China News Service, Beijing, October 19 (Reporter Yin Qianyun) The Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, and the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission jointly issued an announcement on the 19th on optimizing and adjusting export control measures for drone-related items. The relevant measures will be officially implemented on November 18.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said that the drone-related items involved in this measure have obvious dual-use attributes, and China has optimized and adjusted the relevant measures in accordance with laws and regulations to safeguard national security and interests and fulfill international obligations such as non-proliferation. At the same time, China is committed to maintaining the security and stability of the global industrial and supply chains, reviewing relevant export license applications in accordance with laws and regulations, and will approve applications that comply with regulations.

"Dynamic adjustment of export control measures is a common international practice." The spokesperson said that in recent years, the global drone industry and technology have developed rapidly, and some originally advanced products are now mass consumer products. In the process of implementing export control measures, China actively listens to opinions and suggestions from all parties, and promptly optimizes and adjusts relevant measures after careful evaluation.

The spokesman said that this optimization and adjustment of drone export control measures is based on the latest industrial and technological developments reported by the industry, which fully reflects China’s firm opposition to the illegal use of drones for non-peaceful purposes, and its firm support for Chinese companies to carry out international trade and cooperation in drones in the civilian field.

The spokesperson said that China is willing to communicate and dialogue with relevant parties on export control policies and practices through the bilateral export control dialogue and exchange mechanism. At the same time, China will listen to relevant opinions and suggestions from all parties, further conscientiously fulfill its international obligations such as non-proliferation, and actively promote and facilitate compliant trade.
