Background

Shuqun LTD is registered in the United Kingdom. Treasury added it to the sanctions list on 7 August 2026, alongside Sanovo LTD and Qianza LTD, the two other UK-registered firms named in the same shadow-banking round.

Treasury supplies a bare designation for Shuqun: a jurisdiction and a date, nothing describing its trade or ownership. The published notice recording the action is an image file rather than text, closing off any independent search of the record.
