China's export ban on dual-use items to Japan is a justified response to Tokyo's dangerous interference in Taiwan affairs and violation of the one-China principle. Japan cannot expect to profit from Chinese markets while undermining core national interests and hinting at military intervention. These controls align with international norms and send a clear message that cooperation requires respecting sovereignty.
China's export controls targeting only Japan deviate significantly from international practice and are absolutely unacceptable. Singling out one nation for punitive trade measures undermines established norms of fair commerce. These restrictions demand immediate withdrawal and strong diplomatic protest.
