The Chinese Government has just promulgated Regulations
of the People’s Republic of China on Export Control of
Missiles and Missile-related Items and Technologies
and the attached Missiles
and Missile-related Items and Technologies Export Control
List, which set forth in clear terms further
measures for the export control of sensitive missile-related
items and technologies. The Regulations and the Control List
have entered into force as of the date of its promulgation.
It represents another important step taken by the Chinese
Government in line with its non-proliferation
policies.
China attaches great importance to
non-proliferation and stands against the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. As a
state party to a series of international treaties on
non-proliferation, the Chinese Government has faithfully
honoured its international obligations. On the export of
missiles and missile-related dual-use items and
technologies, China has always taken a prudent and
responsible attitude and strictly carried out its
non-proliferation policies as well as international
commitments in this regard.
For years, China
has, in light of international and domestic developments,
been improving its export control regimes through
reviewing its own export control practice and drawing on
other countries’ experiences. A series of regulations,
aimed at enhancing export control over sensitive items, have
been successively promulgated. The promulgation of
Regulations on Export Control of Missiles and
Missile-related Items and Technologies and the attached
Control List marks a new step forward in China’s legal
framework for export control.
China will
continue to take an active part in the international
cooperation in non-proliferation, stand ready to conduct
in-depth exchanges and consultation with all parties and
actively participate in multi-lateral discussions and
cooperation in this regard. We are prepared to work with all
parties concerned to strengthen and improve the
international non-proliferation regime on the basis of
universal participation and
non-discrimination.
