China Ministry of Commerce Sets Industrial Supply Chain Security Rules

The Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China implemented a new 22-article regulatory framework on June 24, 2026, to govern investigations into industrial and supply chain security. The rules establish specific operational guidelines regarding the scope, content, procedures, and remedial actions associated with these security probes.

These measures aim to protect the rights of Chinese enterprises and ensure the stability of both domestic and global supply chains. The new guidelines function as an implementation of broader security regulations previously released by the State Council of the People's Republic of China in April 2026. Those earlier regulations focused on increasing resilience, preventing security risks, and safeguarding national security and social stability.
