U.S. imposes sanctions on 14 Chinese officials over Hong Kong crackdown
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on 14 Chinese officials on Monday, the U.S. Treasury's website showed, in new designations linked to Beijing’s disqualification of elected opposition legislators in Hong Kong.
The move, first reported by Reuters overnight, targeted individuals who are all members of China's National People's Congress, as Republican President Donald Trump’s administration keeps up pressure on Beijing in his final weeks in office.
Democratic President-elect Joe Biden takes over on Jan. 20.
Stock markets remained under pressure after the news. Asian shares fell over the Reuters story overnight, as investors fretted over fresh Sino-U.S. tensions, which offset bets over more stimulus in Europe and the United States.
Hong Kong’s Beijing-backed government last month expelled four opposition members from its legislature after China’s parliament gave city authorities new powers to curb dissent. The move triggered mass resignations by pro-democracy opposition lawmakers in the former British colony.
It also raised further alarm in the West. The Five Eyes intelligence-sharing group - comprised of Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States - said last month the move appeared to be part of a campaign to silence critics, and called on Beijing to reverse course.

China needs to turn this into an awards ceremony where everybody dresses up like they're going to the Oscars and someone reads the names out of an envelope one by one to applause as they walk down a red carpet onto the stage. Then a couple need to get disgruntled and say, "This is effing bullcrap! It's rigged! I did this, this and this to clean up Hong Kong and I don't get recognition? What did that guy do? Sign some papers and he gets the award? I did ten times more than him! Some of these bastards had to have bribed the corrupt US government for this award!" Drops the reporter's mic, turns around, kicks over a trash can LOL
My God his new hair style. Got to be a new fashion trend...
Tod redeem their mistakes, HSBC can open accounts for and serves all HK officials under US sanction, such as HK Chief Officer. I believe Beijing is certainly willing to forgive HSBC for that sake.
