China imposes export controls on 40 Japanese entities as tensions with Tokyo rise

China imposed new export controls on 40 Japanese entities, including divisions of Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui E&S, Fujitsu, and Komatsu, citing Japan's 'remilitarization.' The controls prohibit dual-use item sales to 20 entities and require licenses for another 20, as tensions escalate over Japan's military expansion and statements on Taiwan.
