On the morning of October 31st, the State Council Information Office held a regular policy briefing to introduce the expansion of green trade. During the press conference, a foreign journalist asked: How does China's recent rare earth export control affect China's green development? Li Chenggang, the representative for international trade negotiations and deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce responded: Export control is about safety issues, green development is a concept. "I understand that your question actually focuses on the relationship between safety and development. In summary, by ensuring safety, we can have better development, and by having better development, we can guarantee stronger security."
