[The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters’ questions on the measures to adjust the export control list] On November 9, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters’ questions on the measures to adjust the export control list. Q: It is reported that based on the consensus reached in the eighth round of economic and trade consultations between China and the United States, China will adjust a batch of non-tariff measures against the United States. What are your considerations regarding the export control list? Answer: In accordance with relevant laws and regulations on export control, the Ministry of Commerce issued Announcement No. 21 of 2025 on April 4, 2025, which included 16 US entities in the export control list and prohibited the export of dual-use items to them. In order to implement the consensus arrangements of the eighth round of economic and trade consultations between China and the United States, China has decided to continue to suspend the implementation of relevant measures in Announcement No. 21 of 2025 for two months starting from November 10, 2026. If export operators need to export dual-use items to the above-mentioned entities, they should apply to the Ministry of Commerce in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Export Control of Dual-use Items". The Ministry of Commerce will conduct an examination in accordance with laws and regulations, and will grant permission if the regulations are met.
