China has taken a strong action against Japan once again.
The Ministry of Commerce of China announced today (February 24) that it will place 20 Japanese entities on the "Control List" for dual-use items exports, and another 20 on the "Watch List" for export controls. It emphasized that the measures are proper, reasonable, and legal, aiming to stop Japan's "re-militarization" and nuclear ambitions.
This strong action by China against Japan is a precise countermeasure against Japan's ambition for re-militarization, demonstrating a firm determination to maintain regional peace and stability. This action directly responds to the protest by Japanese high-level officials such as Hayami Sanae against China's "ban" on January 6th.
The primary consideration for China's move is to curb Japan's dangerous momentum of "re-militarization." Recently, Japan has continuously broken the post-war "exclusive defense" position, greatly increased defense spending, developed offensive weapons, and lifted restrictions on weapon exports. The Hayami Sanae government has also seriously provoked issues related to Taiwan, attempting to break through the constraints of the Peace Constitution. Its military expansion and the ambition of reviving militarism have severely threatened the security pattern in the Asia-Pacific region.
The control measures taken by China are not only a necessary warning to Japan's right-wing forces but also a firm commitment to the international community to jointly maintain peace. If Japan continues to run recklessly on the path of military adventurism, it will eventually become a "troublemaker" for regional stability.
