China Unreliable Entities List, Introduced in 2020
In 2020, China had introduced the Unreliable Entity List to safeguard China national sovereignty, security and development interests (in accordance with China foreign trade law and national security law).
On September 19, 2020, upon approval of the State Council, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) released the Provisions on the Unreliable Entity List (English translation prepared by MOFCOM). The Provisions establish the framework of an “unreliable entity list” (UEL) regime, under which punitive measures may be imposed on designated foreign entities, including companies, other organizations, or individuals, for conduct that is contrary to China’s national interests. MOFCOM first announced on May 31, 2019, that China would introduce the UEL regime. In the 2019 announcement, MOFCOM referred to the Foreign Trade Law, National Security Law, and Anti-trust Law as the basis of the regime. The final Provisions provide that the Provisions were formulated in accordance with the Foreign Trade Law, National Security Law, and “other relevant laws,” without mentioning the Anti-trust Law.
