EMBARGOED! kicks off 2021 with somber reflections on the riot at the U.S. Capitol before pivoting to (what else?) China to consider the new E.O. targeting AliPay, WeChat Pay, and other Chinese apps, the official arrival of BIS’s MEU List, and the latest guidance from OFAC relating to securities investments in Chinese Military Companies. After that, Brian and Tim check in on the latest developments in a rare North Korea sanctions prosecution in SDNY and then wrap up, in the Lightning Round, by briefly covering a successful court challenge to the ICC-related sanctions program and the passage of expanded Nord Stream 2 sanctions.
