Japan Accuses Yamaha Motor of Export Control Violations

Japanese police today conducted a raid on Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.'s headquarters and other company locations seeking evidence concerning Yamaha's exports of RMAX unmanned remote-controlled helicopters, which could be converted to military use, to Beijing BVE Technology, a Chinese company believed to be connected to China's People's Liberation Army. While Yamaha acknowledged exporting nine of the RMAX helicopters to China since 2001, a senior company official claimed the company followed proper export procedures. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the government agency that administers Japan's export control laws, also filed a criminal complaint against Yamaha Motor.
