The Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday added 20 Japanese companies and institutions to a new export-control “list of concerns,” tightening restrictions on shipments to those entities of dual-use goods and technologies and explicitly blocking any exports deemed to “contribute to the enhancement of Japan’s military strength.”
Those named include Subaru Corporation, ENEOS Corporation, Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, TDK Corporation, Hino Motors, and Nitto Denko Corporation, alongside aerospace firms such as Fuji Aerospace Technology and Mitsui Bussan Aerospace.
