"Japan has criticized new Chinese restrictions on exporting so-called dual-use goods to the country, imposed after comments from its prime minister on Chinese military drills near Taiwan upset Beijing. "A measure such as this, targeting only our country, differs significantly from international practice, is absolutely unacceptable and deeply regrettable," Japan's top government spokesman, Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara saidd. Dual use items are goods, software or technologies that can have both civilian and military applications,"
"China meanwhile followed up on Tuesday's restriction by announcing an investigation into imported dichlorosilane, a chemical gas used in making seminconductors. It said this followed an application from its domestic industry, which had complained that prices for the chemical imported from Japan had fallen by 31% between 2022 and 2024. "The dumping of imported products from Japan has damaged the production and operation of our domestic industry," China's Commerce Ministry alleged on Wednesday."
