On April 24, 2020, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) hosted a virtual public event on coercive economic measures in the U.S.-China relationship. Over recent years both countries have begun using coercive economic measures, such as export controls, sanctions, and trade and investment controls, as mainstream instruments of foreign policy and national security.
