Trump urges Xi Jinping to lift China's export restrictions on Japan

export restrictions rare earth metals US-China trade Japan military capacity dual-use products

During a meeting in Washington in September, US President Donald Trump reportedly urged Chinese President Xi Jinping to lift export restrictions currently imposed on Japan. According to reports citing sources familiar with the matter, Trump expressed concerns regarding China's restrictions on critical materials, including rare earth metals, which have impacted Japanese industry.

Trump characterized these measures as a threat to American companies that rely on Japanese suppliers. Furthermore, it was noted that these actions may indirectly violate the US-China trade truce established in Busan last October.

In response, Chinese leadership reportedly showed little interest in the proposal, maintaining that the dispute between Beijing and Tokyo should remain separate from US-China relations. China previously implemented export controls on dual-use products and critical minerals targeting Japanese organizations involved in Tokyo's military capacity building.
