China halts ban on export to US of some dual-use metals

CHINA suspended an export ban to the US that had targeted gallium, germanium and antimony, metals crucial for modern technology, Beijing’s commerce ministry announced yesterday in a further deescalation of the trade war with Washington.

The restrictions banned the export of so-called dual-use goods, materials that can have both civilian and military applications.

Imposed in December 2024, the ban will now be suspended until November 27, 2026, Beijing’s commerce ministry said in a statement.

The announcement comes after leaders Xi Jinping and Donald Trump met on October 30 in South Korea and agreed to walk back some punitive measures imposed during their tit-for-tat tariff escalation.

At one point, duties on both sides had reached prohibitive triple-digit levels, hampering trade between the world’s two largest economies and snarling global supply chains.
