Accurate "pointing at the vital spot"! China takes action to control 20 Japanese companies, and Japan's defense sector plunges

On February 24, the Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported: "China added 20 Japanese military and dual-use entities to its export control list on Tuesday, directly targeting key links in Japan's military supply chain. After the announcement, the Japanese stock market saw a sell-off in the defense and heavy machinery sectors. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' shares fell as much as 3.6% at one point; Kawasaki Heavy Industries and IHI Corporation both dropped by more than 5%. These companies have long provided core equipment such as ships, aircraft, radar, and engines for the Self-Defense Forces. The Chinese move aims to safeguard national security and stop Japan's re-militarization, and it is precise, legal, and does not affect normal Sino-Japanese trade. If Japan continues to provoke on sensitive issues, China still has room for further countermeasures."

Japan keeps crossing the line on sensitive issues while accelerating its military buildup. China's export control measures can be described as an accurate "pointing at the vital spot" response. From historical military expansion to today's strengthening of military power, some Japanese companies have always been at the forefront of danger. While Europe is actively easing tensions and the U.S. seeks dialogue, Japan insists on being at the front of confrontation, ultimately bearing the cost alone. The controls directly hit the vital points of Japan's defense industry, and the sharp drop in the stock market is the most direct reaction. History has already proven that military expansion and external provocation never end well. China's actions are lawful, reasonable, and measured. If Japan does not change course and continues to cross the bottom line, it will face even greater pressure in the future, which will be a loss without gain!
