It is often used by countries with strong economic strength as a means to attack and weaken other countries. Economic sanctions were originally an auxiliary means of war, aiming at weakening the enemy's combat capability by weakening its economic strength.
The main sanctions are
1. Measures to control the foreign assets of the sanctioned country, including detaining and freezing its state-owned assets and private property, and confiscating state-owned or private property.
Second, a series of financial and financial sanctions have been taken against the sanctioned country, such as stopping providing loans, restricting or stopping foreign exchange, excluding its business activities in the international financial market, and interfering with the operation of its domestic financial market.
3. To stop economic assistance and cooperation, suspend economic and trade treaties and agreements, stop providing most-favored-nation treatment, partially or completely stop import and export trade, and block trade ports. In international relations, economic sanctions can also be used as a means of revenge.
