China suspended a ban on exporting some dual-use materials to the U.S., the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on Sunday, following the easing of trade tensions between the two sides.<\/p>\n
The move covers exports of gallium, germanium and antimony<\/a>, which are used in the production of advanced semiconductors used in smartphones and computing. The materials are also used in military technologies such as electronic warfare and surveillance systems, and, in the case of antimony, also missile systems and ammunition.<\/p>\n Beijing suspended a measure introduced last year that restricted exports of those materials and imposed stricter checks on dual-use items that include graphite. The suspension will be in effect \u201cfrom now until Nov. 27, 2026,\u201d the ministry said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n China\u2019s President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump recently agree to lower tariffs<\/a> and ease other trade measures for one year, providing relief to global value chains after a trade war that threatened to escalate. <\/p>\n Beijing has relaxed checks on exports of rare earths<\/a> and lithium battery materials and agreed to resume shipping<\/a> key chips for Europe’s manufacturers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China suspended a ban on exporting some dual-use materials to the U.S., the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,148859,144,12,4549,4379,68162,3,34360,12796,35363,759,447,104,21,19,22,20,25,24,1139,6132],"class_list":["post-281303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-ammunition","tag-china","tag-donald-trump","tag-exports","tag-military","tag-missiles","tag-news","tag-produce","tag-shipping","tag-surveillance","tag-tariffs","tag-trade","tag-trade-war","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-war","tag-xi-jinping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
