The United States will bar entry to Chinese executives, navy officials, and others involved in Beijing’s military aggression in the disputed South China Sea region, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Jan. 14.

The move is the latest in a flurry of actions taken in the final days of President Donald Trump’s term to target the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) transgressions around the world.
