Beijing Expands Anti-Long-Arm Jurisdiction Toolkit

Just six days after issuing the Regulations on Industrial and Supply Chain Security (Doc. 834), China’s State Council released the Regulations on Countering Foreign States’ Improper Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (Doc. 835), another expansion of Beijing’s retaliatory toolkit. Unlike Doc. 834, which governs sectoral and commercial supply chain security and is triggered by a demonstrable harm or threat, Doc. 835 targets foreign legal pressure itself regardless of commercial impact and can therefore be invoked under a lower evidentiary threshold.

USCBC 2017 State Export Report

USCBC 2017 State Export Report

The US-China Business Council’s (USCBC) annual report on state exports shows that China continues to be an important destination for American goods and a significant contributor to US economic growth. “Since 2005, USCBC data reveals that US exports to China have grown faster than exports to any other major US trading partner,” USCBC President John Frisbie said. “Despite the slowdown of a maturing economy, growth the past decade is unmistakable. There is no doubt that China is an important market for states across the country and that more must be done to strengthen US exports to China.”

China’s Official Statistics

China’s Official Statistics

Recently, several media sources reported that Liaoning province had been fabricating its economic data from 2011 to 2014. As reported by the state-run People’s Daily newspaper, city- and county-level governments altered economic data, including exaggerating their fiscal revenues by at least 20 percent. Previously, the official news agency Xinhua reported that one county in Liaoning had overstated its fiscal revenues by 127 percent in 2013. This incident strengthens longstanding suspicions of data manipulation and methodological inadequacies distorting China’s economic performance.Therefore, making sense of China’s economic data poses challenges for foreign investors, who invariably need accurate statistics to make informed business decisions.
