China opposes sanctions by Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region executives Sanctions exchange in the US August 3 20:13
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China counteracted that the Trump administration of the United States announced that it would impose sanctions on the organization responsible for the development and security of the autonomous region and its executives, allegedly involved in serious human rights violations in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. The government has shown a willingness to take measures, and sanctions are being exchanged between the United States and China.
The U.S. Trump administration in the U.S.A. said that it was involved in serious human rights violations, including the detention of many Uighurs in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on the 31st of last month. Announced that it will impose sanctions such as freezing of assets in the United States and restrictions on travel to the United States.
In response to this, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Wu Wen-fu said in a press conference yesterday, saying, "American actions will seriously interfere with China's domestic affairs, and will strongly oppose and strongly condemn them."
He added, "I urge the United States to withdraw wrong decisions immediately. If the United States does whatever it wants, it will fight back," he said.
Last month, the Trump administration imposed similar sanctions on the top four of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, while China launched a counter-measure to impose the same sanctions on four U.S. hard-line senators in the United States. However, sanctions continue to be exchanged between the United States and China over the Uighur issue.
