In a surprising move, China has announced sanctions against 11 U.S. politicians and heads of organizations promoting democratic causes. The unspecified sanctions are a reaction to the politicians and organizations that Beijing believes have been “performing badly,” regarding China’s relationship with Hong Kong. Among the lawmakers targeted were two high-profile Republicans — Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian, said the 11 had performed badly on issues concerning Hong Kong. China has recently cracked down on growing anti-government protests in Hong Kong.
The number of Americans named by the ministry exactly equals the number of Hong Kong and Chinese officials placed on a sanctions list by the U.S. last week over the crackdown.
China thumbed its nose at such efforts by arresting leading independent media tycoon Jimmy Lai and raiding the publisher’s headquarters.
“The relevant actions of the U.S. blatantly intervened in Hong Kong affairs, grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs, and seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations,” Zhao Lijian said at a recent daily briefing.
“China urges the U.S. to have a clear understanding of the situation, correct mistakes, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and interfering in China’s internal affairs,” he added.
In addition to Rubio and Cruz, four other lawmakers were named by the foreign ministry: Senators Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and Pat Toomey and Representative Chris Smith.
Beijing already placed a travel ban on Rubio, Cruz and Smith last month after Washington announced similar measures against Chinese officials linked to measures taken against Muslims in the northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang.
The most recent action by Beijing is the latest in escalating tensions between the two countries and a back-and-forth in sanctions. In response to the announced sanctions, Senator Rubio tweeted, “Last month #China banned me. Today they sanctioned me. I don’t want to be paranoid but I am starting to think they don’t like me.”
This all comes as the Chinese government imposed a new “National Security Law” on Hong Kong. The law, imposed on the city criminalizes “secession, subversion, terrorism, and collusion with foreign forces.” President Donald Trump blasted Beijing for the law, and revoked Hong Kong’s special status on trade in May. Other US senators and leaders, like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, expressed criticism and outrage after the law passed.
What do you think? Should the US support Hong Kong’s efforts to getting out from Communist China’s rule? Please reply using the comments below.

Why is it that the ult right sites like this choose to post these items without the full story or any context. One reason only is to excite and inflame ultra right followers as they do not have the deductive power to ascertain or actually dig to get the real reason for this event. You are only making a problem for yourself because it really isn’t hard for even semi intelligent citizens to realize they were duped or intentionally misled. Actually there are too many intelligent people to let you gat away with this even though you have a “stable genius” in your ranks. Total oxymoron to the fact which is a vaccine for your perfidious statements.
Mayor de Blowjob is a dumbass cocksucker with shit for brains. The KKK is coming for his sorry ass. He will go down hard. Woohoo!!!
Hey, Billy boy, we should nuke China and The Middle East. Get rid of those slant-eyed chinks and ragheads.
Yes the United States Should help Hong Kong be free from China Rule any way it can. Also the United States should keep the pressure on China over traid deals and CHINA has some absured thinking that they have the right to turn coral reefs into milatary Bases in the South China Sea compleatly dismissing the right to free and open water ways Under the freedom of Navigation.
I think we should continue to help free anyone or country that wants to be free ….
Let’s start WORLD WARc III.
The world needs to change and get rid of its overwhelming population and start all over again with those who will survive NUCLEAR war disasters.
I believe that any country has to or want to empose their own laws. Let them do it. Would you want China to tell us what laws we should or should not impose?

Of course the United States should NOT interfere in any of China’s affairs. Hong Kong belongs to China…NOT the U.S. How would America like it if China were trying to assist the native Hawaiians in withdrawing Hawaii from the U.S. America seems to be the only country on Earth that feels it has the inherent right to interfere in other nations affairs. What other countries do within their borders is none of the U.S.’s business in any way shape or form. If we are not careful we will one day find that China and or Russia are planning on regime change in America and I don’t mean any of the nonsense spouted by the Democratic party. America is not as strong as it makes out …… its currency is failing, it is TWENTY SIX TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT, it’s military strategy is based around aircraft carriers that are now vulnerable, it is fairing poorly against COVID19, cities are being burned and looted. It is no time to start picking a fight with Russia or China and yet some politicians can’t seem to get the message.
This is outrageous of China if it’s even true? This changes nothing , just wait until the Republicans unload all the dirt on Hillary, Obummer and Joe!!!!

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
