MOFCOM’s Announcement No. 1 [2026] introduces immediate export prohibitions on China-origin dual-use items destined for Japan when end-use or end-user is assessed to enhance Japan’s military capabilities. The shift to a broader intent-based standard and extraterritorial liability increases compliance and supply chain risks for advanced materials, electronics, and aerospace/maritime inputs.
China’s MOFCOM announced immediate export controls on dual-use items destined for Japan, prohibiting exports assessed as enhancing Japan’s military capabilities. The measures broaden enforcement via end-use/end-user criteria and introduce heightened extraterritorial exposure for third-country intermediaries and subsidiaries.
MOFCOM’s Announcement No. 1 [2026] imposes immediate export prohibitions on dual-use items destined for Japan when end-use or end-user is assessed as enhancing military capability. The shift toward a broad end-use/end-user standard and asserted third-party liability increases compliance and supply chain risks for Japan-linked industries.
A State Council guideline calls for deeper military-civil integration by sharing innovation infrastructure, commercializing defense technologies, and encouraging private capital into defense-adjacent industries. The strategy targets space, cyberspace, and maritime sciences to drive supply-side reform, but faces governance and geopolitical risks tied to dual-use technology controls.
MOFCOM Announcements No. 70 and No. 72 (2025) suspend several October rare-earth and critical-mineral export-control measures and pause U.S.-focused dual-use licensing tightening until Nov. 27, 2026, according to the source. Core restrictions and the broader export-control architecture remain in force, leaving supply-chain exposure intact and making the pause a limited window for compliance and contingency planning.
MOFCOM has suspended several October 2025 export-control directives and paused U.S.-focused dual-use licensing enhancements until Nov. 27, 2026, according to the source. Core restrictions and expanded control lists remain in force, leaving supply-chain risk elevated despite short-term regulatory relief.
A June 2024 MERICS report argues that Russia’s war in Ukraine has tightened China–Russia alignment and transformed it into a complex security threat for Europe and transatlantic partners. The document highlights China’s economic and dual-use trade support for Russia and calls for clearer red lines and costs to change Beijing’s calculus while maintaining limited engagement on ending the war.
According to the source, the Russia-Ukraine war has become a high-attrition drone conflict sustained by China-dominant commercial UAV platforms and components. This dual-use supply-chain centrality gives Beijing indirect leverage over both belligerents while accelerating Chinese learning for future unmanned, data-driven warfare.
