South Korea and Japan 

spar over export controls 

at WTO

TOKYO/SEOUL -- South Korea 
 urged Japan to lift new restrictions on exports of semiconductor materials at the World Trade Organization on Tuesday, even as the Japanese side denied imposing a trade embargo.

Tokyo's move "will disrupt the global value chain" and harm South Korean companies, argued a Seoul envoy, whose Japanese counterpart replied that the measures are "based on security concerns."

Japan placed export curbs on

 South Korea-bound chipmaking materials last week after Seoul 
failed to intervene in 
Supreme Court rulings ordering Japanese
 companies to pay those forced 
to work for them 
during World War II.
