The Chinese side urges the G7 to stop undermining the international economic and trade order.

On June 18, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A Reuters reporter asked about the G7 joint statement, which did not explicitly mention China but did focus on reducing dependence on key minerals and rare earth resources. What is the Foreign Ministry's comment on this part of the statement? Lin Jian said that China's position on maintaining the stability and security of the global supply chain for key minerals has not changed, and all parties have a responsibility to play a constructive role in this regard. China's standardizing and improving export control system is in line with international practices, with the aim of better safeguarding world peace and regional stability, and fulfilling international obligations such as non-proliferation. "We urge the G7 to abide by market economy principles and international economic and trade rules, and to stop using the rules of a small circle to disrupt the international economic and trade order," Lin Jian said.
