The trade war between America and China continues. Both countries are imposing heavy tariffs on each other. Its direct impact is being seen on the global market. Meanwhile, China has made a big announcement.
In fact, China’s Foreign Ministry has announced that China will impose sanctions on those American officials, lawmakers and leaders of non-governmental organizations, whom it says have performed poorly on Hong Kong issues.
Let us inform you that in March this year, the US had imposed sanctions on six Chinese and Hong Kong officials who were accused of being involved in international repression and in actions that were further damaging the autonomy of the city.
The officials who were sanctioned included Justice Secretary Paul Lam, Security Office Director Dong Jingwei and former Police Commissioner Raymond Siu. Now in retaliation against the US, China said that we strongly condemn these acts.
The Chinese Foreign Minister said in a statement that the US has seriously interfered in Hong Kong’s affairs and violated the principles of international law. He said China has decided to impose sanctions on officials and NGO leaders who have performed poorly on Hong Kong-related issues.
