Chinese lawmakers are making progress on legislation to retaliate for foreign sanctions amid a growing rivalry with the U.S.
A National People’s Congress committee filed the second draft of legislation aimed at countering sanctions imposed by foreign governments, the official Xinhua News Agency reported late Monday.
