有人覺得美國和東盟談判有困難，所以要放中國出來
China also committed to removing non-tariff countermeasures imposed against the United States since April 2, although it remains unclear how some of these measures will be walked back.
As part of its retaliation in April, China added rare earths to its controlled export list, opened an anti-dumping probe into chemical firm DuPont's <DD.N> China business and blacklisted some U.S. defense and tech firms.
The wording of the agreement suggests those firms will be removed from the list, which barred trade and investment with China and the anti-dumping probe shelved.
The statement only said countermeasures imposed after April 2 will be removed, which would therefore not include a dozen companies blacklisted in March, and the anti-dumping investigation into Google announced in February.
In the case of rare earths, because China's decision applied to all countries, it is unclear whether it will count as a U.S.-specific countermeasure under the agreement.
There is no mention of the U.S. in the original Ministry of Commerce announcement, opens new tab, which required all exporters to seek licenses before shipping seven types of rare earths.
Reuters reported last month that U.S. clients were likely to face a long and uncertain wait for licenses given the trade war.

WHAT IS TRUMP'S STANCE ON PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES?
Trump has sharply criticised the pharmaceutical industry for years over the price of medicines in the United States. He has also chided other wealthy nations for "freeloading" on U.S. pharmaceutical innovation.
During his first term, in 2017, he accused the industry of "getting away with murder" in the prices they charge the government for prescription drugs.
Trump's proposed international reference pricing program was blocked by a court in 2020.
ARE U.S. DRUG PRICES MORE EXPENSIVE?
Yes. The U.S. pays the most for prescription medicines in the world, often nearly three times that of other developed nations.
WHAT IS TRUMP GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
The executive order on Monday differed from what drugmakers had been expecting. Lobbyist sources had told Reuters ahead of the order's signing on Monday that they expected the "most favored nation" pricing to apply to drugs for Medicare patients. But the order appeared to apply to all medicines.
Separately, Trump has also pushed for drugmakers to boost U.S. manufacturing. His administration is conducting an investigation into imports of pharmaceuticals in a bid to levy tariffs on grounds that reliance on foreign production of medicine threatens national security.
HOW DOES THIS DIFFER FROM PREVIOUS PRICE REDUCTION EFFORTS?
Biden's Inflation Reduction Act allows the government to negotiate the price of its most expensive drugs within Medicare.
The prices for the first 10 prescription drugs it negotiated were still on average more than double, and in some cases five times, what drugmakers had agreed to in four other high-income countries, Reuters previously reported.

President Donald Trump signed a law Monday criminalizing the spread of nonconsensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated deepfakes and revenge porn.
The bill passed the House 409–2 in April after unanimously clearing the Senate in February.
Under the law, anyone who distributes intimate images of someone without their consent faces federal criminal penalties. The law mandates that social media companies promptly remove such content when alerted, and empowers the Federal Trade Commission to enforce it.
The law comes amid mounting concerns over the weaponization of AI to create realistic but fake sexual content, often targeting women and public figures. The bill originated under the co-sponsorship of Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who was at the signing ceremony, and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Lawmakers from both parties have described it as a long-overdue protection against online abuse.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed a sweeping tax and spending bill that would enact much of President Donald Trump's policy agenda and saddle the country with trillions of dollars more in debt.
The bill, passed by a single-vote margin, would fulfill many of Trump's populist campaign pledges, delivering new tax breaks on tips and car loans and boosting spending on the military and border enforcement.
The package passed in a 215-214 vote after a marathon push that kept lawmakers debating the bill through two successive nights.
What Trump has dubbed a "big, beautiful bill" now heads to the Senate, which Republicans control by a 53-47 margin.
The 1,100-page bill would extend corporate and individual tax cuts passed in 2017 during Trump's first term in office, cancel many green-energy incentives passed by Democratic former President Joe Biden and tighten eligibility for health and food programs for the poor.
It also would fund Trump's crackdown on immigration, adding tens of thousands of border guards and creating the capacity to deport up to 1 million people each year. Regulations on firearm silencers would be loosened.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab Chief Executive Jamie Dimon told an investor conference in Shanghai that he supported the bill, but acknowledged, "it'll probably add to the deficit."
Hardliners on the party's right flank had pushed for deeper spending cuts to lessen the budget impact, but they met resistance from centrists who worried that would fall too heavily on the 71 million low-income Americans enrolled in the Medicaid health program.
Johnson made changes to address conservatives' concerns, pulling forward new work requirements for Medicaid recipients to take effect at the end of 2026, two years earlier than before. That would kick several million people off the program, according to the CBO. The bill also would penalize states that expand Medicaid in the future.
Johnson also expanded a deduction for state and local tax payments, which was a priority for a handful of centrist Republicans who represent high-tax states like New York and California. The new limit of $40,000 would overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest households, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
