Both sides should enhance communication through existing export control and supply chain mechanisms to ensure the smooth operation of supply chains between China and South Korea, said Wang. He was among officials accompanying Chinese President Xi Jinping on a trip to South Korea to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.
