US Prepares Economic Sanctions to Deter China Aggression Against Taiwan.
This law mandates the creation of a special task force to prepare a list of Chinese entities (companies, financial institutions, transport, and tech sectors) for immediate sanctions if China takes military or political action against Taiwan. The goal is to deter aggression through economic readiness, which could indirectly affect global supply chains and financial markets. The law requires analyzing the potential global economic consequences of these sanctions for the US and allies and developing plans to mitigate these risks.
