U.S. sanctions Chinese officials and Hong Kong leaders over crackdown

LA Times  

The U.S. is placing sanctions on 11 Chinese officials and their allies in Hong Kong, including Chief Executive Carrie Lam, over their role in curtailing political freedoms in the former U.K. colony, the Treasury Department said Friday. The sanctioned individuals include Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of China’s State Council, and Chris Tang, commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force. The sanctions are being carried out under the “President’s Executive Order on Hong Kong Normalization,” which President Trump signed last month to punish China for its moves against dissent in Hong Kong. Trump has been threatening to take action ever since Chinese officials imposed a sweeping national security law on Hong Kong over the last two months.
