The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on 11 Chinese and Hong Kong officials on August 7:

Chief Executive Carrie Lam

Chen Guoji, Director of the Chief Executive's Office and Secretary-General of the National Security Committee

Secretary of Justice Zheng Ruohua

Secretary for Security Li Jiachao

Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Zeng Guowei

Director of Police Deng Pingqiang

Former Commissioner of Police

Luo Huining, Director of the Liaison Office

Director of Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office Xia Baolong

Zhang Xiaoming, Deputy Director of Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office

Director of the National Security Administration Zheng Yanxiong

The news of the sanctions came to light at about 10 o'clock last night and immediately became a topic of concern to all citizens in Hong Kong. According to Google Trends data, the search volume of the names of the 11 sanctioned Chinese and Hong Kong officials all rose sharply at about 10:30 to 10:48. At the peak, Li Jiachao, the one with the least increase, has a search interest rate of nearly 10%. As for the hottest king, it is not the most well-known Chief Executive Carrie Lam or the director of his team. Instead, Chen Guoji, the former Director of the Immigration Department, the current Chief Executive Officer and Secretary-General of the National Security Commission, "upset" and ran out.

Internet search interest of 11 sanctioned Chinese and Hong Kong officials: (names are sorted by the highest peak hour data)

Chen Guoji’s search popularity reached 100 points at 10:48 last night, surpassing Carrie Lam, who had a search popularity of 78 points, to become the top searcher; third was the Political and Mainland Affairs Bureau, which received 68 points. Director Zeng Guowei, the ranking results are surprising. From the search data, it can be seen that the search rate of the four sanctioned mainland officials is low. Even if the director of the National Security Administration, Zheng Yanxiong, has the highest search volume, his search popularity is less than 40 points.

From the analysis of the search volume, it is believed that netizens know less about Chen Guoji, so they are more curious about him, and his job involves national security work, so netizens are attracted to search for his information. On the other hand, netizens are significantly less concerned about the sanctions against mainland officials than Hong Kong officials.
