Fusion42 · 22 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

China strictly regulates harmful products such as fentanyl precursors, flavored e-cigarettes, and toxic children's products domestically but allows unrestricted export, creating regulatory asymmetry that shifts risks and enforcement burdens to other countries.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Regtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Chinese exporters now operate under looser rules than their domestic counterparts, creating openings for exporters to capitalise on demand abroad while exposing them to regulatory risks as foreign markets tighten controls.
