Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 9 (Reporters Zhang Xiaojie and Xie Xiyao) The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce on the 9th that the Office of the National Export Control Coordination Mechanism organized the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of State Security, the General Administration of Customs, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the State Post Bureau and other departments to hold meetings in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province to deploy a special campaign to combat strategic mineral smuggling and export.

The reporter learned that all departments will focus on the strategic mineral field, strengthen source control, and form a joint crackdown on typical avoidance methods such as false reports and concealment, smuggling in smuggling, and "third countries" re-export, and focus on cracking down on strategic mineral smuggling and export. At the same time, we will improve the connection between execution and criminal offenses, speed up the handling and publication of a number of illegal export cases in accordance with the law, dig deep into the illegal entities and smuggling networks behind the scenes, resolutely crack down on them, and create a strong deterrent to criminals.
