Fortunately, WireScreen's Larry Sussman is here to unpack all of it for you in his latest blog post. https://lnkd.in/e2yjEyqS

"The TikTok Ban" is all over the news today thanks to today's Supreme Court oral arguments, but the actual law at stake is a bit more complicated than that. In fact, if it stands, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act ("PAFACA") will actually affect an entire class of potential companies and applications. In our latest blog post, Larry Sussman explains what exactly that means, how it's determined, and why the Supreme Court is suddenly concerned about the "contrived corporate structures" of certain businesses controlled by China. https://lnkd.in/em9T63JM

BIS continues to strengthen export controls focused on sales of semiconductors and related technologies to China. https://lnkd.in/embca7x4 In addition to their latest package of rules BIS added eight new red flags to assist exporters in their due diligence checks. These include addressing the scenario where a request for an item or service comes from a new customer whose senior management overlaps with an entity already on the Entity List. Under the new guidance, this would require an exporter, re-exporter, or transferor to conduct additional due diligence before proceeding with the transaction. The trend here is clear — indirect affiliations are increasingly becoming a part of due diligence for exporters, no matter how challenging they are to investigate.

Before diving into the realities of forced labor regulations and the UFLPA, we started this week's WireScreen webinar with a bit of a crash course on the strategic and economic importance of China's Xinjiang region, along with the unique nature of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Want to learn more? Watch the full webinar at https://lnkd.in/evj-_F8z.

Friendly reminder to importers, regulators, supply chain gurus, and international trade compliance folks... our new webinar, "Disrupting Forced Labor - The Evolution of the UFLPA" is this Wednesday, December 4th at 11am. You can register at the link below (or watch any of our previous webinars on demand). https://lnkd.in/evj-_F8z We'll be covering everything you need to know about not just the law, but what brought it about, how enforcement has evolved, and how corporate data can tell you amazing things about potential ties to forced labor. We'll even have a special guest, Eliot Chen from The Wire China to help us explain it all. Even if you can't make it -- or you see this post after Wednesday -- be sure to register so we can send you the on-demand recording. It's going to be a good one! ??
