Abstract:

China imported iron ores since 1981 and became the biggest iron ore importer in 2003 replacing Japan. Since 2004, China officially took part in the global iron ore price negotiation, and the price continuously rose for five years up to 397.8%. As the biggest iron ore importer, China should have had speaking power in pricing. This paper analyzes the causes why China lost the speaking power in pricing iron ore and presents approaches to the global iron ore pricing.

Key words: iron ore, leading role in price, approaches

摘要：

中国从1981年开始进口铁矿石，于2003年取代日本成为世界铁矿石最大进口国。自中国2004年正式参与国际铁矿石谈判以来，国际铁矿石价格已连续5年上涨，涨幅达397.8%。作为全球最大的铁矿石进口国，中国理应对铁矿石的国际市场价格具有更大话语权，但现实却是残酷的。本文通过梳理中国国际铁矿石定价主导权缺失的原因，来寻求行之有效的对策。
