China Imposes Export Controls on 14 European Firms in Response to EU Sanctions
China has added 14 European companies to its export control list in response to the European Union's sanctions on Chinese firms linked to Russia's war in Ukraine. The restrictions prevent Chinese companies from exporting dual-use items to these European entities and bar foreign firms from supplying Chinese-made dual-use products to them. The affected European companies include manufacturers from the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, and France. China states the measures aim to protect national security and fulfill international non-proliferation obligations.
