Forward: The substantive policies already in place and soon to be announced following the May 14 Beijing China-U.S. Talks (officially confirmed, not just slogans) fall into two categories: policies directly finalized on the day with immediate implementation, detailed rules to be released over the next 1–2 months, and previous consensus items directly extended or upgraded this time. All are hard-hitting policies that immediately affect businesses, import/export, technology, and travel. ## I. Trade Tariffs (Most Direct, Fastest to Implement) 1. **Direct extension and optimization of tariff truce** - U.S. officially confirmed: permanent cancellation of the 10% fentanyl tariff on China; 24% punitive tariffs on China extended for an additional 18 months (previously only extended by 1 year, now directly lengthened). - China reciprocates: cancels 10%–15% additional tariffs on U.S. agricultural products (soybeans, corn, beef, pork, wheat), retaining only a very narrow range of 10% tariffs on strategic goods; all others revert to normal rates. 2. **Establishment of a permanent China-U.S. Economic and Trade Committee + Investment Review Committee** – future frictions resolved through mechanisms and negotiations, no more ad hoc tariff hikes or sudden Section 301 investigations. 3. **U.S. suspends Section 301 investigations into Chinese shipbuilding, logistics, and maritime sectors for 18 months**; China simultaneously cancels retaliatory tariffs on ships. ## II. Technology & Export Controls (Major Substantive Easing) 1. **U.S. suspends 50% of penetrative chip export control rules for 18 months** (previously only suspended for 1 year); mid-range chips and equipment are allowed for normal trade with China. 2. **China suspends retaliatory export controls on rare earths and critical minerals for 18 months**, resuming normal global supply. 3. **Both sides agree not to arbitrarily expand entity lists or blacklist companies**; a case-by-case appeal channel for enterprises is established, and a batch of sanctioned Chinese and U.S. companies will gradually have restrictions lifted. ## III. People-to-People Exchanges, Visas, Tourism – Immediate Policies 1. **Mutual restoration of 5-year multiple-entry business and tourist visas**; cancel additional pre-entry scrutiny. 2. **Restore direct China-U.S. flight increases** – starting June, weekly flight numbers will double. 3. **Resume green channels for students and academic exchanges**; relax restrictions on STEM student visas. ## IV. Law Enforcement & Global Cooperation – Hard Arrangements 1. **China-U.S. restart joint counter-narcotics enforcement mechanism**; U.S. cooperates on fentanyl traceability, China cooperates on chemical precursor control. 2. **Military-to-military crisis communication hotline restored** to prevent miscalculations in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait (substantive security policy). ## V. Characteristics of This Round: Different from Past Empty Talks 1. The Busan meeting was a 1-year short-term truce; this Beijing meeting directly upgraded to an **18-month stable policy + 3-year strategic framework**. 2. The economic and trade teams signed a **written implementation memorandum yesterday** – not verbal promises; both countries' finance and commerce ministries will issue official documents for implementation. 3. All policies will be **formally announced and take effect between late May and early June**. ## VI. Items Not Yet Relaxed (Bottom Lines Unchanged) - High-end AI chips, advanced lithography equipment, and military-related technologies remain strictly controlled. - On Taiwan, the U.S. only reaffirms the One-China policy, with no additional concessions.
