China is betting that the West is in irreversible decline
ITS GAZE fixed on the prize of becoming rich and strong, China has spent the past 40 years as a risk-averse bully. Quick to inflict pain on smaller powers, it has been more cautious around any country capable of punching back. Recently, however, China’s risk calculations have seemed to change. First Yang Jiechi, the Communist Party’s foreign-policy chief, lectured American diplomats at a bilateral meeting in Alaska, pointing out the failings of American democracy. That earned him hero status back home. Then China imposed sanctions on British, Canadian and European Union politicians, diplomats, academics, lawyers and democracy campaigners. Those sweeping curbs were in retaliation for narrower Western sanctions targeting officials accused of repressing Muslims in the north-western region of Xinjiang.

Support Taiwan’s participation in International Organisation Act, the French Senate passed an overwhelming majority
The French Senate passed “Taiwan’s Participation in the Work of International Organisation Act” with the overwhelming number, supporting Taiwan participates multiple international organisations. This voting result will almost inevitably anger Beijing, Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye wrote to French parliamentarians twice this years, to obstruct the senator’s visit to Taiwan, and threatened that if French keeps supporting Taiwan to participate international organisations, they will be sanctioned by China.
The French Senate, which is dominated by the right-wing opposition, passed the “Taiwan Participation in the Work of International Organisations Act” with 304 votes in favour, 0 votes against, and 19 abstentions on Thursday (6May).
This bill, which is supported by local cross-country parties, is non-binding. It was jointly proposed by Joël Guerriau, Vice Chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, and Alain Richard, Chairman of the next group, in March, hoping that France would participate for Taiwan in The World Health Organisation, General Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, ‘United Nations Convention on Climate Change” and even International Criminal Police Organisation have worked hard.

The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress passed the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law; any individual who fails to cooperate with the countermeasures will be held accountable
The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China closed today (10th June) in Beijing, according to the CCTV, the decision and proposal of Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law has passed during the meeting. Now, the proposal of Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law still has not published. European and American countries have been countered by Chinese government due to the issues of Xinjiang human rights, Hong Kong’s situation, and annunciation to sanction the Chinese and Hong Kong officials. According to the interview of Director Tian Feilong which podcasted by Now News, he described that proposal will be a “legal weapon” to counter external interference. And he said Hong Kong is necessarily to cooperate with the law, stated that after the law has been passed, it might be included in Annex III of Hong Kong’s basic law, or Hong Kong government may revise and formulate relevant local laws on its own.
The Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law also sets out, the relevant departments of the State Council can take measures, including not issuing visas, not allowing the entry, log-outing visas or even deporting; sealing up, seizing, and freezing movable, immovable, and other various properties in China; and prohibit or restrict organisations and individuals in China from conducting transactions and cooperation with them, etc.
Tian indicated, in the past, China faced sanctions mainly through the administrative measures of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, which were limited to the economic and foreign trade areas of the original Ministry of Commerce and blocked them. The individual countermeasures announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are only administrative in nature. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the relevant legal system. He described the "Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law" as a "legal toolbox" to counter external interference, and to make countermeasures act in accordance with the law, forming a stronger law enforcement force.

More sanctions from US!

The US Department of Commerce added 23 Chinese entities to its blacklist, including 14 it alleges “have enabled Beijing’s campaign of repression, mass detention, and high-technology surveillance” against ethnic and religious minorities in the northwest region of Xinjiang, where the US has accused the Chinese government of committing “genocide and crimes against humanity.”
