China and the European Union concluded a high-level dialogue on export controls in Brussels this week, marking a significant step toward aligning regulatory frameworks and stabilizing industrial supply chains. The three-day talks, held from October 31 to November 1, were described as "upgraded" by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, reflecting deepening cooperation between the two economic powerhouses.
Jiang Qianliang, Director General of China's Bureau of Industry, Security, Import and Export Control, and Denis Redonnet, Deputy Director-General for Trade at the European Commission, led discussions addressing mutual concerns about export restrictions. Both sides emphasized the need for transparent communication to balance economic security with global trade efficiency.
The dialogue comes amid growing international focus on supply chain resilience. Analysts suggest these consultations could pave the way for smoother cross-border technology transfers and reduced trade friction. The Chinese ministry noted that maintaining open channels between Beijing and Brussels remains critical as both economies navigate complex geopolitical landscapes.
