China has decided to sanction 28 U.S. officials, including former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo, for violating China's sovereignty. Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement that over the past few years, some anti-China politicians in the United States – out of selfish political interests and prejudice and hatred against China – have showed disregard for the interests of the Chinese and American people.
In addition to Pompeo, the list includes Peter K. Navarro, Robert C. O'Brien, David R. Stilwell, Matthew Pottinger, Alex M. Azar II, Keith J. Krach, and Kelly D. Craft of the Trump administration as well as former administration officials, John R. Bolton and Stephen K. Bannon.
On the same day, spokesperson for the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council also lashed out at Pompeo for "wantonly intervening in Hong Kong issues."
