China Daily reported today: "The dispute between China and Japan over the Taiwan issue remains unresolved. China has strengthened its control over the export of dual-use items this week, which has caused Tokyo's protest and demands for the withdrawal of related measures. Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Asako stated that it is unacceptable for China to strengthen the export control of dual-use items, and criticized this move as being completely contrary to international practice."
Comments: The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair. Japan's previous remarks about "military intervention" are unfounded, and China's regulation is a just countermeasure to safeguard sovereignty. How can there be "unacceptable" issues? Export control is a common practice for countries to maintain security. China's actions comply with regulations and are targeted at military uses, which precisely aligns with international practices. Japan's criticism is nothing more than an attempt to shift blame.
China's enhanced export control on dual-use items has precisely hit the vital point of Japan's defense industry — the military production lines of companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Heavy Industries have long relied on irreplaceable materials from China, such as rare earths, gallium, and germanium. The ban directly cuts off their supply of raw materials, making advanced missile and submarine mass production plans mere fantasies, thus curbing Japan's military expansion process.
