MOFCOM’s US and Americas bureau said the eighth round of US‑China trade talks
produced an agreement to extend the Kuala Lumpur joint arrangement. In October
2025 both sides had agreed to suspend parts of each other’s tariffs and
non‑tariff measures through Nov 10, 2026; the talks agreed, on the basis of
extending that arrangement to Jan 10, 2027, to continue actively exploring the
issue with the aim of reaching a mutually agreed solution.
