On Tuesday, China's Ministry of Commerce announced a tightening of controls over the export of certain dual-use items to the United States, citing the need to protect national security and fulfill international obligations regarding non-proliferation.
According to the statement released on the MOC's website, exports of dual-use items to U.S. military users or for military applications will be prohibited. Generally, the export of dual-use items associated with gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials to the United States will not be allowed. Furthermore, exports of the dual-use item graphite will undergo stricter examinations pertaining to end-users and the purpose of use.
This new measure takes effect immediately upon publication, the MOC indicated.
Organizations or individuals from any country or region that violate these provisions by transferring or supplying relevant dual-use items originating from the People's Republic of China to the United States will face legal consequences, the statement noted.
Dual-use items refer to goods, technologies, and services that can be utilized for both civilian and military ends or that may enhance military capabilities, particularly in the design, development, production, or use of weapons of mass destruction and related delivery systems.
A spokesperson from the MOC clarified that this decision aligns with Chinese laws, including the Export Control Law of the People's Republic of China, in response to a media inquiry about the recent actions.
"In recent years, the United States has overstretched the concept of national security, politicized and weaponized economic and technological issues, abused export control measures, arbitrarily restricted the export of relevant products to China, and put a number of Chinese companies on the sanctions list to suppress and contain them," the spokesperson stated.
The spokesperson also asserted that U.S. practices have severely undermined international trade rules, compromised the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and disrupted the stability of global industrial and supply chains.
Emphasizing China's commitment to promoting high-standard openness and opposing any misrepresentation of national security concepts, the spokesperson indicated that China is prepared to enhance dialogue on export control with relevant countries and regions to collectively support the security and stability of global industrial and supply chains.
