On December 10, Communist Party of China Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying stated at a regular press conference that China had decided to deal with US administration officials, congressional officials, non-governmental organizations and individuals who they were primarily responsible for their poor performance on Hong Kong-related issues. Members of your immediate family are subject to so-called “reciprocal penalties.” At the same time, visa-free treatment for temporary visits to Hong Kong and Macao by US diplomatic passport holders will be canceled.
A few days ago, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on 14 vice presidents of the National People’s Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in response to the CCP’s earlier disqualification of four lawmakers in Hong Kong.
The United States detailed the list of 14 state-level deputy officials of the Communist Party of China who were sanctioned, including Cai Dafeng, Cao Jianming, Chen Zhu, Bai Ma Chilin, Ding Zhongli, Hao Mingjin, Ai Ligen Yiming Bahai, Ji Bingxuan , Shen Yueyue, Wan E Xiang, Wang Chen, Wang Dongming, Wu Weihua, Zhang Chunxian.
However, China only verbally claimed that it was imposing so-called “reciprocal sanctions” on the United States, but did not include a specific list of sanctions, nor did it mention that it would freeze the assets of those sanctioned in China.
Netizens ridiculed the CCP’s so-called sanctions, which are simply “emptying the barrel” and following the formality: “Fart, we must freeze its assets in China.”
Netizens on the wall suggested that the countermeasures should be reciprocal: freeze the assets of Biden’s son.
“It’s just a great ad, let Little Pink use it for himself.”
“It is worth mentioning that the capital in China is frozen. All outstanding shares in China, such as Robert, Auntie, Fan will be frozen.”
“Is it necessary? Why are you angry that only 14 people have been sanctioned? Compared to 1.4 billion Chinese, there is no sanction.”
“I hope the American side will come soon and cancel the visa for Chinese diplomats to the United States! This will be fun!”
In August this year, the United States announced sanctions against 11 senior Chinese and Hong Kong officials, including Hong Kong CEO Carrie Lam. China has introduced countermeasures to sanction US senators Rubio, Cruz, Holly, Cotton, Tumi, Rep. Smith, and the heads of many non-governmental organizations.
Observers say the aforementioned congressmen are hardliners in the US Congress against the CCP, but none of them are members of the Trump administration. The alleged CCP sanctions are ridiculous.
US Senator Rubio has been included on the CCP’s sanctions list twice. He replied, “Last month, China (the CCP) banned me (from entering). Today they sanctioned me. I don’t want to be too paranoid, but I started to think that they are not like me.”
Rubio is proud to be sanctioned by the CCP. In an interview with Fox in July, he said: “I have no intention of going to China in the near future. I do not expect to get the red carpet rolled out for me. In fact, I am very proud. A totalitarian or evil regime at any time.” Against you, it means you’re right. “
The Trump administration’s sanctions against CCP officials escalated step by step. On December 7, US sanctions were elevated to the CCP’s high-level center circle for undermining Hong Kong’s autonomy from the CCP, and 14 deputy officials were sanctioned at the state level. The United States prohibits them and their immediate family members from entering the United States, freezes their assets in the United States, and prohibits financial and property transactions.
The “precise blow” of the United States against 14 vice presidents provoked great applause from Internet users. Current affairs commentator Qin Peng joked on Twitter: “Who said this sanction was not used? 14 senior officials came across this. I hate Xi Jinping – is it easy to save so many dollars for children, grandchildren and wives to come to U.S? “
Indeed, Zhongnanhai responded fiercely to the US sanctions, calling three “serious” and three “strong” at once.
In response to the new list of sanctions, Vice Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang summoned Charge d’Affaires of the United States Embassy in China, Fu Deen, accusing the United States of violating the so-called three “grave”, namely , “serious violation of the basic norms of international relations” and “serious interference in China’s internal affairs.” “And” seriously undermined China-US relations, “and declared that China would counter.
Hua Chunying also repeated three “serious” and three “strong” at the press conference. Netizens scoffed that the CCP would only make a mouthful of speeches and could not propose concrete countermeasures.
