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 UN report underscores urgency of hefty financing to rescue SDGs 100 rockets fired at northern Israel after Israel strikes deeper… China targets economic growth of around 5 pct in 2024 Two people to be publicly executed in eastern Afghanistan Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan and wife get 14 years jail… Huawei Sustainability Forum: Jeffrey Sachs Advocates Tech Solutions to Address… Top Headlines Nepal, India sign long-term agreement on electricity export, materializing MoU reached during PM’s visit1 NC, Maoist Centre discuss about NA election2 1.3 kilos of gold confiscated from TIA3 Govt. forms former-judge Poudel led probe commission to investigate Balkumari incident4 Dhakal recommended as SC chief registrar5 Manpower agency owner arrested for cheating more than Rs 1.9 million6 President expresses concern over ’emptying’ villages for lack of employment opportunities7 PM Dahal stresses on developing innovative agricultural system8 TRENDING Pathao, Tootle resume ride sharing services after authorities relax lockdown What Makes Prithivi Narayan Shah a Philosopher and a Truly Democratic King?
