The United States applies sanctions against the People's Republic of China (retroactively known as “Red China” or “Communist China”). Most recently, sanctions have been justified as a response to human rights abuses against Uyghur people and in Hong Kong.
Sanctions in the early PRC (1949-1979)
Sanctions under Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act
On July 9, 2020, the Trump administration imposed sanctions and visa restrictions against senior Chinese officials, including Chen Quanguo, Zhu Hailun, Wang Mingshan (王明山) and Huo Liujun (霍留军). With sanctions, they and their immediate relatives are barred from entering the US and will have US-based assets frozen.[1]
Sanctions under Hong Kong Autonomy Act
In August 2020, Carrie Lam and ten other Hong Kong government officials were sanctioned by the United States Department of the Treasury under an executive order by President Trump for undermining Hong Kong's autonomy.[2][3][4] The sanction is based on the Hong Kong Autonomy Act and Lam would be listed in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.
