China Extends Two Trade Barrier Probes Into US Till December 27
The commerce ministry said the cases are complex, delaying possible retaliatory steps after the two probes targeted US trade barriers and green-product restrictions.
- China's Ministry of Commerce extended two investigations into American trade practices until December 27, state broadcaster CCTV reported on September 30, delaying potential retaliatory measures by Beijing.
- These investigations serve as counter-measures to United States Section 301 probes regarding industrial capacity and forced labor allegations. Beijing previously labeled those American trade investigations as "political manipulation."
- The Ministry of Commerce stated the extension was granted due to the "complexity" of the cases, which focus on American measures that "disrupt global supply and industrial chains" and "hinder trade in green products."
- Recent talks between United States President Donald Trump and Jinping led to a truce extension through January 10, including tariff cuts on $60 billion of goods.
- Stabilizing relations remains the goal after the 2025 tit-for-tat fight saw tariffs soar above 100%, with both China and the United States committing to reduce tariffs on goods worth $30 billion each.
