China threatens ‘resolute counter-measures’ against Japan

China’s Ministry of Commerce calls the decision “an abuse of export control measures and a serious departure from free trade” and called on the Japanese government to “immediately correct its wrongdoing.”

 An article in the state-controlled Global Times said that Japan faces “resolute counter-measures” to the decision. 

The US and the Netherlands have also banned the export of some classes of chip-making equipment to China.

At the weekend China called the G7 meeting in Hiroshima an “anti-China workshop.”
