China lifts ban on exports of some dual-use materials to U.S.
China’s Ministry of Commerce on Sunday suspended a ban on exporting certain dual-use materials to the U.S. The suspension is effective immediately and will last until Nov. 27, 2026. It reverses a clause in a December announcement that in principle denied export licenses for dual-use items containing gallium, germanium, antimony and superhard materials to the U.S. The December announcement also banned exports of dual-use items to U.S. military users or for military purposes and implemented stricter reviews for graphite exports.
