Returning to the Essence of Law:on the Improvement of China's "Blocking Rules"
The blocking law has had legal tool and political bargaining attributes since its inception. China's "Blocking Rules" attach more importance to the bargaining functions,adopting a "strict interpretation,cau-tious application" approach in judicial practice. Institutionally,the various measures are difficult to imple-ment,hindering the realization of its legal function. In order for the Blocking Rules to truly have the effect of counteracting the improper extraterritorial application of foreign laws,relevant improvement measures must return to their legal nature,which is also an inevitable path that aligns with the concept of foreign-related rule of law proposed by Xi Jinping. Therefore,it is necessary to transform the implementation thinking of bloc-king laws,refine various institutional arrangements,give vitality to China's blocking law system and rigor-ously counteract improper extraterritorial expansion of foreign laws through active and strict implementation.
