China passed a new law that orders all individuals and businesses in China to apply sanctions the regime has launched against foreign counterparts. It also bars companies from complying with foreign restrictions placed on Chinese firms and citizens.

Moreover, the law came into effect on June 10, when the regime’s rubber-stamp legislature approved it without a third reading, which is a prerequisite under China’s Legislative Law.
