China issued Wednesday its first white paper on export controls to provide a full picture of related policies and help the international community better understand its position. The document, titled “China’s Export Controls” and released by the State Council Information Office, elaborated on China’s position, institutions, and practices in improving export control governance, as well as its commitments and actions to safeguard world peace and development, and security at national and international level.
The main body of the white paper consists of four parts: China’s basic position on export control, continued improvement to the legal and regulatory system for export control, modernization of the export control system, and international exchanges and cooperation.
The world is undergoing profound changes of a scale unseen in a century, with an increase in destabilizing factors and uncertainties, disruption to international security and order, and challenges and threats to world peace, the white paper said. – Xinhua
