On the latest episode of EMBARGOED!, Brian and Tim break down the early days of China’s new national security law aimed at Hong Kong and the U.S. response, including the suspension of preferential export control treatment for Hong Kong and new sanctions on the horizon that take aim at financial institutions. Next, we revisit BIS’s new military end user/military end use rules and try to decipher the recently issued BIS guidance. Finally, we unpack the somewhat unorthodox multi-agency advisory warning U.S. businesses of supply chain risks relating to forced labor and human rights abuses in the Xinjiang region of China. Plus, the Lightning Round features quick thoughts on continued U.S. efforts to disrupt deepening ties between Venezuela and Iran and what the rest of the world is doing with respect to Huawei.
