Fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory export controls have increasingly prominent status and role in effectively responding to international and regional security risks and challenges under the new situation and maintaining world peace and development. Countries generally attach great importance to and actively promote the import and export control of international trade, and strengthen and standardize export control by establishing and implementing legal systems.

In the white paper "China's Export Control" released by the Information Office of the State Council in December 2021, it was mentioned that China, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and the largest country in the world's goods trade and manufacturing industry, has always been improving its export control governance in the principle of maintaining national security, world peace and regional security.   China aims to better build a new system of an open economy at a higher level and a safe China at a higher level, realize the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security, promote the modernization of the export control system, and achieve new development and achievements in export control governance.

How to coordinate the development and safety of domestic and international overall situation, and do a good job in export control related work, which is related to the national economic security and the business development of enterprises, needs us to actively face, continue to think and properly Resolve. " Zhang Yujing, president of China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products, said.
