Notes From The China Desk

A cross-border team of Winston & Strawn White Collar and Regulatory attorneys discusses the recent legislative acts in China, which have placed multinationals with operations in China that comply with U.S. sanction laws in a tenuous position. 

On January 9, 2021, in its first order of 2021, the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China issued Measures on Obstructing the Unjustified Application of Foreign Laws and Measures (《阻断外国法律与措施不当域外适用办法》) on the basis of the PRC National Security Law. The Blocking Measures came into effect the same day.
