China has renewed export licences for hundreds of U.S. beef processing plants, customs data showed, in a possible goodwill gesture as the leaders of both countries met in Beijing on Thursday.
More than 400 U.S. beef plants lost export eligibility over the past year as Beijing's permissions, granted between March 2020 and April 2021, lapsed without the customary renewal, accounting for roughly 65% of the once-registered facilities.
