China MOFCOM adds 20 Japanese companies including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to its export control list for military activities which bans exports of dual-use items, while it will add another 20 groups to a watch list.

China's addition of 20 Japanese companies, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, to its export control list underscores escalating tensions in trade relations and military scrutiny. This move suggests increased barriers for dual-use exports, which could impact supply chains in the metals and materials sectors. Monitoring further additions to the watch list will be crucial for assessing broader implications for regional trade dynamics and commodity markets.
