This note reviews changes in MPER China risk scores in Q2 2024 and discusses the policy outlook. The highlights are:
- Sanctions Exposure Scores jumped in Q2 as blacklisting activity reached a new high due to concerns about Chinese entities sustaining Russia’s war in Ukraine (40% of newly sanctioned entities), contributing to China’s military modernization (21%), facilitating human rights violations (13%), and supporting terrorist organizations (13%).
- Fundamental Risk Scores saw major updates following the release of information in annual reports and several methodology updates. The biggest moves were driven by disclosures around subsidies, industrial policy funding, state ownership, executive linkages to the PLA and CCP, and sensitive technology development involvement.
