Ministry of Commerce Responds to Rare Earth Controls, US 100% Tariff Threat, and Port Fee Countermeasures

Paragraph 1: Purpose and Implementation of Rare Earth Export Controls
On October 9, China’s Ministry of Commerce implemented export controls on rare earth-related items, emphasizing that this move is a legitimate step to improve the export control system in accordance with laws and regulations. The aim is to fulfill international non-proliferation obligations and maintain global peace and regional stability. The Ministry clarified that the controls do not constitute a ban on exports. Export applications for civilian purposes that comply with regulations will be approved. Additionally, relevant countries and regions have been notified through bilateral export control dialogue mechanisms to ensure minimal impact on global industrial chains.

Paragraph 2: Firm Opposition to US Tariff Threats and Unfair Controls
In response to the US threat to impose 100% tariffs and expand export controls, the Ministry of Commerce pointed out that the US has abused the concept of “national security” and adopted discriminatory measures, severely undermining the atmosphere of China-US economic and trade consultations and global industrial chain stability. China emphasized that it does not want a trade war but is not afraid of one. It urged the US to correct its mistakes and return to the path of consultation. Otherwise, China will firmly take countermeasures to protect its legitimate rights and interests.

Paragraph 3: Reciprocal Countermeasures Against US Port Fees
In response to the US decision to impose port fees on Chinese vessels starting October 14, China has decided to levy Special Port Fees on US-related vessels in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The Ministry of Commerce stated that this is a necessary defensive measure against US unilateralism, aimed at maintaining a fair environment in international shipping. It called on the US to acknowledge its mistakes and work with China to resolve differences through dialogue.
