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 Nepal, Bhutan discuss stronger climate cooperation in New York Japan pledges continued support to Nepal for flood recovery Chinese President Xi Jinping to pay state visit to US South Korea pledges continued flood recovery support Government expands domestic jobs to reduce migration WHO Regional Director seeks support for top post Top Headlines Monsoon is predictable and Nepal’s disaster response should be too1 Nepal “a Buffer State”: Rethinking foreign policy in relative terms2 Promotion Linked to Future Military Leadership: Major General Magar Could Become Army Chief3 When the State Pulls the Trigger, Who Answers ?4 Before the Ballots: How Oli Lost the Political Narrative5 Nepal’s Political Renaissance: The rise of the RSP, the re-ordering of the old political order and the political path forward6 Balen’s Silence Has Invited Curiosity, Confusion, and Concerns7 Jagdamba Group Chairman Shankar Agrawal Arrested8 TRENDING Once on the Margins, Women Diplomats Are Now Making Their Mark in Nepal’s Foreign Service Sector What Makes Prithivi Narayan Shah a Philosopher and a Truly Democratic King?
