China Sanctions 3 People and an Organisation
One of the Sanctioned People: Proud to be Sanctioned due to Speaking Out for Hong Kong and Xinjiang
The sanctions between China, Europe and United Stated have not come to an end due to Xinjiang human rights issues. Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China announced to sanction three people and an organisation in the US and Canada last night (27th March). Canada President Trudeau responded to the sanction that it was an “unacceptable behaviour”. A Canadian Federal Representative, who has been sanctioned, Michael David Chong, indicated that he has a responsibility to speak out for Hong Kong and Uyghurs.
The father of Michael David Ching came from Hong Kong, and he also can speak Cantonese. He said, “We, the people who live in the free places with democracy and the rule of law, must speak out for silent. If this means China will sanction me, I will take it as an honour”.

Kneeling after Being Sanctioned by China; the British Law Firm Website Removed Xinjiang's Genocide Comments
Four barristers from Essex Court Chambers in England London released a legal opinion document, which described that the Chinese government is doing “genocide” in Xinjiang. Thus, the whole firm was being listed into the sanction list of China. According to Financial Times, the firm recently released a statement for “cutting ties”, saying that those legal opinions are not related to other firm members and has already removed the related document on their official website.
The related legal opinion document was distributed to non-profit organisations by the four lawyers in London. It described the actions that the Chinese government did in Xinjiang, involving the crimes of humanity and genocide. Right after that, the firm was being sanctioned by China.

China’s sanctions on me and others are a clumsy attempt to silence debate
Michael Chong is the Conservative foreign affairs critic and MP for Wellington-Halton Hills.
China is trying to silence the truth abroad, after having silenced it at home.
Just over two weeks ago, I woke up to news that China’s government had sanctioned me, adding me to a list of officials in the United States, Britain and Europe who have been sanctioned for simply speaking. Speaking against Beijing’s genocide of its Uyghur Muslim minority. Speaking against its crackdown on Hong Kong.

Vancouver mayor suspends meetings with Chinese government officials
Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart has suspended all meeting requests and contact with Chinese government officials, including a recent invitation to meet with China’s ambassador to Canada.
The mayor’s move is a response to China recently announcing sanctions on individuals in the United States and Canada, including friend and Conservative MP Michael Chong.
“It’s threatening and intimidating and I know that he’s taking it in stride, but that’s reaching a new level of hostility — that’s not diplomacy, that’s bullying,” said Stewart, a former NDP MP who released a book with Chong and Liberal MP Scott Simms in 2017 about reforming democracy in Canada.

EU suspends efforts to ratify controversial investment deal with China
The EU has suspended efforts to ratify an investment deal with China because of tensions between Brussels and Beijing.
The agreement was reached in principle last December but had yet to receive the necessary endorsement from EU institutions, such as the European Parliament.
"We have for the time being [...] suspended some efforts of political awareness on the part of the Commission because it's clear that, in the current situation, with the sanctions of the EU against China and the Chinese counter-sanctions, including against Members of the European Parliament, the environment is not conducive to the ratification of the agreement," Valdis Dombrovskis, executive vice-president of the European Commission, told French news agency AFP in an interview.

Former Tory leader sighs on the naive misjudgement of the West regarding the Chineses’ ongoing autocracy
“Sometimes people would forget that China was once a closed country.” Former leader of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom Sir Iain Duncan Smith talked about his time in Beijing 30 years ago in his interview with Stand News. Back then, China was still closed and western faces were still rare to see in Beijing.
To date, that was his last visit to China and it was probably his last.

Imagine an ugly bully kept telling some woman that she is his wife, and that is she doesn’t come home he will beat her up, and now he’s saying that if she doesn’t “come home” he’ll stop buying her gifts. And the woman goes “I’m not your wife ⁉️ Say whatever you want and stop bugging me.” That’s #CCP and #Taiwan’s relationship in a nutshell.

Australia set to pass new laws that provide powers to sanction human rights abusers
//Laws allowing Australia to slap sanctions on human rights abusers, cyber attackers and corrupt officials are set to be enshrined after passing the Senate.
The so-called Magnitsky style laws, which would allow the Australian government to directly target sanctions against individuals or entities, passed the upper house on Wednesday.
The reforms would allow financial sanctions to be imposed against perpetrators of serious human rights violations - without having to establish a country-specific approach.
Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching - who has advocated for the laws to be adopted - said the new powers were needed to punish human rights abusers and hold criminals to account.
"In a modern age of regimes run by the dregs of humanity (who) torture and jail and murder their own citizens ... if you believe in the dignity of human beings you can't allow such evil to go on unchallenged," she said.
The laws will be reviewed by a joint parliamentary committee after three years.//

The Australian Senate unanimously passed the Australian version of the Magnitsky Bill, which can sanction human rights violators and hackers
The #AustralianSenate unanimously passed the Autonomous Sanctions Amendment (Magnitsky-style and other Thematic Sanctions) Bill 2021.
This bill empowers the Australian government to sanction #HumanRights violators, corrupted officials, and hackers by the entry prohibition and freezing of assets.
#MarisePayne, Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs, states that they have to ensure the evildoers not to gain benefit from a democratic free world.
In the past, in addition to the mandatory #UnitedNations sanctions, #Australia will also follow its own diplomatic policy through Autonomous Sanctions Amendment Bill 2011.
As the bill uses “country” as a unit for sanction, the sanctions are distinct.
A human rights organization, #HumanRightsWatch, criticizes the current sanctions are “vague and non-permanent” and does not need the Australian government to examine human rights considerations.
The Australian Parliamentary Foreign Affairs and Defence and Trade Committee issued a report at the end of last year discussing whether Australia should establish the Magnitsky Bill.
Payne indicated in August this year that Australia would strengthen the laws of sanctions by empowering the government to impose economic sanctions and travel bans on individuals or entities that cause the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, major human rights violations, malicious network activities, and serious corruption. The bill is no longer setting up separate sanction plans on a national basis.

Though US blacklisted SenseTime, it has little impact because the software company doesn’t rely on US exports.
But it's still good to shame them and deny them of US investors I guess?
Some background: SenseTime filed a patent for a facial recognition feature that could, among other things, distinguish between people who were and were not ethnically Uyghur in 2019.

Chinese Tech Giants Quietly Retreat From Doing Business With Russia
Chinese tech companies are quietly pulling back from doing business in Russia under pressure from U.S. sanctions and suppliers, despite calls by Beijing for companies to resist overseas coercion.
Several major companies are curtailing shipments in Russia, where Chinese tech firms dominate the market for many products, without making any public announcements, according to interviews with people familiar with the matter.
They include PC giant Lenovo Group Ltd. and smartphone and gadget maker Xiaomi Corp., the people said. In contrast to many Western firms, the companies have avoided making public statements about Russia’s war in Ukraine or their business there as Beijing opposes Western sanctions.
