Beijing, January 8 (Xinhua) — China's tightening controls on dual-use exports to Japan is aimed at curbing Japan's "remilitarization" and its attempts to acquire nuclear weapons, which is entirely justified, reasonable, and legal, Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong said on Thursday.
He Yadong noted that China is committed to maintaining the stability and security of global supply chains, and its export control measures will not affect goods intended for civilian use. Parties engaged in regular civilian trade should have no concerns, the official added.
On January 6, China announced a ban on the export of any dual-use items that could be used by Japanese military users, by Japan for military purposes, or by any other end-users involved in or for purposes that contribute to Japan's military buildup.
According to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous statements about Taiwan constituted an infringement on China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, open interference in China's internal affairs, and a military threat against China.
He Yadong recalled that since taking office, Sanae Takaichi has been pushing for the revision of three Japanese national security documents, and that people close to her have made statements about possessing nuclear weapons.
Such actions, He Yadong emphasized, represent an attempt to challenge the international community's red lines and expose the long-standing misguided position of Sanae Takaichi and Japanese right-wing forces and their persistent ambition to promote "remilitarization." As the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson pointed out, these steps, which undermine the post-war international order, will inevitably harm peace and stability in the region and pose a threat to global peace and security.
He added that China, as a responsible major power, has always actively complied with its international obligations on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and China's export control measures are in accordance with laws and regulations.
