As global trade dynamics grow increasingly complex, export controls have become an invisible web testing the compliance capabilities of semiconductor companies. Addressing these challenges and ensuring stable international operations has emerged as a critical issue for Guangzhou's semiconductor industry development.
The "Guangzhou Semiconductor Industry Export Control Risk Management Seminar," jointly organized by the Guangzhou Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Guangzhou Semiconductor Industry Association, was successfully held on January 21, 2026, providing valuable practical guidance for enterprises.
I. Expert Analysis: Comprehensive Overview of Export Control Compliance Systems
The seminar brought together industry experts who delivered in-depth analysis of export control fundamentals, offering enterprises a solid theoretical foundation for building compliance frameworks.
Deep Dive into U.S. Export Control System
Luo Xinqu, partner at Jingtian & Gongcheng (Guangzhou) Law Firm and international trade remedy expert, systematically explained the legal framework and enforcement mechanisms of U.S. export controls. His presentation focused on the "four-dimensional control logic" in the semiconductor sector, helping companies clearly identify potential risks in U.S. exports while proposing practical compliance system recommendations.
Risk Assessment and Response Strategies for Guangzhou's Semiconductor Industry
Dr. He Siyao from Sun Yat-sen University Law School presented a precise analysis of Guangzhou semiconductor companies' current risk awareness and compliance practices through detailed case studies and field research data. She identified common vulnerabilities and core challenges while proposing actionable strategies from both enterprise capability improvement and industry collaboration perspectives.
II. Practical Implementation: In-Depth Discussion on Corporate Compliance Pathways
The seminar featured interactive sessions where participating company representatives actively engaged with experts to discuss current compliance system development status and practical challenges in export operations. This collaborative approach helped companies identify compliance management methods and risk prevention strategies tailored to their development stages.
III. Policy Support: Trade Promotion Council Facilitates Compliant Development
Zeng Shangzhong, member of the Guangzhou Council for the Promotion of International Trade leadership group, emphasized in his concluding remarks that semiconductor integrated circuit industry is a national strategic emerging sector where compliance management directly impacts international competitiveness. He urged companies to strengthen compliance awareness and proactively identify, assess, and address export control risks.
Zeng committed that the Council would continue conducting compliance needs assessments while integrating legal, policy, and training resources to provide targeted, ongoing support for enterprises.
IV. Future Outlook: Establishing Sustainable Compliance Support Systems
To further enhance corporate compliance capabilities, the Guangzhou Council for the Promotion of International Trade plans to organize regular export control compliance training and specialized seminars, building sustainable support systems. This continuous capacity-building initiative aims to help companies better understand and manage export control risks while supporting Guangzhou's semiconductor industry development.
