Trade curbs on South Korea do not threaten global high-tech supply chains, Japan says as bilateral row deepens

Rescue workers place a man, who had set himself on fire in an apparent protest, onto a stretcher after taking him out of his burnt car in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea on July 19, 2019, in this still image taken from video.

Export curbs imposed by Japan this month have had absolutely no impact on global supply chains, Iwamatsu said.A row over compensation for Korean forced labourers has spilled over into trade between the two US allies in high-tech materials used to make memory chips and screens. Japan says the issue of compensation was settled under a 1965 treaty which established diplomatic relations between the two nations post World War Two.

"Hold on," Kono said. "We've already told the South Korean side the South Korean proposal was totally unacceptable, and that that is not something that would redress the situation where international law is violated. It is extremely impertinent to propose it again by pretending to not know that." The 78-year-old man, surnamed Kim, drove up to the building around1820 GMT Thursday , stopped in front of the gate and set fire to the car while sitting in it, an official at Seoul's Jongno Fire Station said.

Anger over the South Korea-Japan dispute has prompted a widespread boycott of Japanese products and services in South Korea, from beer to clothes and travel, disrupting businesses already facing the worst economic climate in a decade.
