China's expansion of rare earth export controls has drawn attention and reactions from many countries.

Xinhua News Agency of Singapore wrote today (October 18): "After China announced the expansion of rare earth export controls, it triggered dissatisfaction and anxiety from the United States and other countries. During a visit to Washington, Chinese officials tried to ease concerns about China's sudden escalation of rare earth export restrictions, in an effort to downplay the backlash from the international community during the ongoing Sino-US trade negotiations."

[Witty] Comment: "dissatisfaction and anxiety from multiple countries" means that the US' little dogs are echoing the US' statements. Supplying rare earths to other countries is not China's international obligation. China has the right to regulate based on its own strategy and interests. Western countries can refuse to sell chips to China under the pretext of "national security", so why can't China exercise reasonable control over rare earth exports? China's move is a legitimate defense of its own rights. If the US and Western countries continue to be hypocritical, they should not be surprised by China's reasonable regulation of rare earth exports, otherwise it will only expose their hegemonic thinking and unreasonable behavior.
