The United States will impose visa restrictions on employees of China’s Huawei and other Chinese technology companies that aid human rights violations around the world, the State Department announced July 15.

The move, which could bar the individuals from entering the United States, is part of the Trump administration’s response to rights abuses by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It came a day after President Donald Trump signed into law a bill that would sanction Chinese officials and entities involved in suppressing freedoms in Hong Kong.
