Navigating China’s New Counter-Sanctions Framework: A Fireside Chat

In April 2026, China issued two regulations—Decrees 834 and 835—that reshape the compliance landscape for multinational companies. These rules introduce new counter-sanctions tools, restrict supply chain due diligence, and increase potential personal liability—creating new challenges for organizations navigating US, EU, and China-related requirements.

Join partners Todd Liao and Carl Valenstein for a practical discussion of these developments, including how they may impact global compliance programs and what companies can do to mitigate risk.

Key Topics for Discussion:

• Interlocking effect: When complying with US/EU rules triggers parallel consequences in China 
• Supply chain due diligence: Navigating China restrictions alongside US UFLPA and EU CSDDD 
• “Malicious Entity List”: Expanded risks tied to “promoting” foreign sanctions 
• Personal liability: Increased exposure for executives and compliance officers 
• Action items: Near-, mid-, and long-term risk mitigation strategies

Who Should Attend?

This program is designed for general counsel, chief compliance officers, trade and sanctions counsel, and business executives at multinational companies—including US-based organizations—with operations, suppliers, or customers in China.
