US: Sanctions by 11 Hong Kong Secretary Generals: One country, two systems, promise breach
【Washington】
Trump US Administration:
On August 7, it was announced that sanctions will be imposed on 11 people, including Hong Kong’s top administrative secretary, Carry Lam, due to the fact that Hong Kong has violated its autonomy.
It increased pressure on China, which had moved to strengthen its control over Hong Kong.
In the future, further sharpening of the US-China conflict is inevitable.
■ US assets freeze, unable to trade with Americans
Mr. Pompeo said, “China violates the promise of the “one country, two systems”.”
■A sharpening of the US-China conflict is unavoidable

Here are the Hong Kong officials OFAC sanctioned today
OFAC
imposed sanctions on 11 Hong Kong officials Friday, including the territory’s head of state,
for “undermining Hong Kong’s autonomy and restricting the freedom of expression or assembly of the citizens of Hong Kong.”
In a statement, Treasury
said China’s new national security law has allowed its “security services to operate [in Hong Kong] with impunity.” The statement said China’s action has also undermined the rule of law in Hong Kong and set the “groundwork for censorship of any individuals or outlets that are deemed unfriendly to China.”
The new OFAC designations ban U.S. or foreign nationals from doing business with those named.
The sanctions also require U.S. banks to freeze any assets in the United States of the individuals.
The Treasury Department said the 11 people designated Friday are “responsible for the degradation of Hong Kong’s autonomy.”
