US, Canadian individuals, entity banned
Print Edition
CHINA on Saturday announced sanctions on relevant US and Canadian individuals and entity, citing the two countries’ recent moves of imposing unilateral, disinformation-based sanctions on relevant individuals and entity in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region.
The United States and Canada imposed unilateral sanctions on relevant individuals and entity in Xinjiang on March 22 based on rumors and disinformation.
In response, the Chinese side decides to sanction Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Gayle Manchin, Vice Chair of the USCIRF Tony Perkins, Member of Parliament of Canada Michael Chong, and the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development of the House of Commons of Canada.
“The individuals concerned are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau of China, and Chinese citizens and institutions are prohibited from doing business with the relevant individuals and having exchanges with the relevant entity,” said the announcement.
In the meantime, China’s previous sanctions on US individuals who have seriously undermined China’s sovereignty and interests on Xinjiang-related issues remain effective.
The Chinese government is firmly determined to safeguard its national sovereignty, security and development interests, and urges the relevant parties to clearly understand the situation and redress their mistakes.
“They must stop political manipulation on Xinjiang-related issues, stop interfering in China’s internal affairs in any form and refrain from going further down the wrong path. Otherwise, they will get their fingers burnt,” said the announcement.
On Friday, China announced sanctions on nine British individuals and four entities, including lawmakers such as former Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith, and the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission, that “maliciously spread lies and disinformation.”
“The individuals concerned and their immediate family members are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau of China. Their property in China will be frozen, and Chinese citizens and institutions will be prohibited from doing business with them,” the statement said.
