This time, the US has included the 14 vice-presidents of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China (Non-In University), who are the vice-presidents of the Korean National Assembly, on the sanctions list. The Defense Authorization Act of fiscal year 2021 boosted Huawei’s checks and the “ Pacific Deterrence Awards, ” followed by the expansion of the sanctions network. Three days ago, China was encouraged by limiting the issuance of US visas by Chinese Communist Party officials. Donald Trump’s administration will not stop its offensive against China until the end of his term, making it difficult for the conflict between the United States and China to subside for now.
In a statement posted on the website on the 7th (local time), the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury announced the sanctions of the thirteenth vice chairman of the NPC’s trade committee, including Wang Chun, Chao Zhen-ming, and Chang Chun-sen. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also said in a statement that “these individuals and immediate family members are prohibited from visiting the United States and their assets in the United States are frozen” and “trade with Americans is generally prohibited.”
The apparent reason for the US sanctions is that the Trade Committee played a key role in clamping down on democratization in Hong Kong, including enacting the National Security Act and disqualifying lawmakers from the opposition. On the 11th of last month, the Trade Committee gave the Hong Kong government the power to deprive the Hong Kong government of parliamentary offices when it adopted a resolution on the requirements of the Hong Kong legislative assembly on the 11th of last month. Secretary Pompeo said: “The Trade Committee unanimously adopted the Hong Kong National Security Law, which has been mobilized to help China oppress dissidents and arrest those who protest against China’s repressive policy.” China will be responsible for the damages. ” However, the ultimate intention of the United States is that China, which is rapidly emerging as the G2 (two major countries), cannot be left alone.

The United States also began to shake China with North Korea as a ring. The Wall Street Journal reported that China is not stopping the illegal coal trade with North Korea according to satellite imagery analysis provided by the State Department. While North Korea exported 4.1 million tons of coal to China in September, the UN Security Council sanctions resolution was ignored and the intent was China’s willful violation of the sanctions, which opened the back door to North Korea. White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien said in an interview with Harry Kazianis, director of the National Interest Research Institute of the US think tank, Korea, “They (China) want to participate in and lead multilateral organizations. . There is, ”he said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed “ mutual respect ” and “ cooperative joint prosperity ” in a phone call to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden on 25 last month. However, the Trump administration, which has created a New Cold War atmosphere by beating China for the past four years, has not stopped pushing China to the end, and the prospects for US-China relations after 2021 are not bright.
