Here's a quick look at the Law's main provisions:

1. It targets the “discriminatory restrictive measures” imposed by foreign countries on PRC persons (= individuals + entities) that violate int'l law or basic principles of int'l relations & interfere in PRC domestic affairs

2.

3. State Council agencies may also take countermeasures against persons related to listed persons, such as the close family members of listed foreign individuals or the senior management of listed foreign entities.

4. Countermeasures may include denial/revocation of visa, denial of entry, deportation, freezing of assets, and prohibition or restriction on transactions with listed persons, among others.

5. State Council agencies' listing decisions and use of countermeasures aren't subject to administrative reconsideration or judicial review.

6. Those implementing, or assisting in the implemention of, foreign discriminatory restrictive measures, thereby harming Chinese persons' lawful rights and interests, are subject to civil suit in Chinese courts.

7. The Law delegates broad rulemaking power to State Council and its agencies provide for additional countermeasures against acts that harm PRC sovereignty, security, and developmental interests.

8/8. The Law applies by reference to other acts by foreign countries or entities that harm PRC sovereignty, security, and developmental interests, for which it is necessary to take countermeasures. npcobserver.com/legislation/an…

Welp, Twitter seems to have glitched. Tweet #2 above is supposed to say: State Council agencies may place foreign persons directly or indirectly involved in the formulation, decisionmaking, or implementation of discriminatory restrictive mesures on “countermeasures lists.”
