The US-China truce on chips and rare earths

Both sides paused their autumn 2025 steps for a year: China its October 2025 controls (No. 70, to 10 Nov 2026) and its US mineral ban (No. 72, to 27 Nov 2026); the US its Affiliates Rule (to 9 Nov 2026). In September 2026 MOFCOM said the two sides agreed to extend the Kuala Lumpur arrangement, under which each paused some measures, to 10 Jan 2027, without naming these three.
