China will impose export restrictions on antimony- and superhard materials-related commodities from Sept. 15, according to a statement jointly released Thursday by China's Ministry of Commerce and the country's General Administration of Customs.

The document noted that some products related to antimony and superhard materials cannot be exported without authorization.

The move is aimed at protecting national security as well as fulfilling non-proliferation and other international obligations, the document said.

“It is international practice to implement export controls on antimony, superhard materials and other related items,” a Commerce Ministry spokesperson said in an online statement.

The statement noted that the export controls do not target any specific country or region. China will authorize exports that comply with relevant regulations.

According to the statement, the Chinese government firmly protects world peace and the stability of neighboring regions, ensures the security of global production and supply chains, and promotes trade in accordance with regulations.

At the same time, the Chinese government opposes any countries or regions using China's controlled goods to carry out activities that undermine China's national sovereignty, security and development interests, the statement said.

Over the past five years, the new international land-sea trade corridor has expanded its reach to 523 ports in 124 countries and regions.

The trade corridor, whose operational center is located in Chongqing, Southwest China, connects the world's ports via railroads, sea lanes and highways through such southern Chinese regions as Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province. Yunnan.

According to data released Monday by the coordination center for logistics and operation of the new international land-sea trade corridor, more than 30,000 freight trains have traveled along the corridor in the past 5 years.

From 2019 to 2023, the annual volume of freight traffic on this corridor from Chongqing increased by 50 percent, 45 percent, 54 percent, 32 percent and 21 percent year-on-year respectively.

Over the past five years, the range of goods transported along the trade corridor has expanded from more than 80 to more than 1,150 items, including electronic goods, vehicles and spare parts, small household appliances, and foodstuffs.

The corridor not only promotes the opening up and development of West China, but also opens up new opportunities for countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, the center said.

As of July 26, 2024, since the beginning of the current year on the route of multimodal international freight traffic “China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan” was recorded 100 departures of freight trains, which is 103.94 percent more than a year earlier. This was reported by Urumqi branch of the Corporation “Chinese Railways” /CRC/.

Multimodal transport corridor “China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan” is a logistics highway that passes through China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and operates in the format of mixed freight transportation by road and rail. Containers are first delivered by rail to Kashgar North Station /Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China/, then exported from China by road through Irkeshtam border crossing point, and finally delivered to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, and further to other countries.

With the further implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, trade cooperation between China and West and Central Asian countries has become increasingly close in recent years. Especially since the beginning of 2024, there has been a rapid increase in the volume of goods transported by rail to Kashgar for transit from the country. By now, the figure has exceeded 100,000 tons, up 53,300 tons from a year earlier.

After the opening of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal transport corridor in 2020, freight trains started to run along this route in turn from such areas of China as the Guangdong-Syangan-Aomen Greater Bay Area, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces. The categories of goods transported have expanded from more than 30 kinds of goods in the beginning, such as clothing and metal tools, to more than 300 kinds now, including new energy vehicles and spare parts.
