A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the US lifting relevant economic and trade restrictions on China.
A reporter asked: Recently, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said that China and the United States have reached a consensus on the framework details of the London talks. "China will approve applications for export licenses of controlled items that meet the conditions in accordance with the law." The US side will accordingly lift a series of restrictive measures it has taken against China. Recently, it was reported that relevant enterprises have received a notice from the US Department of Commerce to resume the export of EDA software, ethane, aircraft engines and other products to China. May I ask what comment the Ministry of Commerce has on this?
Answer: After the China-Us economic and trade talks in London, the two sides recently confirmed the specific details for implementing the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their phone call on June 5th and consolidating the outcomes of the Geneva economic and trade talks. At present, both teams are stepping up efforts to implement the relevant outcomes of the London Framework. China is reviewing applications for export licenses of controlled items that meet the conditions in accordance with laws and regulations. The US side has also taken corresponding actions to lift a series of restrictive measures against China. The relevant situation has been informed to the Chinese side.
The London framework was hard-won. Dialogue and cooperation are the right way. Blackmail and coercion have no way out. It is hoped that the US side will have a profound understanding of the mutually beneficial and win-win nature of China-Us economic and trade relations, continue to work with China in the same direction, further correct its wrong practices, take concrete actions to safeguard and implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during the phone call, and jointly promote the steady and long-term development of China-Us economic and trade relations.
