The Hong Kong police took a thunderous action on the 6th, arresting 53 opposition leaders involved in the organizers and participants of last year's Pan People's "primary election". On the 7th, they went to prison to arrest Huang Zhifeng, the former Secretary General of "Hong Kong Zhongzhi", who was serving his sentence. Pompeo, the US Secretary of State, said on the 7th that he would "not stand idly by" and threatened to "consider imposing sanctions and other restrictions on some people".
[Global Network reporter Guo Xiaopeng] The US Treasury Department announced a new round of "Hong Kong related sanctions list" on the 15th local time. According to Hong Kong Eastnet, the US Treasury Department will impose so-called "sanctions" on six officials from the mainland and Hong Kong for the arrest of 55 Hong Kong opposition figures by the Hong Kong police this month.
According to the report, according to the regulations of the US Treasury Department, the assets of the sanctioned person and any entity owned by them in the US will be frozen. At the same time, American enterprises or individuals, as well as any enterprises that have business operations in the United States or have transactions with the United States, are prohibited from conducting transactions or providing services with sanctioned persons.
According to the previous report, the Hong Kong police took a thunderous action on the 6th to detain the organizers and participants involved in last year's Pan People's "primary election". They arrested 53 opposition leaders at one fell swoop, of whom 6 were suspected of organizing and planning, and the rest 47 were suspected of participating. This is the largest arrest since the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law. In addition, the Hong Kong police went to prison on the 7th to arrest Huang Zhifeng, the former Secretary General of "Hong Kong Zhongzhi", who was serving his sentence. On the other hand, US Secretary of State Pompeo said on the 7th that he would "not stand idly by" and threatened to "consider imposing sanctions and other restrictions on some people".
Earlier, in response to relevant issues, Hua Chunying, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, said at a press conference on the 7th that we firmly support the relevant departments in Hong Kong to crack down on illegal and criminal acts in accordance with the law. We firmly oppose any country, organization or individual interfering in Hong Kong's affairs and the rule of law in Hong Kong in any way. In recent years, a small number of anti China politicians in the Trump administration have constantly staged "the last madness", deliberately destroying Sino US relations and serving their personal political interests by unscrupulous means using the remaining term of office. Such tactics go against the trend of history and go against the friendly public opinion of the two peoples, and will surely be punished by history.
