[Online seminar co-hosted by City Yuwa Law Firm and FRONTEO Co., Ltd.]

As is frequently reported in Japan, export controls and other economic security regulations between the United States and China are getting stronger year by year. Until 10 years ago, Japanese companies, except for a few companies, hardly had to pay attention to economic security regulations when doing business in China. However, in recent years, US regulations have been frequently strengthened, and Chinese regulations have been strengthened in response, so it has become essential to understand and update the economic security regulations of both China and the United States when making investment and management decisions in China. In this seminar, we will mainly explain the economic security regulations under Chinese law that Japanese companies should be aware of when doing business in China, and also provide an overview of the US export regulations that are the main problem for Chinese businesses.
