US Sanctions More Hong Kong Officials Amid China’s Crackdown

The Trump administration is sanctioning six Chinese and Hong Kong officials, including the city’s justice secretary and police commissioner, in the latest steps to target authorities implementing Beijing’s hard-line policies.

The US is sanctioning Justice Secretary Paul Lam and Hong Kong Police Commissioner Raymond Siu, as well as other senior officials, over the China-imposed national security law in the city and for “transnational repression” targeting individuals in the US, the State Department said Monday.
