China blacklists 20 Japanese entities after imposing export curbs on 10 US firms

 China has expanded its technology and national security restrictions by adding 20 Japanese entities, including a defense studies institute, to its export control list. This move, barring dual-use item exports, follows similar actions against 10 US firms last week. Beijing states the decision aims to protect national security and uphold non-proliferation commitments amidst rising geopolitical tensions. China has expanded its technology and national security restrictions by adding 20 Japanese entities, including a defense studies institute, to its export control list.
