On December 10, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked. On December 8, the US announced sanctions against 14 vice-chairmen of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China on the grounds of Hong Kong-related issues. China said it would take countermeasures. What countermeasures are there?
Hua Chunying stated that in view of the US's serious interference in China's internal affairs by using Hong Kong-related issues and harm to China's core interests, China has decided to deal with officials of the US administration, congressional officials, non-governmental organizations and personnel who have performed badly on Hong Kong-related issues and are primarily responsible. His immediate family members imposed reciprocal sanctions, and at the same time, China decided to cancel the visa-free treatment for temporary visits to Hong Kong and Macau by US diplomatic passport holders.
China once again urges the US to immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and not go further and further down the wrong and dangerous road.
