Why it matters

China has expanded its export restrictions against 40 Japanese companies, banning shipments of critical 'dual use' goods in the latest escalation of the row with Tokyo. This move is likely to impact Japanese businesses and may have broader implications for global trade. The restrictions are a response to Japan's recent decision to release treated Fukushima water into the ocean.
