Completion of Anti-Sanction Legal Instruments of China——From the Perspective of Russia's Anti-Sanction Experience
A new Russian legal framework for blocking sanctions of the West is undertaken,and is actually working.Based on the countersanction experience of Russia,China needs to perfect supporting administrative regulations,promulgate anti-foreign sanctions decrees highlighting comparison of trade advantage and adopt countersanctions aiming at a specific target.Russia seldom takes advantage of countersanctions at the international level.However,it is necessary for China to use counter-sanctions at the international level.The escalated sanctions of the West on China are mostly economic sanctions at present.Once those economic sanctions violate WTO agreements,China can hit back with WTO dispute to prove the legitimacy of anti-sanctions by citing article 8.2 of the Agreement on Safeguards,article 9.3 of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Or-ganization,article 21 of GATT 1994 or regulations of countermeasures of the Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for In-ternationally Wrongful Acts.
