China's Ministry of Commerce announced that starting August 12, 2025, it will continue to suspend or remove export-control measures on certain U.S. entities. This action aligns with the consensus reached during the recent high-level China-U.S. economic and trade meeting held in Stockholm. The suspension extends for 90 days the measures under the Unreliable Entity List Working Mechanism issued earlier in April. Separately, China has imposed countermeasures against two European Union financial institutions, banning them from transactions. These measures are a direct response to the EU's sanctions targeting Chinese companies involved in Russia-related activities.
