Description:
Tensions in U.S.–China trade have elevated export-controlled goods into powerful tools of leverage, reshaping the global business landscape. This webinar takes a closer look at how critical technologies and resources are caught in the crossfire of policy shifts, and why companies across industries must be prepared for sudden changes. From the disruption of long-standing supply routes to the ripple effects of tighter licensing regimes, participants will gain a clearer picture of how quickly the rules of trade can transform. The session will also explore the possibility of controls extending to unexpected sectors, challenging businesses to anticipate risks in areas once thought immune from regulatory oversight.
What the webinar aims to cover:
-
Strategic export dominance and import dependency:
Identify the goods and commodities where the US and mainland China hold critical leverage — spanning rare earths, lithium, semiconductors and many other advanced manufacturing inputs. -
Intertwined value chains:
Understand how deeply intertwined supply chains are and how this amplifies the impact of export controls, with both economies reliant on each other for key technologies and raw materials. -
Shifting trade patterns:
Discover how new export restrictions and licensing requirements are driving transshipment, rerouting supply chains and changing the classification of certain critical goods. -
Regulatory agility and risk:
Learn how the increasingly nimble US and Chinese export control regimes can implement swift policy changes that may disrupt business operations overnight. -
Beyond dual-use goods:
Prepare for a potentially broader scope of controlled items — including commodities previously outside traditional export control lists, such as video game
