The Ministry of Commerce on Monday added 20 Japanese entities, including the National Institute for Defense Studies, to its export control list to safeguard national security and interests and fulfil international obligations such as non-proliferation.
Export operators are prohibited from exporting dual-use items to these entities.
Overseas organisations and individuals are prohibited from transferring or providing dual-use items originating in China to these entities.
Any related activities currently underway shall be halted immediately, according to an announcement released by the ministry.
The ministry placed 20 Japanese entities, including Mitsui E&S Co., Ltd., on a watch list because their end users and end uses of dual-use items cannot be verified. (Xinhua)
