China just passed a law that punishes any company — including American ones — for following US sanctions against Chinese firms. 中國近日通過一項法律,將懲罰任何遵守美國對華制裁措施的公司——即使美國企業也不例外。
Starting July 1, China’s new Counter-Extraterritoriality Regulation takes effect. It gives Beijing the legal power to fine, sue, or sanction any business anywhere in the world that follows US rules targeting Chinese companies. In simple terms: if an American company stops doing business with a Chinese tech firm because Washington said to — China can now legally punish that American company.
This puts thousands of US businesses in an impossible position. Follow the US government’s orders and face punishment from Beijing. Follow Beijing and break American law. There is no winning move.
Nearly half of all American companies operating in China already say they have lost sales due to US export controls. Now they face legal retaliation on top of that. Jobs, revenues, and supply chains are all at risk.
China is playing a long, calculated game. It is building laws specifically designed to neutralize America’s economic weapons — sanctions, export controls, and trade restrictions. And it is moving fast.
July 1 is two weeks away. American businesses are running out of time.
Do you think US companies should pull out of China completely to avoid this legal trap? Tell us below.
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth tweeted on X an hour ago that “US Indo-Pacific Command” will revert to its old name, “US Pacific Command”.
This is the latest of multiple moves from the western allies against India.
The US attacked three Indian ships last week, killing three sailors. The US left the ships to sink, and the surviving sailors were rescued by Oman.
Earlier this week, the UK armed forces grabbed an Indian-run ship, the Smyrtos, as it passed through the Straits of Dover on its way to India.
Both acts appear to contravene international law, specialists say.
EXPLOITING INDIA AS A PARTNER The “Indo-Pacific” name was introduced in May 2018 by the US armed forces to emphasize the US’s favoring of India and the Indian Ocean area.
In mid-2025, the US military instructed the international mainstream media to use “Indo-Pacific” in place of “Asia-Pacific”. The media obeyed, as Google searches confirm, with a huge spike in the use of that name.
At the time, the US believed it could exploit India as a partner to maintain western domination over Asia–as specified in US foreign policy.
But the US and its vassal (“ally”) the UK appear to have changed attitude to India these days, and so the “Indo” is disappearing from the name with immediate effect. US Indo-Pacific Command is now US Pacific Command.
Hegseth’s announcement of the name reversion today echoes his earlier move – to change Department of Defense to the (admittedly more accurate) Department of War.
ILLEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW The UK seizure is an astonishing story.
On Sunday this week, the UK armed forces grabbed the Smyrtos, as it passed through the English channel on its way to Sikka in India.
The Smyrtos is owned by a Hong Kong-registered company, Zhao Yao Shipping Ltd, and is managed by a company in Tamil Nadu, India.
The UK claimed it was a stateless ship carrying Russian oil – but the seizure would still be illegal under international law, said Craig Murray, former Head of Maritime Section of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Just because the US or an ally creates a sanction, that has no force of law in a transnational context.
DIRTY TRICK Murray shared an untold story. When the Smyrtos began its journey, it was flying the Cameroonian flag and was listed on the Cameroonian register.
But after it had set sail, the EU and UK threatened to halt development aid to Cameroon unless they removed Russia-friendly vessels from their shipping register.
“So the UK blackmailed Cameroon into deregistering the ship. Then, before the ship could reach a friendly port, the UK boarded it because it had been deregistered,” said Murray.
It may surprise some people that western nations should do such a dirty trick. “The UK actions are patently – and deliberately – unreasonable,” Murray added.
But the UK public is not hearing the real facts – it is “an astonishing story which the media will not tell you”, he said.
MODI IN A SPOT
These actions put Indian leader Narenda Modi in a spot. He has been energetically cozying up to the United States and Israel, despite their unpopularity among the people of India.
Now his people are asking: when will he give India a more independent, assertive stance?
When Deng Xiaoping took the reins of a broken, backward China in 1978, he didn’t present a flawless ideological manifesto. Instead, he dropped a piece of ancient folk wisdom that became the absolute mantra of the Chinese miracle: “Cross the river by touching the stones.” (摸着石头过河). 當鄧小平於1978年接手一個破敗、落後的中國時,他並沒有提出一套完美無缺的意識形態宣言。相反地,他引用了一句古老的民間智慧,並將其變成中國奇蹟的核心信條:
The philosophy was simple: We know where the other side of the river is (wealth, stability, modernization). But the water is deep, current-heavy, and murky. We don’t have a bridge. So, how do we cross? You take a step. You feel with your foot under the water until you find a solid stone. If it holds your weight, you step onto it. If it wobbles, you pull your foot back and feel for another one.
You don’t commit to a leap of faith; you commit to relentless, small-scale experimentation.
Deng wanted to modernize agriculture, but the Communist Party dogma insisted on collective farming—even though it was starving the population. Instead of rewriting the national constitution overnight (which would have caused a political war), Deng looked at a tiny, desperate village called Xiaogang. The farmers there had secretly, illegally divided their land into family plots, promising to give the state its quota but keep the surplus to sell.
The result? Their harvest multiplied by ten in a single year. Deng didn’t punish them. He used their village as a “stone.” He watched the feedback, saw the stone was solid, and then quietly legalized the “Household Responsibility System” across the entire country. He let a local, illegal hustle rewrite national economic policy.
When China wanted to test capitalism and attract foreign investment, the hardliners panicked that it would corrupt the socialist soul of the country. Deng’s solution? He didn’t open up Beijing or Shanghai. He picked Shenzhen—a sleepy fishing village of 30,000 people right on the border of British Hong Kong.
He designated it a “Special Economic Zone.” It was a laboratory. If capitalism failed or caused a political disaster, the damage was contained to a tiny patch of sand on the coast. But the stone held. Shenzhen exploded, building skyscrapers at the rate of one floor every three days. Once the feedback proved the experiment worked, Deng stepped onto the next stones, opening up 14 more coastal cities to the global market.
If a policy works—even if it breaks your ideological rules—you step on it. If it fails, you drop it immediately and adjust.

BREAKING NEWS: Canadian leader Mark Carney is pulling the plug on a fake “human rights watchdog” which did nothing but demonize the Chinese, it was revealed last night. 突發新聞:昨晚揭露,加拿大領導人馬克·卡尼正在終止一個虛假的「人權觀察組織」,該組織除了妖魔化中國之外別無作為!
The Canadian taxpayer will no longer finance the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise, or CORE.
CORE was launched in 2019 as a group which would investigate human rights violations committed by Canadian companies operating around the world, which of course has about 200 countries and territories.
But in reality, it did nothing of the sort.
DARK TRUTH CORE had only one target: China. All it did was echo the China demonization narrative spun by the US National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA spin-off.
This originally alleged a “genocide” of Chinese Uyghurs, but when not a single victim could be identified, was switched to claiming “slave labor” of the same group.
In six years of burning Canadian taxpayer cash, all of CORE’s cases were attempts to stop people employing Chinese Uyghurs. CORE targeted three garment makers, Ralph Lauren, Nike and Levi Strauss, and two mining companies, GobiMin and Dynasty Gold Corp.
The slave labor claim was based on an extraordinarily unfair ruling from the US Commerce Department that every item from Uyghur areas is classified by default as a production of slave labor, even if it was produced entirely by machine, or by someone else. Thus, reality itself was subverted.
The Canadian government, under Justin Trudeau, adopted this patently absurd system.
HURTING UYGHURS At a 2024 international meeting to discuss this topic, delegates concluded that products, rights, and jobs, of Uyghur people were being hit hard – not by the Chinese government but by deeply unfair sanctions and policies from the United States and allies such as Canada.
The west was “clearly harming the people they were claiming to defend”, warned speakers at the International Symposium on Employment and Social Security in Xinjiang in December of that year.
More than 200 representatives from 44 countries, regions and organizations attended the event.
ANOTHER TRUMP TARIFF Meanwhile, the US is launching a new tariff of 12.5 per cent on goods from countries around the world which it deems has failed “to restrict the importation of goods produced by forced labor”.
This is supposed to apply to at least 59 countries, preliminary reports say.
But a CNBC report on the new policy has only one illustration: a picture of workers in Xinjiang.
This neatly encapsulates another problem facing people who prefer the truth to US-manufactured narratives.
The western mainstream media constantly quotes five groups:
The World Uyghur Congress
The Uyghur American Association
The Uyghur Human Rights Project
The Campaign for Uyghurs, and
The Uyghur Transitional Database.
Western mainstream media staff print their claims while never mentioning that ALL OF THEM, not one or two or three, but all five of them, were financed by the National Endowment for Democracy.
