The United States on Dec. 7 imposed sanctions on 14 Chinese officials over their role in curtailing freedoms in Hong Kong, the latest response by the Trump administration to Beijing’s widening crackdown on the city since it imposed a draconian national security law earlier this year.
According to the U.S. Treasury website, the sanctioned Chinese officials are members of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, which oversees the Chinese regime’s rubber-stamp legislature.
