China rolls out new rules to counter foreign sanctions

Chinese Premier Li Qiang has signed an order to implement new rules for strengthening China’s countermeasures to foreign sanctions, the Chinese government said on Monday.

- 

The rules concern the implementation of China’s anti-foreign sanctions law, which was passed in 2021. The law stipulates that individuals or entities involved in making or implementing discriminatory measures against Chinese citizens or entities could be put on an anti-sanctions list by the Chinese government.

Those on the list may be denied entry into China or be expelled from China. Their assets within China may be seized or frozen, and they could be restricted from doing business with entities or people within China.
