The Trump administration blacklisted 28 Chinese companies and restricted visas for officials amid alleged abuses in China's Xinjiang region.
Baucus, also a former Democratic senator from Montana, said the U.S. actions could simply be posturing ahead of the planned trade talks to get a better deal from China. But, "China will not be bluffed," he added.and suggested that it would retaliate against the American move.Another issue that could stall the U.S.
That's especially so if there's military intervention or violence "clearly supported" by China in Hong Kong, he told CNBC's"I think that would make it very difficult for the Americans to continue the negotiations. But we're not there yet and hopefully that won't happen," he added. Hong Kong, a former British colony, returned to Chinese rule in 1997 and has been consumed by protests over a now withdrawn bill that would have enabled extradition to the mainland. Under the "one country, two systems" principle, the city's citizens enjoy some economic and legal freedoms that are not granted to their mainland counterparts., which have turned "toxic," could indeed worsen and "tempt" Beijing to take "aggressive action," said Baucus.
"Hong Kong's changed, Hong Kong has lost its innocence, Hong Kong will never be the same again," he said. Baucus added that the more protesters escalate the protests, "there will come a time Beijing will take pretty strong actions in order to maintain control. Beijing will do whatever is necessary to maintain control of Hong Kong."
