China Restricts Export of Dual-Use Items to Japan
2026-02-24 10:05

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced restrictions on the export of dual-use items to listed Japanese entities and prohibited such exports to unlisted Japanese entities if they are related to military users, purposes, or enhancing Japan's military capabilities. These measures aim to prevent Japan's 're-militarization' and nuclear ambitions, which are deemed legitimate, reasonable, and legal. The restrictions target only a few Japanese entities and do not affect normal trade between China and Japan; law-abiding Japanese entities have no reason to be concerned.
