US State Council implements visa restriction on Chinese Officials for suppressing the Dissident

Mike Pompeo, US Secretary of State, announced on Friday (4th December) local time on the imposition of visa restriction on Chinese Officials in overseas united front activities and suppressing dissent in a statement. However, the statement did not include a list of sanctioned persons.

It stated that the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China subsidizes overseas organizations to propagate, coerce and bully people who oppose Beijing’s policies. It also stated that CCP regularly intimidates academics, business, civic groups, and Chinese diaspora groups, including Xinjiang, Tibet and other minorities, which have been seriously violated their human rights, with the intention to promote its Marxist-Leninist ideology and expand its influence.

Pompeo announced in the statement that the sanction would apply to Chinese and CCP officials who have threatened to use violence, steal, and release personal data to exert pressure, espionage, malicious interference on other countries’ political affairs, academic freedom, personal privacy, or business activities.

The statement also criticized that, CCP ropes in and intimidates the officials of the US and other places, overseas Chinese, academia, and civil society groups, to support its authoritarian speech and policy. Pompeo emphasized that US would continue the visa restriction policy, to clearly show the US does not welcome those people who violate international order. He urged the Chinese government to stop using coercive and intimidating acts to suppress the speech of freedom.
