# The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions regarding the recent announcement by the U.S. to impose additional tariffs and other restrictive measures on China

A reporter asked: Recently, U.S. officials stated that after learning about China's export control measures on rare earths and related items, they proposed a call with China, but China postponed this suggestion. At the same time, the U.S. expressed that both sides need to find a way to return to a stable situation. What is the Ministry of Commerce's comment on this?

Answer: China has noted the relevant situation. Recently, China has clarified its position regarding the U.S. threat to impose a 100% tariff on China and other restrictive measures. I would like to reiterate that the export control measures on rare earths and related items are legitimate actions taken by the Chinese government in accordance with laws and regulations to improve its own export control system. As a responsible major country, China firmly maintains its national security and international common security. China's export control is not a ban on exports; applications that meet the regulations will continue to be approved, jointly maintaining the safety and stability of the global supply chain. Before the measures were implemented, China had informed the U.S. through the bilateral export control dialogue mechanism. In contrast, the U.S. has long generalized national security, abused export controls, and adopted discriminatory practices against China. Especially since the China-U.S. Madrid economic and trade talks, the U.S. has continuously introduced a series of restrictive measures against China, seriously harming China's interests and severely disrupting the atmosphere of economic and trade talks between the two sides. China firmly opposes this
