Sanctions for officials involved in the National Security Act of Hong Kong Approved in the US Senate June 26, 16:45
In response to China's proceeding with the debate on the "Hong Kong National Security Bill," which cracks down on anti-governmental moves in Hong Kong, the US Senate has enacted a bill that imposes sanctions on officials involved in legislation. It was passed unanimously.
China is in the process of deliberating on the “Hong Kong National Security Maintenance Bill” to crack down on anti-governmental moves in Hong Kong, and there is growing concern that the international community will impair Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy if enacted. I will.
Under these circumstances, the US Senate unanimously passed the “Hong Kong Autonomy Bill” on the 25th. If China violates a joint statement with the United Kingdom that recognizes Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy in returning Hong Kong, it will identify the officials involved and the financial institution with which that person is involved, and freeze the assets and It is trying to impose sanctions such as prohibiting transactions with American financial institutions.
Proposed lawmakers said they would be subject to sanctions by police and Chinese government officials to curb protests, and in a statement released yesterday: ``The Chinese government is trying to suppress the freedom of Hong Kong. I strongly urge you to give up. If you do not stop, you will pay the price," he urged China not to introduce the Hong Kong National Security Act.
In the future, a similar bill will be passed in the House of Representatives, and if it will be signed by President Trump after coordination between the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives, the law will be passed.
President Trump has already shown the stance of taking countermeasures such as sanctions against Chinese officials, and the parliamentary side may also ask the administration to increase pressure on China.
