China has added 20 Japanese entities to its export control blacklist, restricting their access to dual-use goods. Beijing cited national security and Japan's "remilitarization" as reasons for the move.
On Monday, June 29, China announced it had placed 20 Japanese entities on its export control blacklist. This measure prevents these organizations from acquiring Chinese goods that have both civilian and military applications. Beijing stated the decision was taken to "preserve national security and interests" and to uphold international non-proliferation obligations. The Chinese government cited what it described as Japan's "remilitarization" as a contributing factor to the imposition of these restrictions. Sources: Le Monde
