In reaction to recent US sanctions on Chinese officials in hong kong, china has imposed restrictions on several US people and organizations. Wilbur Ross, the former US Commerce Secretary, is among those who have been attacked. The counter-sanctions came only days before Wendy Sherman, the US Deputy Secretary of State is scheduled to visit China.


The united states has sanctioned Chinese officials in hong kong for their participation in the territory's security crackdown. The US has issued a warning to its business community about the rising hazards of doing business in Hong Kong. Last year, in reaction to enormous pro-democracy rallies, china passed the National Security Law. Secession, subversion, and cooperation with foreign forces are all prohibited.

The current US penalties, according to China's foreign ministry, were meant to "groundlessly tarnish Hong Kong's economic climate" and violate international law. It announced it will penalize seven US people and businesses, including Wilbur Ross, President Donald Trump's former commerce secretary. china has been accused by the US State Department of attempting to undermine Hong Kong's sovereignty by placing commercial restrictions on the territory.

The US is "undeterred" by China's reprisal against four human rights advocates who were sanctioned by beijing for criticising the government, according to the White House. Sophie Richardson, the china director of Human Rights Watch; Carolyn Bartholomew, the head of the US-China Economic and Security review Commission; and Adam king of the international Republican Institute are among them.
