An April 9 measure that added six US firms to the list has also been paused, the spokesperson said, adding that domestic enterprises are now permitted to apply for engaging in transactions with these entities, state-controlled media outlets reported.

China has also suspended export control measures that added 28 US entities to its export control list in announcements on April 4 and April 9 for 90 days.
