[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Tommy] At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on October 30, a reporter asked that it is reported that the Group of Seven (G7) is about to announce the establishment of a critical mineral production alliance to counter China's dominance in this market. What is China's response to this?

In this regard, spokesman Guo Jiangkun said that China's export control system is normalized and improved, in line with international practice, with the aim of better safeguarding world peace and regional stability, and fulfilling international obligations such as anti-proliferation.

"We urge the G7 to strictly abide by the principles of market economy and international economic and trade rules, stop undermining the international economic and trade order with small circles of rules, and jointly safeguard the stable development of the world economy," Guo said.
