BEIJING (HRNW) – China on Monday sanctioned 11 Americans, including senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, in retaliation for similar US moves prompted by Beijing’s crackdown in Hong Kong.
Washington last week accused 11 officials of suppressing “freedom and democratic processes” in Hong Kong, including city leader Carrie Lam, and announced plans to freeze their US assets.
It was the toughest US action yet in response to Beijing’s introduction of a sweeping and controversial new national security law for the territory.
Beijing said the measure was a violation of international law and “grossly interferes in China’s internal affairs”.
