China's decision to tighten controls on the export of specific dual-use items to the United States arose from the need to safeguard its own security and development interests, as well as fulfill its international non-proliferation obligations, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

The move, based on relevant laws and regulations, is a reasonable measure taken by the country, said He Yadong, a spokesman for the ministry, at a news conference.

The term "dual-use items" refers to goods, technologies and services that can be used for both civil and military purposes.

The measures include a ban on exporting such items to US military users or for military purposes, as well as stricter regulations on exports to the US of items related to gallium, germanium, antimony, superhard materials, and graphite, according to a previous statement by the ministry.

Since implementing export controls on antimony-related items on Sept 15, China has received multiple applications for export permits and is currently reviewing them in accordance with established procedures, He said.

Exports that comply with relevant regulations will be granted permits, He said, stressing that China remains committed to expanding high-level opening-up and will work with all parties to maintain the stable and unimpeded operation of global supply chains through enhanced dialogue on export control issues.
