Deep News15:30

On October 21, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference.

A correspondent from Agence France-Presse asked a question, noting that according to reports, Japan's reserves of the key rare earth element yttrium are about to be exhausted and can only last for a few more months. Japan has already requested assistance from the United States and urged China to relax relevant export controls. What comment does the Foreign Ministry have on this?

Mao Ning pointed out that China implements export controls on Japan in accordance with laws and regulations, with the aim of stopping Japan's "re-militarization" and nuclear weapons ambitions.

China's position of safeguarding the stability and security of the global production and supply chain of key minerals remains unchanged, and all parties have the responsibility to play a constructive role in this regard.
