Washington had announced on Friday it was freezing the US assets of Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam and 10 other senior Chinese officials, in the toughest US action on Hong Kong since China imposed a sweeping new security law on the territory. It accused Lam and the other sanctioned officials of being “directly responsible for implementing Beijing’s policies of suppression of freedom and democratic processes.” Zhao on Monday said the US move “grossly interferes in China’s internal affairs and seriously violates international law.” (AFP) Write your comments RELATED NEWS US, Pakistan and Iran begin high-level talks in Islamabad Ambassadors pay joint courtesy call on PM Shah Israel Becoming Isolated from the International Community International Concern Over Nepal’s Political Crisis, Emphasis on Dialogue for… Rejecting Putin’s Moscow meeting proposal, Zelensky says : I cannot… India’s Modi renews ties with Maldives Top Headlines Before the Ballots: How Oli Lost the Political Narrative1 Nepali Congress provides financial assistance for Samba’s treatment2 NC President Thapa expresses sorrow over Dhading bus accident3 We will return the savings of cooperative victims within 100 days : Rabi Lamichhane4 Jagdamba Group Chairman Shankar Agrawal Arrested5 PM Karki addresses 61st Session of Human Rights Council: Reaffirms Nepal’s unflinching commitment to advancing human rights6 Govt declares three-day public holiday of election7 Two Offices Under Ministry of Communication to Be Abolished8 TRENDING Once on the Margins, Women Diplomats Are Now Making Their Mark in Nepal’s Foreign Service Sector Pathao, Tootle resume ride sharing services after authorities relax lockdown National Poet Madhav Prasad Ghimire no more Nepal Army initiates investigation into case of financial irregularities by Lieutenant Colonel Janmat Karki Nepal Army’s mission in Lebanon provides Covid support kits to local municipalities Army Day : Five facts about Nepal’s ‘blue helmets’ in UN-peacekeeping missions We need to be serious about the international scenario post-Covid: Dr. Nischal N.
