In this informative and timely webinar hosted by the US-China Business Council, Mayer Brown International Trade Group partner, Jing Zhang, provided insights on key issues US investors face following the release of China’s new measures in early 2021.

• What types of transactions are caught?
• What sectors are subject to scrutiny?
• What are the review procedures and timelines?
