China restricts dual-use exports to 14 European firms
China announced a ban on the export of dual-use materials and technologies to 14 entities within the European Union, in response to new European sanctions targeting Chinese companies for supporting the Russian military sector. The ban took effect immediately and threatens the access of the affected European companies to sensitive Chinese components and materials in defense and technology sectors. The restriction includes European companies such as Germany's Rheinmetall, Italy's LAFERT, and the Netherlands' IHC, and also applies to institutions and individuals outside of China that supply these European entities with such products. Exception permits may be issued in special cases. This measure comes a day after the European Union imposed stricter export restrictions on certain goods to additional entities, with Beijing claiming that the move is a response to EU actions against Chinese companies.
