Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : These actions come as part of broader efforts to stabilize trade relations following renewed diplomatic engagement between the two nations.
58% : The easing of these measures signals a significant, though temporary, shift in China's trade policy toward the U.S., particularly in sectors related to semiconductors, renewable energy, and defense technologies that heavily rely on these materials.
57% : Alongside the suspension, China has also paused the stricter end-user and end-use checks for exports of dual-use graphite to the U.S. These controls, announced concurrently with the initial ban, had required exporters to undergo enhanced screening processes to ensure compliance with national security regulations.
