Chinese companies will not be allowed to export dual-use items,
which can be used for both civilian and military purposes, to
the 14 European organizations, China’s Commerce Ministry said in
a statement.
Additionally, foreign companies are barred from providing to the
14 entities dual-use items made in China.
The European companies affected include Czech vehicle
manufacturer Tatra Trucks, Italian electric motor maker Lafert
SpA, German manufacturer Sindlhauser Materials GmbH and French
drone manufacturer Cavok UAS.
A Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson said the measures were
taken in retaliation for the E.U. on Thursday adding 14 mainland
Chinese and Hong Kong enterprises to its latest list of
sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine.
The measures are intended “to safeguard national security and
interests, and to fulfill international obligations such as
non-proliferation, in response to the E.U.’s egregious actions,”
the spokesperson said.
The E.U. on Thursday adopted its 21st package of sanctions
against Russia targeting banks, cryptocurrency companies and
military equipment manufacturers among other categories. The
sanctions included entities from other countries such as China,
India and Turkey, believed to provide Russia with dual-use goods
and technology.
