Date of Publication: July 10, 2025
On July 9, 2025, the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (MOFCOM) added eight Taiwanese companies to the Export Control list.
The listed companies include key suppliers to Taiwan’s
defense
and shipbuilding
industries including:- Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation,
- National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology,
- Geosat Aerospace & Technology Inc.,
- JC Technology Inc.,
- CSBC Corporation Taiwan,
- Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.,
- Lungteh Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.,
- Gong Wei Co., Ltd.
The export of dual-use items to these eight entities is prohibited, and any ongoing related export activities must be immediately halted, according to the announcement.
According to MOFCOM, the action was taken to safeguard national security and to fulfil international non-proliferation obligations.
Conclusion
This latest development underscores the intensifying use of export controls by China as a strategic tool to assert political and territorial claims, particularly against Taiwan’s growing defense capabilities.
The inclusion of prominent defense and shipbuilding entities signals Beijing’s intention to limit Taiwan’s access to dual-use technologies that could bolster its military preparedness.
As China continues to expand and enforce its export control framework, companies operating in sensitive sectors or across the Taiwan strait must closely monitor evolving regulatory developments to avoid legal, financial, or reputational exposure.
