China has reportedly issued new supply chain security regulations that would tighten export controls and complement existing laws, such as the Anti-Sanction Law and the Export Control Law. According to an analysis by law firm Sidley Austin, the rules would take effect as early as June 2025 and aim to strengthen supply chain security amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. So far, no official publication of the regulatory instrument has been identified on Chinese government channels.

These regulations are part of China's growing trend to use export controls as a foreign policy tool, building on existing measures such as export control lists and sanctions against foreign entities. The rules would affect any company operating within Chinese territory, regardless of its origin. It remains to be confirmed whether the new provisions modify existing control lists or create new authorization procedures.
