EU, China impose tit-for-tat sanctions over Xinjiang abuses

The European Union imposed sanctions on Mar 22 on four Chinese officials, including a top security director, for human rights abuses in Xinjiang, to which Beijing responded with its own sanctions on Europeans.

The first significant sanctions was imposed by EU since an EU arms embargo in 1989 following the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy crackdown indicates a change in posture.

In its Official Journal, the EU accused Chen of “arbitrary detentions and degrading treatment inflicted upon Uighurs and people from other Muslim ethnic minorities, as well as systematic violations of their freedom of religion or belief”.

The Socialists and Democrats condemn the Chinese counter-measure targeting ten Europeans, among them S&D MEP Raphaël Glucksmann

Kathleen van Brempt, S&D MEP and spokesperson on trade, said, “We stand in solidarity with our colleague Raphaël Glucksmann and 9 other Europeans, who were today targeted by the Chinese government with retaliatory measures.”

Inmaculada Rodríguez-Piñero, S&D MEP and responsible for the China Investment Agreement, said that Europe shouldn’t sacrifice their value and standard for trading with China and China must commit to a roadmap on the implementation of International Labour Organisation conventions against forced labour, and on improving the human rights situation in the country.
