I am not aware of any upcoming launches on Chinese rockets plus I don't this law can be retroactive to the upcoming Soyuz launches. I don't think Soyuz gives the state dept heartburn anyway.

Our laws tend to be pretty long armed in such matters. Any smidgin of American guidance technology involved would be enough, if the usual pattern is followed. Also, Italy may be assembling the birds, but SS Loral has designed them. And finally, the key alleged transfer in the Chinese Long March crash case was supposed help in making the guidance system work better. Through Loral's review of and comments on the Chinese own crash investigation. I.e., it was what was in the heads of the U.S. trained, and space launch experienced scientists and engineers, that was the issue. And its potential transfer. (Defenders say that Loral merely confirmed the plausability of the report's conclusion that poor wiring standards, including faulty soldering, was cause, and that that was the extent of the brain transfer.)
