In the first month of his administration (as of February 18), Donald Trump has signed 65 executive orders (EO), including EO 14209 (Feb 10, 2025), pausing the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). China has—by far—been the source of most FCPA cases.

AmCham Shanghai's Legal Committee invites you to a timely discussion on recent US executive orders and their impact on doing business in China on Tuesday, March 11, from 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. at the AmCham Shanghai Conference Room. Our guest speaker, Philip Rohlik, Chief Representative at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP Shanghai Representative Office (US), will examine EO 14209 and its potential implications for both companies conducting business in China and Chinese companies doing business abroad.

During the session, he will also briefly discuss EO 14195 (as amended by EO 14200) which imposes a 10% ad valorem tariff on Chinese goods and eliminates the de minimis duty free exemption on products from China, EO 14166, pausing the application of the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act to TikTok, and other aspects of the Trump Administrations actions with regard to China.
