Expanding their campaign against Japan because of the militarization taking place under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, China’s Ministry of Commerce announced an immediate ban on dual-use items destined for Japan. This includes, said the Ministry, “all dual-use items are prohibited from being exported to Japan for military end users, military purposes, or any other end users or uses that contribute in any way to enhancing Japan’s military capabilities.”
According to Global Times, “Any organization or individual in any country or region that violates the above provisions by transferring or providing relevant dual-use items of Chinese origin to organizations or individuals in Japan will be held legally liable in accordance with the law.”
