SEOUL/TOKYO - Japan and South Korea failed to mend a dispute that could threaten global supplies of microchips and smartphone displays after officials met in Tokyo on Friday for a more than five-hour briefing that drew media attention for its frosty start.
The briefing in Tokyo got off to an uncomfortable start when two South Korean bureaucrats were ushered into a narrow room in the Japanese trade ministry, where their Japanese counterparts were already seated. Japan has said the curbs on exports of the materials — which include hydrogen fluoride and etching gas used to make chips — were not retaliation in the feud over compensation for South Koreans forced to work for Japanese firms.
Working level officials from Japan and South Korea hold a meeting about Japan's recent restrictions on exports of high-tech material to South Korea in Tokyo, Japan, July 12, 2019. Japan Pool/Pool via REUTERS Japanese officials have declined to comment directly on the media reports that South Korea had shipped some quantity of one of the materials to North Korea. The official who briefed reporters on the meeting said the decision on export curbs was not related to what has been reported.
Japan is also threatening to drop South Korea from a “white list” of countries with minimum trade restrictions.
