China's Commerce Ministry announced that it has temporarily suspended Unreliable Entity List measures against 17 US entities starting on Wednesday, following the joint statement issued after the China-US economic and trade talks in Geneva. 

The Unreliable Entity List Working Mechanism included 17 US entities in the Unreliable Entity List on April 4 and 9, 2025, prohibiting the above-mentioned companies from engaging in import and export activities related to China, as well as making new investments in China, a spokesperson for the ministry said in a post on Wednesday. 

To implement the consensus reached at the China-US high-level economic and trade talks, China will suspend the measures announced on April 4 (Unreliable Entity List Working Mechanism [2025] No. 7) for 90 days and will also suspend the measures announced on April 9 (Unreliable Entity List Working Mechanism [2025] No. 8), the spokesperson said.

In accordance with the provisions of the Unreliable Entity List regulations, domestic companies may apply to conduct transactions with the aforementioned entities. The Unreliable Entity List Working Mechanism will review such applications in accordance with the law and approve those that meet the required conditions, the spokesperson said.
