China Imposes Trade Curbs On Japan.

China has intensified trade tensions with Japan by launching an anti-dumping investigation into a chemical gas essential for semiconductors, shortly after banning the export of "dual-use" goods with potential military applications to the country. These measures stem from growing diplomatic friction over Taiwan, sparked by Japanese officials' comments regarding the island’s independence and potential military intervention. While Japan has condemned the restrictions as unacceptable, China is simultaneously pivoting its regional strategy by strengthening economic and technological ties with South Korea, creating a sharp contrast in its East Asian foreign relations.
