China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a blocking order prohibiting compliance with US secondary sanctions targeting five Chinese companies over Iran-related oil trade. The measure invokes China’s blocking statute to counter extraterritorial application of US sanctions. This directly affects cross-border trade and export control enforcement between China and the US.
