Commerce Ministry extends for two months suspension of some Unreliable Entity List measures on 11 U.S. entities
Published · Updated
What happened
China’s Ministry of Commerce announced that from November 10 it will continue for two months the suspension of certain measures associated with the April 2025 Unreliable Entity List case against 11 U.S. entities.
Why it matters
The announcement changes the operating environment for affected U.S. entities and signals that Beijing is keeping room for trade and technology talks while retaining the option to restore the measures after the suspension period.
On November 9, China’s Ministry of Commerce said it will continue suspending for two months certain measures linked to the April 2025 Unreliable Entity List action against 11 U.S. entities. The ministry said the step is tied to implementing consensus reached in the eighth round of China-U.S. economic and trade consultations. The move preserves the legal basis for the original restrictions while temporarily easing one retaliatory channel during ongoing bilateral talks.
