China's New Law Bolsters Xi Jinping's Response to Foreign Sanctions and Counters Western Hegemony
China has passed a new foreign relations law aimed at strengthening President Xi Jinping's response to sanctions. The law provides a legal framework for countermeasures against foreign entities that engage in discriminatory practices or impose sanctions on Chinese individuals or organizations. It also allows the Chinese government to take necessary measures to protect national sovereignty, security, and development interests. This move comes as China faces increasing pressure from Western countries over issues such as human rights abuses and trade disputes.
