China’s Mechanism For Industrial And Supply Chain Resilience And Security
China has introduced new measures for industrial and supply chain security investigations to address global geopolitical risks. These regulations integrate supply chain oversight into national security frameworks, marking a shift from purely economic policy.
Why it matters
This signals a more aggressive, security-focused approach by China toward international trade, likely increasing compliance burdens for foreign companies operating in the region.
On June 24, 2026, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) issued Announcement No. 24 of 2026 , formally promulgating the Measures for Industrial and Supply Chain Security Investigations [产业链供应链安全调查工作办法] (hereinafter referred to as the Measures). The Measures were enacted to implement the supply chain security investigation requirements of Order No. 834 , Regulation on the Security of Industrial and Supply Chain s [国务院关于产业链供应链安全的规定] (hereinafter referred to as the Regulation), which was issued by the State Council of the People's Republic of China (State Council) on March 31, 2026. These rules, among other recent Chinese trade controls and countermeasures, were promulgated as a reaction to various sanctions, investigations and other trade restrictions imposed by the United States, the European Union (EU) and other countries and economies. Together, the Regulation and the Measures reflect China's effort to close a perceived gap in its legislative and regulatory framework for addressing industrial and supply chain risks - an effort made more urgent by heightened global geopolitical uncertainty.
