China’s Commerce Ministry on Tuesday released two lists of Japanese companies, institutions and agencies for which exports will require special government permission.
A blacklist of 20 entities “participating in enhancing Japan’s military capabilities” was issued. It includes Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and several Mitsubishi Heavy Industries subsidiaries; several IHI Corporation companies; the National Defense Academy and JAXA — Japan’s space agency.
Exporters are prohibited from exporting dual-use items to these companies and organizations, and groups or individuals overseas are also prohibited from transferring or providing them with such items originating from China. Any ongoing efforts must be ceased immediately, the Commerce Ministry said.
