Enforcing Sanctions on China and Russia

The Department of State, through the Arms Control and Nonproliferation Cooperative Threat Reduction office, is seeking subject matter experts to identify and disrupt complex sanctions evasion networks involving China and Russia. The initiative focuses on vulnerable jurisdictions where China provides critical financial and technological components used in the manufacturing of advanced conventional weapons for Russia and other proliferator states. By utilizing the latest trade data, the program aims to adapt to evolving evasion strategies and provide essential tools and training to stakeholders motivated to de-risk from Chinese investments. This effort involves targeted engagements with both public and private sector entities to exert pressure on sectors that support these networks, including in countries with governments friendly to Chinese and Russian interests. The project is categorized under NAICS code 541690 and will be performed across multiple international locations. Coordination for this forecast is managed by the Department of State, with primary points of contact including Ryan Taugher and Tyler Sinclair.
