The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in China, together with our member and Gold Partner: Wikborg Rein, invites you to an offline seminar in Shanghai on 4 November 2026, on China's evolving export control and anti-sanctions framework.

China's export control and anti-sanctions regime has gradually shifted from a reactive, case-by-case approach to a more systematic and responsive regulatory model. For European companies operating in China, this development brings important legal, compliance, and operational implications.

This seminar will provide an introduction to China's current export control and anti-sanctions legal framework. It will also briefly outline the risks and challenges that European companies in China may face under this anti-sanctions system, including potential compliance risks and practical difficulties in conducting supply chain investigations in accordance with relevant EU and local laws.
