In response to a reporter's question about European companies' concerns about China's rare earth export controls, Wang Yi said that the necessary control of dual-use items is the exercise of sovereignty by all countries and is also an international obligation.
China's policies are in line with international practice and are also conducive to maintaining world peace and stability. Rare earth exports have never been and should not become an issue between China and Europe. As long as the export control regulations are followed and the necessary procedures are carried out, the normal needs of European companies will be guaranteed.
The Chinese authorities have also set up a "fast track" for European companies. Some people deliberately hype this matter between China and Europe with ulterior motives.
