  • China ergreift Gegenmaßnahmen gegen westliche Sanktionen: China’s top legislature passed the Foreign Relations Law, marking a milestone significance as it is the first fundamental and comprehensive foreign relations law that aims to fix the loopholes in the rule of law in foreign-related affairs amid new challenges in foreign relations, especially when China has been facing frequent external interference in its internal affairs under the Western hegemony with unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. (Global Times, China)
