China imposes sanctions on 11 Americans, including Sens. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, for 'behaving badly on Hong Kong-related issues'
China said on Monday it has imposed sanctions on 11 Americans, including six US lawmakers, for"behaving badly on Hong Kong-related issues."
The action is the latest in escalating tensions between the two countries and a back-and forth in sanctions. The US on Friday sanctioned Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam as well as 10 other Chinese and Hong Kong officials for their role in crackdowns on political freedom in the region -- the latest measure taken by the Trump administration in response to China's imposition of a controversial national security law on Hong Kong.
