On June 12, China's Ministry of Commerce officially announced that it will scrutinize applications for rare earth export licenses in strict adherence to relevant laws and regulations, having already granted approvals to those applications that meet the established criteria. Given the dual-use nature of rare earths in both military and civilian contexts, China's imposition of export controls aligns with prevalent international practices. As a responsible major power, China remains mindful of the civilian requirements of all nations and is committed to enhancing international cooperation, fostering compliant trade practices, and collaboratively ensuring the stability of the global rare earth supply chain.
