Last update date: 2020-08-08 21:28The U.S. Treasury Department announced yesterday (7th) that 11 Chinese and Hong Kong officials including Chief Executive Carrie Lam will be sanctioned. Unless the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury issues an exemption, Americans and companies cannot share assets, companies or individuals in the U.S. with sanctioned persons. Any exchange of money, services and products.
Nie Dequan, the head of the Civil Service Bureau, who was not included in the United States' 11-person sanctions list, also posted a response on social media today (8th). Nie Dequan criticized the U.S. sanctions as "barbarous and unreasonable." He believes that the U.S. criticism of the SAR government and the Hong Kong police in handling social movements is different from the attitude of the U.S. federal government in handling riots in different parts of the country. It is a double standard. Nie Dequan lamented that some Hong Kong people "raised the flag and shouted for the sanctions against the United States, like a treasure", questioning "except for a moment of excitement, what good is it for me and Hong Kong?"

Nie Dequan pointed out that the United States has long established national security laws and enforcement systems. At present, the central government has established a set of laws and enforcement mechanisms to maintain national security through legislation at the national level. He questioned "what's wrong?" And the U.S. authorities have disclosed the personal privacy of central and SAR officials. Hidden information, but the U.S. government has always spared no effort in criticizing other countries for violating human rights and privacy, and questioning the U.S. double standards. He believes that the United States is trying to curb China's development in an all-round way, saying that Hong Kong, as a special administrative region of China, cannot stand alone.
Nie Dequan said that he has good friends in the United States and the mainland, saying that he hopes that the U.S. government's brutal and unreasonable actions and big-power game will not affect the deep-rooted non-governmental exchanges between the two places. He reiterated that for the people of Hong Kong, the most important thing is the prosperity of the country, the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and the people living and working in peace and contentment. He will continue to "do what should be done" in his position based on rationality and fairness.
