The White House announced a broad range of United States made products may be sold to mainland China under a general license. The move ends a 21 year embargo and allows automobiles, consumer goods, equipment, textiles, chemicals and some metals to be shipped without prior government approval. Wheat and grains exports also lose prior permission requirements, with remaining non listed items needing specific licensing.
