China has banned the export of goods with both civilian and military applications to end users linked to Japan’s military, escalating a diplomatic dispute between Beijing and Tokyo.
The move follows comments made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Nov.7, when she said a conflict over Taiwan could prompt a response from Japan’s Self-Defense Forces — remarks that drew strong criticism from China.
Chinese authorities said the export restrictions target dual-use items that could have military applications, and are intended to safeguard national security, though no specific list of products or entities was immediately disclosed.
