Sanctions designation — transaction must be blocked or frozen
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains this register of 157 individuals and entities designated under Beijing's countermeasure framework, blocking their assets and dealings within PRC jurisdiction — essential reference data for correspondent banking due diligence across Asia-Pacific corridors.
China MFA Counter-Sanctions List is maintained by China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law (AFSL) of 2021. It targets foreign individuals and entities involved in enacting sanctions against China, particularly those related to arms sales to Taiwan, Xinjiang/Tibet-related measures, or Hong Kong. Measures include asset freezes within China, entry bans, and prohibition of business dealings with Chinese entities. The list includes executives of major defense contractors.
This is a high-priority sanctions list. Entities on this list are typically subject to full blocking/freezing measures. Persons and entities under applicable jurisdiction are generally prohibited from dealing with listed parties. Assets may be frozen and all transactions are typically blocked.
