Beijing (HRNW) China on Friday announced sanctions against individuals and entities in the United Kingdom, over what it called “lies and disinformation” about Xinjiang.
Beijing’s move comes in retaliation to the sanctions imposed by the UK — along with the United States, European Union, and Canada — for “industrial-scale” human rights abuses against the Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang.
“The Chinese side decides to sanction the following nine individuals and four entities on the UK side that maliciously spread lies and disinformation,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
