According to the latest news from Caixin, since June 2018, the regulatory authorities have issued border control orders to Justin Sun and others.

Caixin reported: "In July 2018, when Yuchen Sun was leaving a certain country in Asia, he found that he was under border control and could not leave the country. He was very anxious. He asked people everywhere to find out who issued the border control order, and then communicated with the relevant regulatory authorities."

But since Sun Yuchen broadcasted himself in San Francisco in the early hours of last night, it means that he is overseas. Caixin reported, “According to all the clues, Justin Sun left the country for the United States in late November 2018. As for how he left the country, how he bypassed or temporarily lifted the border control, it is still a mystery.”

The report also shows that when Sun Yuchen met with industry insiders during his stay in the United States in March this year, he asked whether he could return to China.

"Border control" refers to border control. It is to prevent the foreigners or Chinese citizens involved in the case from evading the legal responsibility of the judiciary by taking the opportunity to leave the country, and causing heavy losses to the state, collective or personal property in the country. It is a kind of security measure to restrict the exit of the country at the border port of the country.

Restricted subjects include Chinese citizens and foreigners (people without Chinese nationality). Relevant departments can implement "border control" as long as they find that there are basic facts or reasons for suspected crimes, and they do not need to file a case. For example, receiving a report, having certain internal clues and evidence. According to Xiao Sa, a partner of Beijing Dacheng Law Firm, the reason for restricting exit is not simple, and it does not necessarily involve crime.

If the restricted subjects are in the country, they will be restricted from leaving the country; if they are abroad, they may be subject to corresponding measures when entering the country. In layman's terms, being "border controlled" more accurately means entering the restricted exit list of relevant departments, which has nothing to do with where the subject is located, and does not conflict with the fact that the person is abroad.

In addition, during the period of restricted exit, under normal circumstances, the freedom of activities of the accused person in the country is not restricted. And the border control has a certain period. According to the "Several Regulations on Restricting the Exit of Foreigners and Chinese Citizens According to the Law", for the border control objects that need to grasp the entry and exit dynamics, the control period shall not exceed one year. For border control objects that require other control measures, the control period is generally 1 month, and the longest period shall not exceed 3 months.
