The document states that Japan and the Philippines recently announced the commencement of negotiations on the delimitation of their exclusive economic zones and continental shelves in the waters east of Taiwan. China, Japan, and the Philippines are maritime neighbors in this region, and the proposed delimitation area largely overlaps with Chinas exclusive economic zone and continental shelf under international law. This move, without consultation with China, disregards the specific geographical conditions of the region, violates the principles of sovereign equality and good faith under international law, as well as the obligations of cooperation and restraint, constituting an internationally wrongful act.

The Commerce Department said Friday's move intends to "degrade Russian and Belarusian military, aerospace, marine, and other vital sectors in reaction to Russia's savage attack on Ukraine's sovereignty."


The White House contended that the limits would help prevent equipment and software from reaching Russia's and Belarus' military sectors.


"These parties are effectively isolated from the inputs required to maintain Putin's war," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement.


The regulations are based on a major extension of the so-called Foreign Direct Product Rule, which requires enterprises manufacturing high- and low-tech things abroad using American equipment to get a license from the US prior to exporting to Russia.


Additionally, the measures direct the Commerce Department to refuse virtually all of those licensing applications.


The Commerce Department added 260 organizations to the entity list as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which Russia describes as a "special operation."
