China's commerce ministry to adjust export control measures on some U.S. entities

Based on the consensus of the China-U.S. economic and trade talks in Kuala Lumpur, China will adjust some of its export control measures that target certain U.S. entities on November 10, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.

In accordance with relevant export control laws and regulations, the ministry issued Announcement No. 13 of 2025 on March 4 and Announcement No. 21 of 2025 on April 4, adding a total of 31 U.S. entities to China's export control list, thereby prohibiting the export of dual-use items to these entities, the ministry said in a statement.

To implement the consensus of the China-U.S. Kuala Lumpur economic and trade talks, China has decided that related measures against the 15 U.S. entities listed in Announcement No. 13 will be lifted on November 10, 2025, while related measures against the 16 U.S. entities listed in Announcement No. 21 will remain in suspension for a period of one year, the ministry said.

Exporters that wish to ship dual-use items to these entities must submit an application to the ministry in accordance with export control regulations on dual-use items, it noted, adding that the ministry will review applications in line with laws and regulations, and grant permits to those that meet requirements.
