The United States has banned visas for Chinese officials

Washington, Ta. Saturday, June 27, 2020

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has banned a Chinese official from applying for a visa. Chinese government officials who threatened Hong Kong's independence will no longer be allowed to enter the United States. This includes former officers in addition to the officers currently in office.

In Hong Kong, people's freedom has been put at risk by passing various bills at the behest of the Chinese government. The United States has consistently opposed China's move.

The China-inspired Hong Kong Congress passed a bill that would make anyone who opposes China in Hong Kong a terrorist. The United States has since taken action against officials responsible for the bill and the current state of Hong Kong.

"I'm taking action against all Chinese government officials who are responsible for Hong Kong's current situation," said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Announcing the visa ban, Pompeo said visas have been banned for all officials who are currently working and have previously worked on the Hong Kong issue. President Donald Trump has announced that action will be taken against government officials of the Chinese Communist Party. These steps have been taken as part of it.

Earlier, the United States announced that it would ban officials from discriminating against minority Uighur Muslims. This new announcement will escalate the Sino-US conflict.
