The US Listed Six more Chinese Media Companies as Foreign Missions,
Hu Xijin: China may Retaliate Against US Media in HK

The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Wednesday (October 21) that the State Department listed another six Chinese media companies in the US as foreign missions, estimated to make the US-China relations worsen. The Global Times editor Hu Xijin criticized that "the US has gone too far" and warned that "China must retaliate, and may implicate the US media companies in Hong Kong".

It was at least the fifth time to list Chinese organizations and media as foreign missions in six months. The Chinese media included the Yicai Global, Jiefang Daily, the Xinmin Evening News, Social Sciences in China Press, the Beijing Review, and the Economic Daily.

According to the Foreign Missions Act, foreign missions must obtain approval from the US for the list of declared personnel and their salary information, their assets owned or leased in the US, and the purchase or lease of any property.

#US #StateDepartment Demands Hong Kong Government to Drop #PoliticalPersecution on Pro-democracy Civilians

On Jan 19, 2021, Morgan Ortagus, the spokeperson of the State Department of the United States vocally condemned the January-14 arrest of 11 Hongkongers who were accused by the Hong Kong police of aiding 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers to flee the city.

The US State Department demanded all charges to be "immediately dropped" and reiterates that the latest sanctions announced by the US government are "a direct response to Beijing’s evisceration of Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms".
