CCP Official in Hong Kong Responds to U.S. Sanction: I don’t have any assets in the U.S.
The Treasury of the United States announced the sanction of 7 Hong Kong and 4 Chinese officials, including PRC's Hong Kong Liaison Office Head Luo Huining, Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office Director Xiao Baolong, Vice Director Zhang Xiaoming, and Office for Safeguarding National Security Director Zheng Yanxiong.
Chinese official Luo stated that the fact that he was sanctioned “proves he did the right thing for the country and Hong Kong.” He also pointed out that he did not own any assets in the US, so the sanction was “a waste of effort”. He added, “Of course, I can send $100 to Mr. Trump so that he can freeze it.”
The Liaison Office issued a statement to "strongly oppose and condemn" the sanction. The spokesperson stated that they were "not scared of any barbaric behaviour" and if the US thought the so-called sanction can make China compromise, they have “forgotten the times, made wrong plans, and wasted their efforts.”
It was also reiterated that the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong aimed to fill the loopholes in the existing laws, however, foreign politicians have been anxious since the implementation. The Office for Safeguarding National Security criticised the US for violating the basic principles of international laws and for sanctioning officers on the ridiculous bases of “limiting the political freedom in Hong Kong”. It was suggested that these US politicians showed their intention of supporting rioters, and they were just like “clowns”.
