Japan issued a strong protest with China after Beijing added 20 Japanese defence-related entities to its export ban list for dual-use items, demanding the immediate withdrawal of the measures, a senior government official said, as reported by Kyodo News.
The Ministry of Commerce of China on Sunday announced that it will temporarily suspend part of its export control measures on certain dual-use items to the United States, including key materials such as gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials, Xinhua reported.
