China will enhance its capabilities to prevent and control invasive alien species to safeguard agriculture development and biodiversity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, China has included 59 invasive alien species in a list entailing elevated management. The country would strengthen quarantine inspection of inbound goods, means of transport, consignments and deliveries, and cross-border e-commerce to stem the introduction of invasive alien species. China faces multiple risks of invasive alien species due to its long land border, foreign exchanges, illegal introduction and breeding of exotic pets, and illegal release of animals. Efforts will also be made to optimize the monitoring network and develop targeted prevention and control measures for specific invasive alien species.
