EMBARGOED! Episode 43: Russia and Iran and China, Oh My!

This week on EMBARGOED!, Brian and Tim cover three of their favorite topics: Russia, Iran, and China. First, they discuss the latest U.S. threat to deploy Huawei-style foreign direct product rule restrictions on exports to Russia. Next, they consider whether it is truly now or never for JCPOA 2.0 and, then, contemplate the future of DOJ’s China Initiative in the wake of a high-profile dismissal. Finally, in the Lightning Round, Brian and Tim go below deck to provide some perspective on recent developments in a Helms-Burton lawsuit targeting major players in the cruise industry and share some quick thoughts on the new U.S. government advisory regarding Burma (Myanmar).

EMBARGOED! Episode 39: A Heaping Helping of China with a Side of Turkey

Brian and Tim give thanks for having no shortage of China topics to cover (ever), which include BIS’s new interim final rule establishing controls on certain items that can be used for malicious cyber activities, authorized (and possibly unauthorized) exports to Huawei, the FCC’s revocation and termination of China Telecom Americas’ license, and a brief Lightning Round discussion of the latest on Taiwan. In the middle of all that China content, Brian and Tim also discuss the possible implications of a recent FSIA ruling in the Halkbank case.
