The Ministry of Commerce will further
improve the country's export control list and release it in due course,
an official said Thursday. Export
control is a common international practice in which a country prohibits
or restricts the export of specific items, Gao Feng, spokesperson for
the ministry, told an online press briefing. His
remarks came after China's top legislature on Saturday passed a law on
export control, which would go into effect on December 1. China
started export control legislation as early as 2017 in a bid to better
fulfill international obligations and safeguard its own security and
interests, Gao said. China may take
countermeasures against any country or region that misuses export
control measures and poses a threat to the country's national security
and interests, according to the new law. The
law also specifies that technical documentation related to the items
covered by the law is also subject to export control stipulations.
