The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has issued formal responses to several pressing international trade issues. Regarding restrictions on rare earth exports, the ministry emphasized that the measures are designed to improve the export control system in line with legal frameworks and do not constitute a comprehensive export ban. Applications complying with relevant regulations will continue to be approved. Prior to implementation, China conducted extensive impact assessments and concluded that the effects would be limited.
Responding to the U.S. threat to impose 100% additional tariffs, China voiced firm opposition, labeling the move an example of “double standards.” The ministry pointed to longstanding U.S. misuse of export controls and discriminatory practices targeting China, which have severely disrupted the stability of global industrial and supply chains. Beijing called on Washington to correct its misguided approach and engage in dialogue to address concerns.
On the issue of U.S. port fees applied to Chinese vessels, China will impose special port service charges on related U.S. ships as a countermeasure. The ministry described the step as a necessary and defensive action aimed at protecting the legitimate interests of Chinese industries and businesses, while promoting a fair competitive environment in international shipping.
China reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing communication and cooperation with all countries to jointly safeguard the security and stability of global industrial and supply chains.
