Chinese Premier Li Qiang penned an order to widen the implementation of the Law on Countering Foreign Sanctions, the State Council revealed on Monday.
The regulation targets not just governments but also foreign entities and individuals seen as harming China's sovereignty. Under the order, Beijing may freeze assets, bar entry, and impose forced measures against anyone pushing "anti-China" litigation abroad, while enforcing such foreign judgments inside the country are strictly prohibited.
The provisions also empower Chinese citizens and companies to sue anyone helping implement foreign discriminatory measures. Lawsuits can demand damages and halt enforcement. This month, Beijing warned it will take countermeasures in response to US-imposed "arbitrary tariffs."
