After China sanctioned retaliation from the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom to the United States and Canada in relation to the’Uighur human rights suppression’, the state media threatened to be the next target of sanctions to be’Quad’.
The Global Times, an English sister magazine of the People’s Daily, an agency of the Chinese Communist Party, announced on the 28th that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China announced that it would sanction some individuals and organizations in the United States and Canada in relation to the Xinjiang Uighur issue the day before.
In an interview with the media, Professor Zhou Ying of China’s Sinan Political Law University said, “China has announced sanctions against individuals and organizations in the US, UK and Canada to date. Will be.”
The Global Times also mentioned the possibility of joint sanctions with countries that support China. This seems to mean Russia and the like. Professor Joo explained, “China is considering multilateral sanctions, including the way it is filing an anti-sanctions bill with the United Nations. .
Previously, China imposed sanctions on the EU and the UK, and on the evening of the 27th, it also announced sanctions on the US and Canada. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on its website that it would sanction some individuals and organizations in the United States and Canada on the Xinjiang Uighur issue in the name of a spokesperson.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the United States and Canada of imposing sanctions on the kidney problem on the basis of lies and misinformation. “USCIRF Chairman and Vice Chairman Gale Manchin, Canadian Congressman Michael Chong and Canadian Parliament I am sanctioning my international human rights subcommittee.”
It is also noteworthy that some emotional measures were taken, such as including the wife of the Democratic Party Senator Gale Manchin as the subject of sanctions. Accordingly, they and their organizations are prohibited from entering mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Transactions with Chinese citizens and institutions are also prohibited.
The United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, and Canada jointly imposed sanctions on Chinese officials on the 22nd for violating human rights in Xinjiang. This was the first joint response in which US allies participated in large numbers after President Joe Biden took office.
Concerned about the rallying of US anti-China allies, China immediately retaliated and put not only the EU but also British politicians on the list of sanctions. In addition, China’s foreign ministers and defense ministers are visiting the Middle East and Eastern Europe together to promote the legitimacy of Chinese policy.
