[World Wide Web Report] On October 16, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian held a regular press conference.

Japan's finance minister said today that the Japanese side is "deeply concerned" about China's announcement last week of extensive export control measures on rare earth, and the G7 should jointly respond.

Lin Jian: We have stated our position on the rare earth export control policy many times. China implements export controls on related items in accordance with the law, with the aim of better safeguarding world peace and regional stability and fulfilling international obligations such as non-proliferation, which is also in line with international practice. We are willing to strengthen export control dialogue and exchanges with other countries to maintain the security and stability of the global production and supply chain.
