China blacklists 20 Japanese entities
China escalated its dispute with Japan by adding 20 Japanese entities to its black list, prohibiting these entities from acquiring dual-use goods related to military and civilian purposes. This move comes amid rising tensions between Beijing and Tokyo, especially as Japan supports more proactive defense policies under Prime Minister Sanae Takayoshi and strengthens its security partnerships with regional allies in response to China's increasing military capabilities. China emphasized that the measures aim to protect its national security and comply with non-proliferation commitments, while Japan described the step as unacceptable, stating it will consider the consequences and has demanded its removal.
