The Hill: US announces new sanctions on Chinese officials over 'repressive acts' 

The Department of State announced on Monday it would sanction some Chinese officials over what it called "repressive acts" against members of ethnic and religious groups, including those in the U.S. 

“The United States rejects efforts by PRC officials to harass, intimidate, surveil, and abduct members of ethnic and religious minority groups, including those who seek safety abroad, and U.S. citizens, who speak out on behalf of these vulnerable populations,” the department said in a statement, referring to China by its formal name, the People's Republic of China. 

"We are committed to defending human rights around the world and will continue to use all diplomatic and economic measures to promote accountability.”
