Beijing, April 9 /Xin Hua/ — Applications for the export of rare earth metals that meet established requirements, including the requirement for use for legitimate civilian purposes, will be approved in accordance with the law. This was announced on Thursday by the official representative of the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, He Yadong.
In response to the question of whether the United States should be concerned about China reimposing restrictions on the export of rare earth metals to this country, He Yadun noted that China remains committed to ensuring the security and stability of global production and supply chains, fully taking into account reasonable civilian needs and concerns worldwide, including those of the United States, actively promoting and simplifying trade in accordance with the relevant rules.
