July 17, 2021 01:26:04 pm The US Department of Treasury imposed Friday sanctions on seven Chinese government officials over the crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong. The seven individuals added to Treasury’s “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List” list were Chen Dong, He Jing, Lu Xinning, Qiu Hong, Tan Tienui, Yang Jianping, and Yin Zonghua. All of these individuals were deputy directors at China’s Hong Kong liaison office. Secretary of State Antony Blinken remarked that China has “has chipped away at Hong Kong’s reputation of accountable, transparent governance and respect for individual freedoms, and has broken its promise to leave Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy unchanged for 50 years.” Secretary Blinken further stated that Chinese officials have “systematically undermined Hong Kong’s democratic institutions, delayed elections, disqualified elected lawmakers from office, and forced officials to take loyalty oaths to keep their jobs” ove
