Foreign Ministry Spokesperson’s Statement on the Promulgation of Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Export Control of Missiles
25 August
2002
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.
