Description:
As evidenced by sanctions imposed by the outgoing Biden administration, U.S.-China tensions are growing—and expected to continue under President Trump. The U.S. has accused China of cyber warfare, sanctions evasion, and even cutting undersea cables. The U.S. imposed sanctions, export controls, and even temporarily banned TikTok as measures to coerce or punish China.
Join us as our experts delve into the complex web of sanctions and trade restrictions that define the current U.S.-China relationship! In this webinar, you’ll gain practical insights into the risks involved in conducting business with China, as well as best practices to mitigate those risks and strengthen compliance. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn actionable strategies from industry experts!
Highlights of the webinar will include:
-
What export controls have been imposed by the Trump administration so far and what others are likely to follow
-
The sanctions risks related to China and Chinese-domiciled entities, such as dealing with the military-industrial complex (the Chinese Military Companies List)
-
The potential impact of Chinese counter-sanctions on the U.S., such as the “unreliable entities” list
-
How the 2021 U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act has impacted U.S.-China trade
-
Best practices for those looking to do business with China
