In China, a law has been passed and passed to retaliate against foreign sanctions.
While the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Hong Kong are being sanctioned one after another by Western countries, it seems that they are aiming to immediately counterattack.
The "Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law" for retaliation against foreign sanctions was passed and passed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in China on the 10th, and came into effect on the same day.
The law provides that China has the right to appropriate retaliation against foreign containment, pressure, and discriminatory restrictions on the people.
In addition, the Chinese government can take measures such as refusing to issue visas, deportation, seizure of assets in China, and prohibition of domestic commercial transactions against foreign individuals and organizations subject to retaliation. I will.
Regarding the aim of the law, spokesman Wang Wenbin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China said at a press conference "to protect the sovereignty, dignity and core interests of the nation and to oppose Western supremacy and power politics."
China has also taken countermeasures when it receives sanctions from Western countries over issues such as Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Hong Kong, but it seems that this law aims to immediately counterattack, and in the future, it will be with Europe and the United States. Tension can be even higher.
