The Ministry of Commerce responded to concerns about recent hot issues and resolutely safeguarded its legitimate rights and interests.

CCTV News:Earlier, the United States announced sanctions against two China entities and one Russian entity involved in the development, production and transportation of Russian long-range attack drones. In this regard, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said that China resolutely opposes unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that have no basis in international law and are authorized by the UN Security Council.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said that China has strict control measures on the export of military products and dual-use goods for military and civilian use, requiring enterprises to conduct international trade in related controlled items in accordance with laws and regulations. Since the Ukrainian crisis, China has repeatedly issued announcements on the control of drones, and clearly stipulated that uncontrolled civil drones should not be used for military purposes in violation of regulations. Relevant departments have strengthened the review of export licenses for drones in accordance with the law, and intensified the inspection of illegal exports.

He Yadong, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said that China resolutely opposes unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that have no basis in international law and are authorized by the UN Security Council. China will resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests against any vicious act of suppressing and sanctioning Russian enterprises on the grounds of China’s involvement.

Ministry of Commerce of China: Export control is an international practice.

At the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce of China on the 24th, spokesman He Yadong introduced that recently, the regulations on export control of dual-use items in People’s Republic of China (PRC) were issued. Export control is an international common practice, and this regulation is a refinement of the export control law, with the aim of integrating the existing decentralized system provisions.

He Yadong said that dual-use items are goods, technologies and services that have both civilian and military uses, or help to enhance military potential, especially those that can be used to design, develop, produce or use weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. Improper use after export may endanger national security and affect world peace and security.

He Yadong said that export control is an international common practice, and this regulation is a refinement of the export control law, with the purpose of integrating the existing decentralized system regulations, ensuring that the policy provisions are more unified, standardized and transparent, and enhancing operability.

Ministry of Commerce of China: The investigation of PVH Group in the United States is being promoted in an orderly manner according to law.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, recently, relevant institutions suggested and reported to the working mechanism of the list of unreliable entities that the PVH Group of the United States was suspected of violating the normal market trading principles and boycotting Xinjiang cotton and other products for no reason, seriously damaging the legitimate rights and interests of relevant China enterprises and endangering China’s sovereignty, security and development interests. According to the Regulations on the List of Unreliable Entities, the working mechanism of the List of Unreliable Entities decided to initiate an investigation into the relevant behaviors of PVH Group. In response, He Yadong, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, responded at the press conference on the 24th.

He Yadong revealed that the working mechanism of the list of unreliable entities is promoting the investigation of PVH Group in the United States in an orderly manner according to law. During the investigation, PVH Group’s rights of statement and defense will be fully protected. After that, the working mechanism will make corresponding decisions according to the investigation in accordance with the Provisions on the List of Unreliable Entities.

He Yadong said that China has always handled the list of unreliable entities cautiously, and only targeted at a very small number of foreign entities that violated the market rules and the laws of China. Foreign entities that are honest and law-abiding need not worry at all. As always, the China government welcomes enterprises from all over the world to invest in China, and is committed to providing a stable, fair and predictable business environment for law-abiding and law-abiding foreign-funded enterprises to operate in China.
