Chinese officials linked to Hong Kong arrests escape UK sanctions Patrick Wintour Diplomatic editor © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Tobias Schwarz/AFP/Getty Images The UK Foreign Office has caused dismay among critics of China after announcing new travel bans and asset freezes against 11 human rights abusers in four countries but not imposing sanctions – like the US – against Chinese officials. Nathan Law, a Hong Kong pro-democracy activist, who left the territory for the UK in July after a sweeping national security law was passed, said he was disappointed. “It cannot be about a lack of evidence,” he said. “This is a political decision. I really think this is about this UK hedging strategy and I hope it will come to an end. There is nothing to expect from China and there is no fantasy to be had about the Chinese communist party.”
