Overview

  • China’s Commerce Ministry barred exports of Chinese-origin dual-use goods to 20 named Japanese entities and put another 20 under case-by-case licensing with risk assessments and written end-use pledges.
  • Foreign organizations are also prohibited from re-exporting Chinese dual-use items to the blacklisted entities, and all ongoing related transactions must cease immediately.
  • The measures, published on the ministry’s website, cover critical inputs including rare earths, critical minerals, sensors, batteries and magnets used in defense and aerospace supply chains.
  • Named entities include subsidiaries of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and IHI, as well as Japan’s space agency JAXA and the National Defense Academy, with companies such as Subaru and TDK on the heightened-control list.
  • Japan lodged a formal diplomatic protest as shares of affected companies fell in Tokyo, including Mitsubishi Heavy (-3.1%), IHI (-5.7%) and Kawasaki (-4.0%).
