China in the Crosshairs: An Overview of the U.S. Approach to Mitigating National Security Concerns

Webinar | 06.23.20, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:30 AM EDT

In the past several years, the U.S. government has issued a series of sweeping Executive Orders, policy announcements, and other regulatory and enforcement actions as part of a multi-pronged approach to protect U.S. national interests against the perceived challenges a rising China presents. To help industry contextualize these actions within the broader framework of the U.S. approach to China, and to understand the emerging trends, our C&M International trade professionals and C&M International Trade and Government Contracts attorneys will provide commentary and insight across a series of topics, including:


  • Recent changes to national security reviews by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) targeting capital from China;
  • The new EAR foreign-direct product rule aimed at Huawei and its affiliates, and the Military End user / End Use Rule;
  • Entity List additions; 
  • Tariffs and Trade Remedies developments; 
  • Establishing the new Team Telecom; 
  • Securing U.S. Bulk Power Systems;
  • FAR Supply Chain restrictions and implementation plans;
  • The U.S. Department of State’s announcement on the revocation of Hong Kong’s trade status; and
  • Criminal prosecution of sanctions violations and trade secret theft.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy.
