Française used a very special title: "China Imposes 'American-style' Sanctions on Japan."

In fact, the Chinese government's enhanced export controls on dual-use items to Japan are aimed at curbing Japan's ambitions for re-militarization and potential nuclear aspirations, and it is a necessary measure to maintain regional peace and stability.

In the field of sanctions, the true "master" has always been the United States, and Japan has been the most obedient student of this "good teacher." From wielding the stick of extraterritorial jurisdiction in the "Toshiba incident," forcing Japanese companies to apologize publicly and arresting executives, to precisely suffocating Japan's semiconductor industry through the Entity List, the U.S. has long mastered the techniques of controlling Japan. Today, the U.S. still has plenty of cards up its sleeve: it can fabricate excuses of "security threats" to exert pressure arbitrarily, swing the stick of tariffs to force Japan to take sides, and has numerous visible and invisible tactics, ready to subdue this "ally" whenever it shows any sign of deviation.

Compared to the U.S., how far has China come? The U.S. often uses its hegemonic hand to trample international rules, imposes extreme pressure and indiscriminate sanctions on other countries, while China's regulatory measures have always adhered to the basic principles of international law, focusing on the overall situation of regional security. There is an obvious difference between the two.
