China extends suspension of export controls on 16 US entities for two months

China's Ministry of Commerce said Monday that the country has decided to continue to suspend its export control measures on 16 US entities for two months, starting Tuesday.

The decision is part of efforts to implement the consensus of the eighth round of China-US economic and trade consultations, a spokesperson for the ministry said in response to a media query.

China placed the 16 US entities on the export control list in April 2025 and prohibited the export of dual-use items to them.

Export operators that need to export dual-use items to these entities should apply to the ministry, the spokesperson said, adding that the ministry will review the applications in accordance with related laws and regulations and grant licenses to those that meet the requirements.
