China legt im Streit mit Japan nach. Die Regierung in Peking verbot am Dienstag den Export von potenziell militärisch nutzbaren Gütern an 20 japanische Unternehmen.

Die Maßnahmen zielten darauf ab, die "Remilitarisierung" und die nuklearen Ambitionen Japans einzudämmen. Das Verbot umfasst sogenannte Güter mit doppeltem Verwendungszweck ("Dual-Use"), darunter auch Seltene Erden wie Dysprosium, Yttrium oder Samarium. Diese spielen eine wichtige Rolle in Autos, Flugzeugen, Waffen und Unterhaltungselektronik.. --- China verschärft mit dem Schritt den Druck auf die Regierung in Tokio.
