克蘭及其他生產 國的協議，推動提升國內產量並降低對中國的依賴。 The U.S. signed an agreement with Australia in October aimed at countering China's dominance in critical minerals that includes an $8.5 billion project pipeline. The deal leverages Australia's proposed strategic reserve, which will supply metals like rare earths and lithium that are vulnerable to disruption. 美國在10月與澳洲簽署一項協議，以對抗中國在關鍵礦物領域的主導地位，該協議包含總 額達85億美元的專案計畫管線。此協議將運用澳洲擬議中的戰略儲備，供應如稀土與鋰等 容易遭受中斷風險的金屬。 The official said there had been progress, but more work was needed. "It's not solved," they added. 該官員表示已有一些進展，但仍需更多努力，「這個問題還沒有解決。」 Canberra has said it has subsequently received interest from Europe, Japan, South Korea and Singapore. 坎培拉方面表示，之後已接獲來自歐洲、日本、南韓與新加坡的合作興趣。 Monday's meeting comes days after reports that China had begun restricting exports to Japanese companies of rare earths and powerful magnets containing them, as well as banning exports of dual-use items to the Japanese military. 這場週一的會議舉行前幾天，已有報導指出中國開始限制向日本企業出口稀土及含稀土的 高性能磁鐵，並禁止向日本軍方出口軍民兩用物資。 The meeting was planned well before that action, U.S. officials said. China was still living up to its commitments to purchase U.S. soybeans and ship critical minerals to U.S. firms. 美國官員表示，這場會議早在中國採取上述行動前就已規劃完成。目前中國仍履行其承諾 ，購買美國黃豆並向美國企業供應關鍵礦物。 心得/評論： 美國正式進入稀土與關鍵礦物供應鏈的戰略加速期 而中國對精煉與出口的控制力 正被視為與能源、晶片同等級的國家安全威脅 --
