At a press conference, Chairman Shigeki Ishizuka, an industry group of electrical equipment manufacturers, expressed strong concern about the tightening of export restrictions against the backdrop of the conflict between the United States and China, which is affecting Japanese companies. He expressed his hope for the Japanese government's efforts to clarify.

In the United States and China, while the United States listed Huawei, a major telecommunications equipment company in China, and regulated exports, China also enforced a law to tighten export restrictions on security-related products.



Shigeki Ishizuka, chairman of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, which is made by electronics manufacturers, said at a press conference online on the 16th that "it was a year when geopolitical risks that could not be predicted in advance increased. The stricter rules on export control on the side have had an impact, such as the cost of applying for additional permits, "he said, expressing concern that the exports of Japanese companies would be affected.



On top of that, "A new export control law has been enacted in China, and it is expected that practical difficulties will occur in the future. I would like the Japanese government to work on clarifying forward-looking operations. International discussions and I look forward to active activities on the new framework, "he said, and expressed his hope for the Japanese government's efforts to clarify the operation of regulations in both countries.
