China’s biggest maker of light-emitting diode (LED) chips surged after the United States removed it from a list of foreign entities requiring special checks.

Shares of Sanan Optoelectronics Co jumped by the 10 per cent daily limit on Monday in Shanghai.

The US Department of Commerce removed Sanan and seven other Chinese companies from its “unverified list”, according to a June 27 release.

While firms on that list are not barred from doing business in the US, they may need additional licences to buy products from American entities.

The decision was only reported widely in Chinese local media over the weekend.
