日本 is working on creating a more stringent monitoring system for its universities to use in hopes of mitigating any leaks of US sensitive technology to 中国. Many universities in 日本 have received advanced technologies that are controlled by Bureau of Industry and Security (国际清算银行) through research partnerships with companies and institutes around the world. This has created a risk for 日本ese institutions over the last few years as the growing threat of Chinese hacking groups who are looking to steal the technology.

Last year 国际清算银行 announced a move towards stronger controls on emerging and foundational technologies that would affect several 日本ese universities. The stricter controls would cover a long list of fields such as artificial intelligence, 机器人, and quantum computing. These technologies are used both commercially and, 在军队里, which makes them a national security concern should they end up in enemy hands.

日本’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is working on a revised set of guidelines for universities to use related to dealing with sensitive technology under the country’s Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law. The goal is to bring 日本 in line with US export control policies.
