BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhua) — China has taken measures to crack down on smuggling of strategic minerals while continuing to process legitimate applications for their export for civilian use, Ministry of Commerce spokeswoman He Yongqian said Thursday.
Responding to a question about strategic minerals reportedly transiting to the United States, He Yongqian said at a press conference that strategic minerals such as antimony and gallium have obvious dual-use properties, and export controls on them are in line with internationally accepted practices.
In order to resolutely prevent the illegal export of such minerals, China launched a special operation to combat their smuggling in May this year, He Yongqian said, adding that relevant information is available on the ministry's website.
She stressed that China, as a responsible major country, fully takes into account the reasonable civilian needs of various countries for these strategic minerals.
China reviews applications for export licenses in accordance with laws and regulations and approves those that meet the requirements, she said. -0-
