Japan has responded! After we included 20 Japanese entities in the restricted list, Japan was very angry! On February 24, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement claiming that China's Ministry of Commerce announced an export ban on dual-use items for some Japanese companies, and Japan has already lodged a protest with the Chinese ambassador's office in Japan. Previously, regarding the measures announced by China's Ministry of Commerce on January 6, Japan had clearly stated: this measure targets only Japan, which is seriously inconsistent with international practices, and it is absolutely unacceptable. They have already raised a strong protest and requested China to revoke the relevant measures.
Obviously, Japan is very dissatisfied with our control measures, believing that they are not in line with international practices, and demanding that we withdraw them. Of course, will we withdraw? Obviously, that's a dream. A country that tries to interfere in our internal affairs by force and constantly breaks the peace constitution, asking us to revoke the reasonable and legal control measures, this is absolutely impossible.
Japan stated "this measure targets only Japan." Does Japan not know why it has become the only target of the control measures? At present, Japan faces only two options: the first is for Hayashibara Asako to admit her mistake and change direction. The second is for Japan to bear the consequences of its own actions. As to which path Japan wants to take, it is up to Japan to decide. Now that Japan has become the target of our measures, Japan feels wronged, pretends to be pitiful, and is angry. However, the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations is entirely self-inflicted by Japan, and it cannot blame anyone else.
