The Ministry of Foreign Affairs discusses export control measures against Japan: completely legitimate, reasonable, and lawful

Beijing, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Regarding the announcement released by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on the 29th, which decided to include 20 Japanese entities in the export control list and 20 Japanese entities in the attention list, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated during a regular press conference that the Chinese regulatory authorities have issued a notice and clarified China's position. What we want to emphasize is that China's move is completely legitimate, reasonable, and lawful, aimed at resolutely curbing Japan's "new type of militarism" reckless actions.

Guo Jiakun said that we hope the Japanese side can turn back from the wrong path, correct their wrong actions, truly reflect and return to the right track. The act of listing by China in accordance with the law only targets a few Japanese entities, and the relevant measures only apply to dual-use items, which does not affect normal economic and trade exchanges between China and Japan. Japanese entities that are honest and law-abiding need not worry at all.
