China’s commerce ministry adds 20 Japanese entities to its export control blacklist, accusing them of participating in activities that “enhance Japan’s military capabilities.” The move targets organisations linked to exports of items that can be used for both civilian and military purposes, according to statements cited by multiple outlets. Hong Kong Free Press and CNA report that the new listings include major entities such as the National Institute for Defense Studies and Mitsubishi Electric Defense and Space Technologies Corporation. The ministry frames the action as a national security and non-proliferation measure, saying the affected entities have been involved in strengthening Japan’s military capabilities. Times of India adds context by noting that the step follows China’s recent action against 10 US firms through similar export curbs, as Beijing expands technology and national security restrictions. The measures are part of a months-long dispute between Beijing and Tokyo that escalates bilateral tensions, with China and Japan trading actions related to export controls and security concerns.
