In this episode, Tim is joined by Kate Yin (Fangda Partners) and Miller & Chevalier's Richard Mojica and Virginia Newman to discuss due diligence and other issues arising from the newly implemented Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The group walks through the basics of the UFLPA, the challenges it creates for U.S. importers, the industries it targets for enforcement, and the rebuttable presumption for items traced to Xinjiang province. The group then turns to identify concrete steps companies are taking to comply with the UFLPA, including how companies are conducting necessary due diligence while at the same time navigating challenges posed by Chinese Anti-Foreign Sanctions law.

In a refreshing change of pace, Brian and Tim spend time on one of their favorite non-Russia topics, China. First, they discuss President Biden's pledge to defend Taiwan from a PRC invasion and what it means (if anything). Next, they discuss the state of China's imports to Russia following the invasion of Ukraine and the growing debate over various proposals in the U.S. to create a "reverse CFIUS" process to review outbound investment to China and other countries of concern. Finally, Brian and Tim cover two new U.S. government advisories focused on North Korean IT workers and Sudan, respectively.
