China Imposes Unspecified Sanctions on 11 Americans in Retaliation, Including Several US Senators and Heads of Human Rights Organizations
US recently announced sanctions on 11 Chinese and Hong Kong officials, including Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR Carrie LAM, Secretary of Justice Teresa CHENG, Commissioner of Hong Kong Police Force Chris TANG and Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Hong Kong LUO Huining.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian announced on 10th August that China is imposing sanctions on 11 Americans who “behaved badly” on Hong Kong-related issues. The sanctions list included Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, as well as several heads of human rights organisations.
At a regular press conference on 10th August, Zhao criticised the US State Department and Treasury Department for announcing sanctions on 11 officials from the Chinese Central Government and Hong Kong SAR government on the grounds of so-called undermining Hong Kong’s autonomy, stating that such US actions were openly meddling with Hong Kong affairs, blatantly interfering in China’s internal affairs, and gravely violating international law and basic norms in international relations, “China firmly opposes and strongly condemns such move.”
In response to the erroneous move by the US, Zhao announced that China has decided to impose sanctions on the following individuals for their egregious behaviours on Hong Kong-related issues, including US Senators Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and Pat Toomey, Congressman Chris Smith, as well as President of the National Endowment for Democracy Carl Gershman, President of the National Democratic Institute Derek Mitchell, President of the International Republican Institute Daniel Twining, Executive Director of Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth, and President of Freedom House Michael J. Abramowitz.

US Terminates HKETO to Get Rid of China's Propaganda in the US
With the implementation of #NationalSecueityLaw (#NSL) in 2020, the US has announced that they no longer recognise Hong Kong's autonomy; One-Country-Two-Systems is also dead.
On 15 Dec, Republican Senator Marco Rubio and Representative Chris Smith requested the US to re-assess the privilege and status of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (#HKETO) under the HKETO Certification Acts. They believe HKETO has become Hong Kong's propaganda and urge the US to completely remove them from the country.
Chris Smith described that China's dictator, #XiJinping, suppressed civil and political rights in Hong Kong with NSL, destroying the #BasicLaw and #SinoBritishJointDeclaration. He pointed out that the #USCongress had once published Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act in 2020 to decline Hong Kong's autonomy. Therefore, US Law should reflect the fact. At the moment, HKETO is only China's propaganda with no reason for its existence inside the US border.
The HKETO Certificate Act requests the US President to prove whether their Offices can continue having the current privilege within 30 days after it has been passed. If the President opposes their existence, the government must revoke the offices' benefits, and they must cease operation in 6 months. Even if the President agrees on the privilege, Congress can still disapprove.
Executive Director of Hong Kong Democracy Council (#HKDC), Anna Kwok, mentioned the 3 locations of the HKETO offices in the US in Washington, New York and San Francisco on her Facebook Page. HKDC and other HongKonger organisations in the US found out the HKETO promoting "Hong Kong is back" earlier. They present a false picture of peace and prosperity, claiming Hong Kong as a free and democratic place.
