ABSTRACT: The expansion of the scope and extraterritorial effect of the United States’ export control poses a serious and realistic challenge to China’s technology, industries, enterprises and macro-economy. This article systematically reviews the historical evolution and the latest legislative trends of the U.S. export control legal system, deeply analyzes its institutional expansion paths such as “long-arm jurisdiction”, technology traceability and supply chain control, and reveals the essence of maintaining technological hegemony through legal technical means. By comparing the differences in the export control systems, the limits of extraterritorial effect and the enforcement systems, it contrasts the differences between the U.S. and China’s export control legal systems. In response to the practical challenges such as the expansion of the control scope, the sharp increase in compliance costs and the impact on the safety of the industrial chain, it proposes three countermeasures: enhancing independent innovation capabilities, improving China’s export control legal system and strengthening international supply chain cooperation, to achieve a transformation from passive defense to rule leadership and ensure national technological security and high-quality industrial development.
