Based on the consensus of the China-U.S. economic and trade talks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, China will adjust some of its export control measures that target certain U.S. entities on Nov 10, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.

In accordance with relevant export control laws and regulations, the ministry issued Announcement No. 13 of 2025 on March 4 and Announcement No. 21 of 2025 on April 4, adding a total of 31 U.S. entities to China's export control list, thereby prohibiting the export of dual-use items to these entities, the ministry said in a statement.

To implement the consensus of the China-U.S. Kuala Lumpur economic and trade talks, China has decided to lift measures against the 15 U.S. entities listed in Announcement No. 13, effective from Nov 10, 2025, while measures against the 16 U.S. entities listed in Announcement No. 21 will remain in suspension for one year, the ministry said.

Exporters seeking to ship dual-use items to designated entities are required to submit an application to the ministry, adhering to export control regulations for dual-use items. The ministry will review applications in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, issuing permits to those that fulfill the stipulated requirements.

Also on Wednesday, the Ministry of Commerce announced that China will continue to suspend for one year, effective from Nov 10, the unreliable entity list measures it announced on April 4 this year targeting some U.S. companies.

Effective from Nov 10, China will remove the relevant unreliable entity list measures it announced on March 4 this year against some U.S. companies, a ministry spokesperson said in a statement.

As of 19:49 on Monday, China's total box office revenue for the Qingming Festival holiday had surpassed 300 million yuan (about 43.6 million U.S. dollars), according to data from online platforms.

The holiday lineup features animation, family, suspense, and other genres, with "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie", "Project Hail Mary", "It's OK", and "Now I Met Her" leading the tally.

The Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday that falls on the 15th day after the Spring Equinox, and China's three-day Qingming Festival holiday started on Saturday this year. While it is a time to enjoy the greenery of springtime and to visit the graves of ancestors, the holiday has also become a busy period for cultural and tourism activities in China, including visits to the cinema.

Cinemas in Beijing's Chaoyang District, as one of the first pilot areas for China's "movie plus" initiative, are actively exploring the "ticket stub economy," allowing moviegoers to present their ticket stubs from cinemas to receive discounts and added services in subsequent consumption scenarios.

In Xi'an City, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the Xi'an Film Studio Experience Center for Arts of Film integrates film history with tourism, immersing visitors in the glory of classic movies.

"The exhibition gave me a systematic understanding of the historical development of Chinese film industry, allowing me to follow the footsteps of films to learn new things. I harvested both happiness and novel knowledge," said Qiu Keyu, a tourist.

The XR cinema in the park immerses visitors in film scenes.

"After putting on the XR device, I felt completely immersed - it was quite exciting," said Liu Bin, a moviegoer.
