China cut off the export of rare earth materials to Japan over a dispute about the sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands.

China stopped importing Philippine bananas when the Philippines objected to China appropriating  the Scarborough Shoal.

China cut down tourists to Korea and organised economic moves against the Korean conglomerate Lotte in retaliation for Korea taking the US THAAD anti-missile system.
