The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions on the suspension of the implementation of penetrating export control rules by the United States

A reporter asked: On November 10th, Eastern Time, the Bureau of Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce announced in the Federal Register that it would suspend the implementation of export control penetration rules for one year. What is the comment of the Ministry of Commerce on this? Will there be an extension in one year?

Answer: The Chinese side has noted that the US has announced the suspension of the implementation of export control penetration rules from November 10, 2025 to November 9, 2026. During this period, companies listed on the US export control "Entity List" and other sanctions lists, whose affiliated companies hold more than 50% of the shares, will not be subject to equivalent export control sanctions due to the penetration rules. This is an important measure taken by the US to implement the Kuala Lumpur Economic and Trade Consultation Consensus between China and the United States. Both parties will continue to discuss the arrangement after a one-year suspension.

China is willing to work with the United States to uphold the principles of mutual respect and equal consultation, strengthen dialogue and exchanges, properly manage differences, and jointly create favorable conditions for promoting mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises of the two countries and ensuring the security and stability of global industrial and supply chains.
