Export Restrictions and Export Controls, with focus on the US-China Semiconductor War. Representing a continuation of the debate on export restrictions and export controls, this book navigates the complexities of international trade law. Under the aegis of global security, it features a number of diverse yet interconnected topics on export restrictions and export controls and highlights the multi-faceted trade, economic, and security challenges faced by developed and developing countries. The author will focus on chapter 6, covering the US-China semiconductor war and how it is impacting on the global trading system.
