China’s new draft Export Control Law released

January 2020

On December 28, 2019, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (“NPC”) released a new draft Export Control Law (the “2019 Draft Law”) for soliciting comments from the general public. We set forth a summary of the key changes in the 2019 Draft Law from the last version (the “2017 Draft Law”) released by the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) in June 2017, as well as our comments.

We are preparing a position paper incorporating the comments, and aim to submit it to NPC through the relevant chambers of commerce, with which we have a long standing working relationship. If you are interested in submitting your own comments on this draft law to NPC, please note the deadline is January 26, 2020.
