China imposes export controls on 14 EU entities in response to Russia-related sanctions
China has added 14 European companies to an export control list in retaliation for the European Union sanctioning 14 Chinese and Hong Kong enterprises as part of its 21st sanctions package against Russia. The restrictions prohibit Chinese and foreign firms from exporting dual-use items—goods with both civilian and military applications—made in China to the listed entities, including Czech vehicle maker Tatra Trucks, Italian motor manufacturer Lafert SpA, German firm Sindlhauser Materials GmbH, and French drone company Cavok UAS. The Chinese Commerce Ministry stated the move responds to what it calls the EU’s 'egregious actions' and aims to protect national security and fulfill non-proliferation obligations.
