Japan’s government will start imposing an export ban on cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China in spring after Tokyo amends a foreign exchange law to allow doing so. Reuters cited from Japanese Kyodo News, reporting that the new law will not mention China specifically to avoid the risk of retaliation from the Chinese regime.
