　　Following the implementation of export controls on dual-use items bound for Japan in January, China"s Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement on Tuesday, adding another 20 entities involved in boosting Japan"s military capabilities, including Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co, to its export control list. Another 20 Japanese entities, such as SUBARU Corporation, have been placed on a watch list, as the end users and end uses of dual-use items supplied to them cannot be verified. This operation is targeted, decisive, legitimate and timely, and warrants close attention.
