Commenting on a media query about the export control list, as the China-US Joint Statement in Stockholm stated that China will take or maintain necessary measures to suspend or remove non-tariff countermeasures against the US, a Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) spokesperson said on Tuesday that MOFCOM had issued Announcements No. 21 and No. 22 on April 4 and April 9, 2025, adding 28 US entities to the export control list and prohibiting the export of dual-use items to them in accordance with relevant export control laws and regulations.

To implement the consensus reached at the China-US high-level economic and trade talks, effective August 12, 2025, measures targeting 16 US entities listed on April 4 will remain suspended for 90 days, while measures against 12 US entities listed on April 9 will be terminated.

The spokesperson added that exporters wishing to supply dual-use items to these entities must apply to MOFCOM under the relevant export control regulations. Applications will be reviewed according to law, and permits will be granted to those meeting the requirements.
