China on Saturday announced sanctions on individuals and entities in Canada and the United States in response to sanctions imposed on Chinese citizens and groups over conditions in Xinjiang.
China sanctioned MP Michael Chong, who is also the Conservative Party’s foreign affairs critic. Sanctions were also placed on the House of Commons subcommittee on international human rights, which concluded in October that China’s treatment of its Uyghur population amounts to genocide.
“The individuals concerned are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of China, and Chinese citizens and institutions are prohibited from doing business with the relevant individuals and having exchanges with the relevant entity,” the ministry wrote.
