International Economic Law Essential Security/National security Exception 23 China's digital Yuan is ready to 'go global'. China has signed agreements with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Russia in which these nations agree to receive digital Yuan for oil and natural gas sales to China. China also urges any nation China trades with to accept digital Yuan and not insist on U.S. Dollar payment. The United States President signs an Executive Order based on the |EEPA declaring an extraordinary threat to U.S. national security arising from these developments. The Executive Order {1) forbids any U.S. person from holding or transacting digital Yuan and {2) forbids any U.S. person from selling any product to any entity associated with the digital Yuan project (i.e., technology to the PBOC China's central bank, chips, etc.). Presume hypothetically that China is empowered to bring a claim at an international arbitration arguing that the Executive Order violates international law. The United States argues that the Executive Order is justified to defend U.S. security. You are counsel for China; what will be your arguments in response
