China's first foreign relations law passed by parliament committee

China has passed its first foreign relations law in an effort to counter Western sanctions. Beijing claims that this law will serve as a deterrent to sanctions and safeguard its national sovereignty and security. The law was passed at a time when China and the US are embroiled in a dispute over the sanctions. The new law is scheduled to take effect on July 1st.
