The United States continues to restrict the visa for certain Chinese officials
We are talking about the introduction of visa restrictions for Chinese officials who “participated in malicious actions to persuade those who oppose Beijing’s policies to cooperate and coerce them.”
The US authorities have imposed visa restrictions on several Chinese officials, including members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), in connection with Washington’s alleged “coercive activities.” This is stated in the statement from the Secretary of State of the United States, Michael Pompeo, released on Friday, December 4.
“Today, using my powers under the Citizenship and Immigration Law, I impose visa restrictions on officials of the People’s Republic of China and the CCP and people actively involved in the activities of the United Front (CCP Central Committee), who appealed or threatened physical violence, kidnapping and disclosure of confidential information, espionage, sabotage, or malicious interference in internal political affairs, academic freedom, personal life, or business activities. These malicious actions were aimed at coercing and coercing local leaders, overseas Chinese communities, academia, and others. Civil society groups in the United States and elsewhere support the authoritarian narrative and political preferences of the CCP, “Pompeo said.
We are talking about the introduction of visa restrictions for Chinese officials who “participated in malicious acts to persuade those who oppose Beijing’s policies to cooperate and coerce,” Pompeo explained on Twitter.
In a written statement, he added that he “will continue to impose these types of visa restrictions to make clear that those responsible for actions contrary to the rules-based international order are not welcome” in the United States.
“The United States calls on the People’s Republic of China to stop using coercive and intimidating tactics to suppress freedom of expression,” Pompeo said.
According to him, the department of the United Front (CPC Central Committee) “finances and supports foreign organizations that are engaged in the dissemination of propaganda, coercion and intimidation of those who oppose Beijing’s policies.”
Earlier, US intelligence services said that China is looking for ways to gain access to Joe Biden’s administration. Now counterintelligence agents are conducting explanatory work among potential employees of the future US president’s administration.
