Beijing has announced sanctions against US officials, including GOP Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, in retaliation for measures Washington announced last week over Beijing's alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying revealed the new sanctions at a press conference Monday, calling on the US to"stop interfering in China's international affairs."Among the US officials named by Hua are Senators Rubio and Cruz, both former presidential candidates, US Representative Chris Smith, Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback and the Congressional-Executive Commission on China.
Anyone sanctioned by the US also faces visa restrictions, preventing them and their families from entering the US.China's western Xinjiang region is culturally and ethnically different from much of the rest of the country, with a large Turkic minority population, and has for years had an uneasy relationship with the government in Beijing.
