摘要

The Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law (AFSL) adopted by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) is a landmark development in China's lawfare with Western countries;especially the United States. The AFSL now provides the Chinese Government and citizens with a powerful legal weapon to counteract sanctions imposed by foreign countries against Chinese citizens and cor-porate entities. For this reason, it has been characterized as China's "blocking statute."
