Panel 1 – China, Russia, and the US Regulatory Landscape

Nathan Picarsic will present on drone cooperation (e.g., sales, technological cooperation) as a case study demonstrating the military-relevant ties between Russia and China and on implications for compliance risk that result.

Case Study 2 – Sino-Russian Nuclear Cooperation

Emily de La Bruyere will present on cooperation in nuclear technology as a case study demonstrating the energy- and military-relevant ties between Russia and China and on implications for compliance risk that result.

Panel 2 – A Path Forward: Open Source Techniques for Risk Identification and Compliance
