China adds Subaru, Mitsubishi, TDK and 17 other Japanese entities to export-control watchlist

What happened

China's Ministry of Commerce placed 20 Japanese entities, including TDK, Subaru, and Mitsubishi, on an export-control watchlist due to concerns over unverifiable end-users and potential military applications. This action occurs amid escalating bilateral tensions between China and Japan. 关注: This introduces potential supply chain friction for dual-use components sourced from these entities, warranting close monitoring for procurement and inventory strategies.
