New York, NY — December 15, 2025 — WireScreen today announced the launch of a proprietary dataset that tracks electronics trade between China and Russia. This release provides critical visibility into how sensitive dual-use components continue to navigate global supply chains amidst an evolving sanctions landscape.
The dataset captures multiyear electronics trade activity, offering granular details on supplier-customer relationships, product origins, and shipment values. It is designed to expose network-level risks associated with diversion and trade compliance. Crucially, the data highlights the continued movement of Western-branded electronics through Chinese transshipment points to Russian buyers.
As enforcement tightens, supply chains have not disappeared but adapted. The data highlights China’s continued role as a key transshipment hub for electronics ultimately reaching Russian entities, including components manufactured by globally distributed firms, many headquartered in the United States.
“Sanctions don’t eliminate trade networks, they change how those networks operate,” said David Barboza, co-founder and CEO of WireScreen. “By looking at China–Russia electronics trade over time, we can see how intermediaries, routing decisions, and corporate relationships evolve to move sensitive components in ways that are not visible through lists or single-entity screening.”
The dataset allows users to:
This dataset builds on WireScreen’s existing trade intelligence, joining coverage of China–Mexico fentanyl precursors and China–India manufacturing flows to provide a complete picture of high-risk global trade corridors.
