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

Register

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.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
