China Sanctions Research

Individuals and organisations targeted by the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, Counter-Measures List and the Unreliable Entities List (UEL).

China does not publish structured data on individuals and entities targeted by the country's sanctions legislation. This dataset is a partial list of individuals and organisations that have been mentioned by spokespeople of the government as designated.

Chinese sanctions are often framed as countermeasures against foreign sanctions and to reprimand public figures for critizing China's policies, particularly regarding Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Xinjiang province.

As of 2024-03-08, only two companies are officially listed as part of the Unreliable Entities List (UEL).

Note: This dataset is not comprehensive and should be used as a research tool but not as a definitive source of sanctions data on China.
