South Korea to Ease Chemical Regulations to Offset Impact of Japanese Export Curbs
Aug 14, 2019
The trade friction between South Korea and Japan has attracted considerable attention and led many (click here[1] and here[2]) in the Korean media to question MoE’s chemical regulations including K-REACH[3]and CCA[4]. In response to Korean media’s criticism of K-REACH and CCA, the MoE has issued several official explanations reiterating its stance and urging the public not to blame chemical regulation for material localization issues (CL news, click here[6] and here[7]).

Challenges and Strategies for Chemical Parks in China
Aug 09, 2019
China`s approximately 600 chemical parks are currently in a situation that at first glance seems quite enviable. As the government has mandated the relocation of chemical production into chemical parks and imposed tight deadlines, attractive chemical parks get a large number of enquiries from potential tenants. As a consequence, they can afford to be selective. On average, many accept only 30-40% of all applications, and this figure can go down to as low as 10% in specific locations. Some provinces have set up high entry barriers for allocating space in chemical parks, e.g., Shandong province asks for a minimum investment of 300 million RMB for production of hazardous chemicals.

Potential Impacts of the U.S. - China Trade War on the Chemical Industry Supply Chain
Aug 09, 2019
With President Trump currently pursuing a highly aggressive trade policy towards China, the impact on chemical supply chains in China, the U.S., and the rest of world could be substantial. U.S. and Chinese chemical companies are already being impacted, and their options to mitigate the consequences of this policy in the short term seem limited. This is due to several factors, such as the substantial effort required to develop new trade relationships and unwillingness to invest huge amounts of capital in establishing new supply chains.
