DHARAMSHALA, Dec. 10: The US State Department announced sanctions on Monday against 14 members of China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) responsible for the resolution that expelled four opposition legislators for supporting Hong Kong independence and undermining Beijing’s sovereignty. The 13 men and one woman are all vice chairpersons of the NPC’s standing committee who have now been sanctioned with asset-freezes and are banned for travel to the US.
“These actions demonstrate once again Beijing’s complete disregard for its international commitments under the Sino-British Joint Declaration, a U.N.-registered treaty,” remarked US State Secretary Mike Pompeo. Chinese Foreign Minister Hua Chunying has denounced the move as “hysterical political bullying” on Tuesday and vowed to respond with “vigorous countermeasures”.

HONG KONG A spokesman for the government of China s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) said Thursday that the HKSAR government strongly deplored and objected to the meeting between a cabinet minister of Britain and anti-government people from Hong Kong, where the regional flag of the HKSAR was deliberately shown despite that the people have no official capacity.
This is clearly yet another provocative act of the British government following the recent release of the Six-monthly Report on Hong Kong, in which the HKSAR was maliciously maligned. The comments on the Sino-British Joint Declaration and Hong Kong British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) passport holders also breached international obligations, the spokesman said.
