This week on Weekly China Recap with Xing Zheming, we take a closer look at China’s move to revise its Foreign Trade Law—the first foundational overhaul in years.

The law, first enacted in 1994, has been revised before, but this time the stakes are much higher. China remains the world’s largest trader, yet global headwinds are mounting: protectionism, sanctions, supply chain shifts, and growing frictions not only with the United States but also with Europe and beyond.

The draft revision goes beyond updating rules—it institutionalizes reforms in digital trade, green trade, and new business models, while also introducing sharper defensive tools such as legalized countermeasures against sanctions and trade restrictions.

For China, this is not just about trade—it’s about building resilience in a turbulent geopolitical landscape, while keeping the door open to global markets.

Tune in to understand how Beijing is rewriting the rules of engagement for the next phase of global trade.
