"Companies affected by China's export ban on dual-use items, or items that can be used for civilian or military purposes, include Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' shipbuilding group, aerospace and marine machinery subsidiaries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Japan's National Defense Academy, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency."
"Beijing said restricting the export of dual-use items to the Japanese firms was necessary to safeguard national security and interests and fulfil international obligations such as non-proliferation, adding that the companies were involved in enhancing Japan's military strength."
"Chinese exporters must submit a risk assessment report for each company to ensure dual-use items will not be used for any purpose that would enhance Japan's military strength, according to a statement on the Commerce Ministry's website."
China's Commerce Ministry imposed export restrictions on dual-use items—goods usable for civilian or military purposes—targeting 20 Japanese business entities. Affected companies include Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' shipbuilding and aerospace divisions, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Japan's National Defense Academy, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. China justified the restrictions as necessary to prevent Japan's remilitarization and fulfill non-proliferation obligations. An additional 20 entities, including Subaru, ENEOS Corporation, and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, were added to an export restrictions watchlist. Japanese officials strongly protested, calling the move deplorable and unacceptable. Chinese exporters must now submit risk assessment reports for each restricted company to ensure dual-use items won't enhance Japan's military capabilities. China has similarly restricted exports to the US and Taiwan.
