Gao Shiyu actually demanded that China withdraw the ban? Ministry of Commerce responds: Not acceptable

In recent days, Japanese Prime Minister Gao Shiyu stated in an interview that the Chinese export ban on dual-use items targets only Japan, "violates international practice," and requested China to immediately revoke the relevant measures.

For this, on the 15th, our country's Ministry of Commerce also responded, directly rejecting Gao Shiyu's request, and pointed out that the root of China's regulatory measures lies in the wrong actions of the Japanese side. The Japanese side does not face the real issues, but instead accuses China of economic coercion, which is a typical case of distorting facts and making unreasonable arguments.

In fact, Gao Shiyu's "revoke" request is pure fantasy. She tried to package her provocative behavior as a "victim" image, but avoided the actual issue of Japan's accelerated militarization in recent years.

From significantly increasing defense budgets, revising the "security three documents," breaking the principle of exclusive defense, to high-ranking officials publicly expressing pro-nuclear views and challenging the international non-proliferation system, Japan's actions have long exceeded the limits of the peace constitution, directly threatening regional stability and the post-war international order. China's current regulation is not an arbitrary target, but a precise and restrained response to Japan's continuous provocations, aimed at safeguarding national security and fulfilling non-proliferation obligations.

If Gao Shiyu continues to avoid the essence of the issue and shifts the blame, it will only further expose Japan's attempt to revive militarism. This kind of unreasonable attitude cannot change the facts, but instead will exacerbate its own difficulties. Japan highly depends on China's supply in fields such as rare earths and key materials. Once the supply chain is disrupted, its industry and economy will face severe challenges.

Gao Shiyu's request is destined to fail. Only by facing its own mistakes and stopping provocations can Japan possibly ease the tense situation. Otherwise, it will pay greater costs on the wrong path.
