It has been one day since the Japanese government tightened export control of semiconductor raw materials to South Korea. During this period, the Japanese government allowed exports that had no problems in terms of security, and stated that it would not have a significant impact on the supply chain, and it continues to emphasize its dialogue with South Korea. On the other hand, the Korean government has repeatedly appealed to international organizations and repeatedly asserted that the Japanese side should withdraw its measures, and it is expected that the conflict will be prolonged.

The Japanese government

On July 1, last year, the Japanese government announced a policy of tightening export control for South Korea, saying that there were improper cases in three items such as semiconductor raw materials that could be used for military purposes.

In response to this, the export of three items to South Korea was temporarily stopped, but the Japanese government has given permission for all items that have been confirmed to be safe from the viewpoint of security.

According to trade statistics, the export of one of the three products, hydrogen fluoride, has been around 20% of the previous year's level since December last year, but the Japanese government says it has not had a significant impact on the supply chain. I will.

Against this backdrop, South Korea filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization last month that Japan's measures violate international rules.

I am going to watch over the correspondence.

The Korean government

The South Korean government objected to retaliation for the issue of "commissioning" during the Pacific War, and filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO) last month.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea at a press conference on the 30th said that the Korean side has taken necessary measures to strengthen the trade control system, such as amending the law, and the Japanese side argued that the measures should be withdrawn. Was repeated.

Also, President Moon Jae-in said at the meeting in Cheong Wa Dae on the 29th that domestic production of materials and parts was promoted, and that there was no obstacle to the production of semiconductors in South Korea. Emphasized the achievements.

The Moon government will continue to promote the domestic production of materials and parts, and it is expected that the conflict will continue for a long time.

In the problem of "commissioning"

Regarding the issue of “commissioning,” the plaintiffs in the Korean court are proceeding with the procedure to sell the assets of the Japanese companies they have seized, and there is a growing view that if the money is cashed, it will have a serious impact on Japan-Korea relations. I will.

In such a situation, some Korean media criticized that "how long will they leave games that nobody benefits" after saying that they have no longer considered how Japan and South Korea should deal with their neighbors. ..
