Senior members of Congress urged the Biden administration impose new sanctions on Chinese officials — including one of the regime’s top spies, National Review has learned. The request, by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, follows Hong Kong’s issuance of new bounties for the arrest of two pro-democracy advocates in the U.S.
In a letter addressed yesterday to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the members of Congress provided a list of senior Hong Kong government officials that they believe should be sanctioned under existing law. “The Hong Kong authorities’ egregious attempt to intimidate and silence U.S. nationals engaged in peaceful political activism in the United States is outrageous and cannot be met with inaction,” wrote the lawmakers.
