The US Treasury Department yesterday (7th) announced sanctions against 11 Hong Kong and Mainland officials, including Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, Secretary of Justice Zheng Ruohua, and Director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee Luo Huining. The Director of the Bureau of Commerce and Economic Development Qiu Tenghua pointed out that this just shows that the United States is unreasonable, double standards and brutal behavior.
Because Hong Kong enacted the "Hong Kong National Security Act" and the United States has to sanction relevant officials, he pointed out that the United States also has laws to protect its own national interests. If it will be sanctioned by other countries as a result, he questioned the impact of this rule on international relations. He sees no reason to convince Hong Kong, the Mainland and other countries that this method is reasonable. He criticized this move as a crude intervention in the affairs of other countries or places.
He believes that asset sanctions against individuals are brutal. No matter what impact it has on individuals, the methods are indeed one-way, and it is uncivilized to disclose the personal information of officials. He believes that the United States keeps saying that in order to protect the interests of Hong Kong people, it cannot see the reason for the sanctions.
