PRC Enacts "Anti-Foreign Sanctions" Law, Targeting Families
The PRC has enacted an 'anti-foreign sanctions' law that creates countermeasures on those who 'directly or indirectly participate' in following sanctions against PRC companies such as those the US has implemented against Dahua and Hikvision.
This law empowers PRC government officials to target not only the organizations and executives who do this but their families as well.
Inside this note, we examine how this new PRC law risks impacting industry organizations ranging from Intel, NVIDIA, Google to even ONVIF and SIA who recently expelled Dahua in what Dahua alleges is because of US sanctions.
