China has added a Polish university to its European dual-use exports blacklist, citing concerns over the potential diversion of sensitive technologies. This action is part of a broader retaliatory measure against the European Union, which had previously sanctioned 14 Chinese firms for their alleged support of Russia's war in Ukraine.
