As though we need more evidence that some of the Americans are really thoroughly brain-washed by the Western media.

Сhinese elites given directive on foreign assets – WSJ​

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), seeking to insulate the country’s top brass from Western sanctions like those imposed on Russia over the Ukraine conflict, has allegedly issued a directive discouraging senior officials from buying assets abroad.

The new policy will block promotions for CCP elites who have significant overseas holdings, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. The restriction will apply not only to assets owned directly and indirectly by high party officials themselves, but also those held by their wives and children.

The CCP’s Central Organization Department is said to have issued the new investment restriction in an internal notice in March, weeks after Russia launched its military offensive against Ukraine. Ministerial-level party leaders will no longer be allowed to own such foreign assets as real estate and stocks, according to the report.

Party officials will also be prohibited from opening non-essential accounts in overseas financial institutions. For instance, a leader’s college-age child would be able to hold an account in a local bank while attending a foreign university, but he or she wouldn’t be allowed to park cash in Singapore or Switzerland as a safe haven.

Huge news. And big respect to Xi for managing to pass this. I can't even imagine how big the internal pushback would be for this move. Congratulations

This policy has been around unofficially for years now....on my wife's side of the family, we have cousins and uncles who are CPC officials working in Fujian trade offices and state banks, some of them with overseas assets were not approved for promotion, those without overseas assets moved up quite quickly.

They are running out of Russian stuff to sanction. Now they are resorting to sanctio themselves.
