Japan plans to control the export of semiconductors for military use, Kyodo says citing government sources.

The government will consult with Japanese companies and other parties that may be affected by the situation in developing restrictions.

Media noted that the plans became known after Japan had agreed to cooperate with the U.S., which in October 2022 tightened the requirements for the supply of products to China, needed to create semiconductors. However, Tokyo, when announcing its new restrictions, will not directly point to China in order to avoid its retaliatory measures.

Earlier Bloomberg reported citing sources that Japan and the Netherlands intend to join the U.S. restrictions on China's access to modern equipment for the production of semiconductors needed to create chips. At the same time, Japan and the Netherlands, concerned about how this situation will affect their companies, intend to develop their own set of measures.

On October 7, the United States Department of Commerce banned sales to China of the most advanced chips, as well as equipment, components and software for their production, with special attention paid to technologies related to artificial intelligence and c potential military applications.
