Japan Economic and Industry Sunday Sunday (July 23) begins to implement the provincial order of foreign exchange and foreign trade laws, and add 23 categories in the cutting -edge semiconductor field as export control objects.
According to the Kyodo News Agency, the object of strengthening the control is that Japan has a high -tech semiconductor -related manufacturing device and components.The devices, etc. are included.
The report from the Kyodo News Agency said that although the province has not named a specific country or region, it can be seen that it is intended to prevent China's military utilization, and cutting -edge semiconductor -related products have higher export thresholds to China.
In the future, except for 42 friendly countries and regions such as the United States and South Korea, 23 categories will be obtained every time when they are exported to China.
The export of about 10 companies such as Tokyo Electronics is expected to be affected, but the Ministry of Education stated that the target is limited to cutting -edge semiconductor -related fields, so it is "limited."
In order to prevent the military utilization of cutting -edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputers in October last year, the United States announced that it has strengthened export control on large -scale export controls such as cutting -edge semiconductor technology and manufacturing devices.The United States requires Japan to take the same measures and reach an agreement with the two countries in January this year.
The report from the Kyodo News Agency said that Japan and the United States who tried to eliminate China to eliminate the semiconductor supply chain to maintain the same pace, strengthen control over the semiconductor field of national security, or further exacerbate global division.
