OFAC added Wang Guoying to the SDN List on 12 September 2026.
OFAC published an SDN List record for Wang Guoying on 12 September 2026 under the SDNTK programme, identifying an alias, a Chinese passport and CEC Limited.
An SDN entry concerning Wang Guoying
The United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, published a record concerning Wang Guoying in its sanctions-list search tool on 12 September 2026 . The record places her on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, referred to by OFAC as the SDN List .
Wang Guoying is described as a Chinese national, born on 19 March 1950 . The record links the entry to the SDNTK programme code . SDNTK appears in the programme field of the record available through OFAC's search engine .
OFAC states that its search covers the SDN List and other sanctions lists that it administers, including the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, the Non-SDN Iran Sanctions Act List, the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List, and the List of Foreign Financial Institutions Subject to Correspondent Account or Payable-Through Account Sanctions . The page states that programme codes attached to each result indicate the treatment of a confirmed match .
According to OFAC, the search engine uses fuzzy matching between submitted text strings and names or name components on the SDN List and the other covered lists . The tool may return close matches, including where certain spelling or data-entry errors are present, depending on an adjustable confidence level . OFAC states that it makes no recommendation on the appropriate confidence level .
OFAC's page states that the search tool is one instrument among others for using the SDN List and the agency's other administered lists . It adds that use of the tool does not limit civil or criminal liability arising from an act undertaken on its basis or in reliance on it . The record reviewed therefore identifies Wang Guoying under the SDNTK programme, with Chinese nationality and a date of birth of 19 March 1950 .
Alias, passport and link to CEC Limited
The individual record associates Wang Guoying with an alias, although the available extract from the page reviewed does not reproduce that alias . It also refers to a Chinese passport number, whose value does not appear in that extract .
The same record refers to a link with CEC Limited . The available extract specifies neither the nature of that relationship, nor Wang Guoying's role within that entity, nor a jurisdiction of incorporation or address for CEC Limited . Nor does it provide a registration number, alternative corporate name or date relating to that company .
OFAC describes its Sanctions List Search tool as covering the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, known as the SDN List, as well as several other lists administered by the agency . The page specifically cites the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, the Non-SDN Iran Sanctions Act List, the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List, the List of Foreign Financial Institutions Subject to Correspondent Account or Payable-Through Account Sanctions, and the Non-SDN Palestinian Legislative Council List .
According to OFAC, the programme codes associated with each result indicate the treatment of a confirmed match . The page recommends attention to those codes because of the number of lists brought together in the search tool . For the entry concerned, the SDNTK programme code appears among the details displayed in the record .
OFAC's search engine applies fuzzy matching between submitted strings or name components and those appearing on the SDN List or other sanctions lists . It identifies certain spelling or data-entry errors and may return close matches according to a confidence level adjustable by means of a slider . OFAC states that it makes no recommendation on the appropriate confidence level .
The page states that this tool assists in using the lists but does not replace appropriate due diligence . It adds that its use does not limit civil or criminal liability connected with an act undertaken on the basis of the tool .
In the available extract, the record provides no detailed grounds for Wang Guoying's listing . No reference to an associated OFAC press release is reproduced there . The extract also contains no information on a legal authority, separate designation date or description of the facts attributed to the named individual .
