US slaps sanctions on more Hong Kong officials over crackdown on activists
The US has slapped new sanctions on Hong Kong officials over the crackdown on pro-democracy movement and moved towards welcoming the city’s residents.
This comes amid bipartisan outrage by US political heavyweights over China’s treatment of activists there after a new Beijing-drafted draconian law was imposed. The government froze American assets and barred the entry of 14 HK lawmakers in the US.
