Treasury Lifts Sanctions on One, Slaps New Ones on Chinese National

## Summary

On July 30, 2026, OFAC lifted sanctions on Cagri Duransoy, unblocking his property and allowing normal dealings again. At the same time, OFAC added new people, like Xin Tang from China, to the sanctions list, freezing their U.S.-based assets and banning U.S. folks from doing business with them. These moves shake up who can and can’t access money or property under U.S. rules, effective immediately.
