U.S. senators will reintroduce bipartisan legislation on May 23 that would sanction Chinese individuals and entities involved in Beijing’s activities in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.
The South China Sea and East China Sea Sanctions Bill, sponsored by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.), is aimed to punish the Chinese regime for its “illegitimate” actions to claim territorial rights in the waters off the country’s coastline, the South China Morning Post reported.
