The U.S. Treasury Department announced yesterday (7th) that 11 Chinese and Hong Kong officials including Chief Executive Carrie Lam will be sanctioned. All private property and interests of the sanctioned persons in the U.S. must be reported to the Foreign Assets Control Office of the Treasury Department. Unless the office issues an exemption, Americans are prohibited from processing the asset transactions of the aforementioned sanctioned persons in the United States. It is prohibited to provide or receive services, funds or commodities to the sanctioned persons and their interests. In short, it prohibits Americans and companies from having any money, services, and products dealings with the assets, companies, or individuals of the sanctioned persons in the United States.

The DAB Legislative Council Member Zhou Haoding and Deputy Secretary-General Yan Wenyu petitioned the US Consulate today (8th) and strongly condemned the US government's sanctions against 11 officials in China and Hong Kong, but the US Consulate did not send anyone to accept the petition letter. Zhou Haoding described the actions of the US as "outrageous, unreasonable, abhorrent and shameful." He also believed that the central government and the SAR government would study any necessary countermeasures and reiterated that the US has many economic and trade exchanges with Hong Kong, and that US sanctions would ultimately harm their own interests.

When asked if he would be worried about his wife working in The New York Times, Zhou Haoding said that his wife was engaged in advertising sales and believed that "wife’s business is his wife’s business", but frankly said that the US sanctions may affect business operations Have an impact.

Zhou Haoding pointed out that the US authorities recently banned TikTok's operations and suppressed Huawei, which proved that the US has used all means to suppress China in the extreme and has entered into a state of "destroy." He also said that the United States itself also values ​​national security, but now it discredited the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law and even found excuses for sanctions, which highlights the hypocrisy and double standards of the United States. Zhou Haoding reiterated that the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law was formulated to protect the safety of the country and citizens. It described it as "righteous and righteous." I believe that the central government and SAR officials have no fear of suppressing it, and that they have no assets in the United States and are not worried about sanctions.

Yan Wenyu, Deputy Secretary-General of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of China, said that the US government has repeatedly intervened in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs, using different excuses to propose Great Americanism and American Priority, saying that this is not the behavior and morality of a world power. . Yan Wenyu also believes that the US sanctions are boring and irrational, and will ultimately harm American interests.
