The FAHFA 2024 China Enterprise Globalization Legal Summit, held on June 13th, 2024, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Shanghai, brought together legal experts to discuss various aspects of Chinese companies operating abroad. The summit, guided by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Business Council and hosted by FAHFA, featured participation from across China and internationally, with representatives from the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing, Chengdu, Thailand, Norway, and the United States to discuss investment access requirements and frameworks, export controls, cross-border data, international arbitration, and offshore litigation.
A key highlight of the summit was Mr. David Pan, a partner at Llinks Law Offices, delivering a keynote speech on 'New Trend and Response to U.S. Sanctions on Chinese Enterprises'. Mr. Pan's presentation covered 'New Trend of U.S. Sanctions on China' and 'Related Risks and How to Respond'. His insightful analysis brought light to the latest trends in U.S. sanctions targeting China's science and technology sector and Russia-related trade. He further provided practical guidance for companies navigating these evolving sanctions, considering the new characteristics and regulations involved.
The summit's focus reflects the growing trend of Chinese companies venturing overseas as the nation's economic power strengthens within a globalized market in the past two decades.
