New Export Control Framework: Key Insights from the European Chamber Briefing

Our team attended a briefing at the European Chamber Shanghai Office, hosted by President Jens Eskelund, focusing on the critical report Exporting Control — China’s New Strategic Strategic Toolkit.

The briefing dealt with updates on the expansion of China’s export control regime, severe supply chain vulnerabilities for rare earths and critical raw materials, and the operational risks tied to new extraterritorial controls effective November 2026. The closed-door session outlined the future direction of China’s trade policy tools and practical risk mitigation strategies for European firms managing international supply chains.
