China says it will suspend U.S. Navy visits to Hong Kong and sanction a range of pro-democracy groups in retaliation for Congress’ passage of legislation supporting human rights in the semi-autonomous territory.

Pro-democracy supporters hold up cards which read "Five Demands, Not one less" during a rally by the advertising industry in Hong Kong Monday, Dec. 2, 2019. Thousands of people took to Hong Kong's streets Sunday in a new wave of pro-democracy protests, but police fired tear gas after some demonstrators hurled bricks and smoke bombs, breaking a rare pause in violence that has persisted during the six-month-long movement.

Along with suspending visits by official U.S. military ships and aircraft, Hua said China would sanction organizations including the National Endowment for Democracy, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, Human Rights Watch, the International Republican Institute, Freedom House, and others that she said had “performed badly” in the Hong Kong unrest.

Among the groups to be subject to the unspecified sanctions, the National Endowment for Democracy receives funding directly from Congress, while others generally draw their running costs from a mixture of private and public grants.

Noted. antichinazi

So what?

Powerful sanction from China ! 🤩 May boycott NBA shortly ✌🏼 HongKongProtest HongKongPoliceTerrorism

Where's lebron when you need him

Reject US Navy to visit Hong Kong, is that sanction to US or the Hong Kong economy like pub and restaurants? Also it fully endorse itself a tyranny to impose sanction to NGOs. Really can't figure out what's the China Communist Party's logic.

Fight4HongKong Sanctioning human rights and pro democracy groups and NGOs🤔that tells you a lot about this country!

What’s the logic behind this sanction? Self-justifying its identity as the world largest human rights abuser? antitotalitarianism China StandWithHongKong

Whats the bid deal

US Navy can always elsewhere for supply, no worry at all . US Congress pls pass the HongKongBeWaterAct for sanction of CCP officials. 請大家簽名及轉發: 就推行Hong Kong Be Water Act發起聯署,以制裁北京對香港自由同埋人權嘅侵蝕嘅政府官員。

This perhaps reflect that Chinese officials are worried about the sanction to be imposed on them through HKHRDA.

StandwithHK

who fking cares? I would urge China to sanction all US banks in HongKong

Taiwan will welcome the navy visit for sure

Enough is enough. The law signed by Pres Trump mandates sanctions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials who commit human rights abuses. Stop eroding the freedom in Hong Kong

Fight4HongKong Make Taiwan Kaohsiung, or Philippine Better Choice.

Very clear act to show China is under Totalitarianism

Warships: stay in Taiwan NGOs: did not register in China Sanctions: 404 Not Found HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct

When CCP enjoy the benefits of Special Economic Zone from Hong Kong, but to use it to sanction U.S.? Chinazi

China is pretty clear about what it is fighting against: freedom, justice and democracy StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom

Okay, noted..

And soon CCPChina will ban the USNavy from visiting Japan then Asia then pan-asia oceans. Keeping fighting HongKongers

The communists will never stop stomping peoples heads on the ground until we stomp theirs, be it economic or physical.

It seems China has real actions against the US

Hmm okay?😅😂😂

Why is China isolating itself more and more? I guess it doesnt need any friends.

Anti dictatorship CCPChina

Their 'retaliation' is really 'very scary'🤡🤡🤭

We should annex Hong Kong.

“Beijing imposes restrictions on non-governmental organizations, and is particularly concerned about those involved in humanitarian causes, gender equality, the environment or minority rights” hidden suggestion is clear as water now, HKProtest already presents the worst of CCP

Sanctioning pro-democracy NGOs is an open admittance of the country’s anti-democracy stance. Which “genius” think of this “retaliation” act? StandWithHongKong jokeoftheday

In other words, they’re sanctioning democracy. ...ok. Good to make things clear.

Not strong enough. China should ban its people from traveling countries which support Hong Kong. I will then know where is safe and comfortable to visit.

China government is afraid of USA. They can’t do anything more to resist. Thank America standwithhongkong frightforfreedom antichinzi

The fact that China has reacted supports the notion of sanctioning HK officials for suppressing freedom of Hongkongers StandWithHongKong

That seems they show a message Beijing wanna take full control of South Sea. Maybe Beijing will have further action later to try expelling US away from South Sea.

Sanction of the organizations which are supporting human rights.🧐 China are harming the human right over the world antichinazi

totalitarian CCP

When will 🇺🇸 stop all those applications of student visa/immigration from 🇨🇳?! ccp StandwithHK

China’s officials will likely have their dollar-denominated assets frozen while USA’s navy will only have their entry denied... I wonder how the route of the US-China trade negotiation looks like.

China to suspend US Navy visits to Hong Kong over new law. It means we are doing the right thing. To connect with the most powerful country in the world. StandWithHongKong

I have remembered that there was a sentence said by pro-Beijing parties before. Now, it is suitable for replying to CCP's sanction list.

What a Joke! US, Pls stand up for freedom & human rights of US citizens and HKers. We must stop CCP oppression, Resist CCP to spread white terrorism, like what it did to Italian Parliament, NBA Blizzard DCComics SouthPark & LadyGaga StandWithHongKong 5DemandsNot1Less

Oh well let’s see which side will face bigger consequences 🥰

Can China really handle all sorts of political, social and economic pressures at once? I'll wait and see.

Visit Taiwan.

What's else? I just look forward to see how China would respond the trade deal. Anyway, I don't expect China seriously doing this. See how it keeps violating on what it said/agreed internationally. Always act oppositely on her words.

In CCP point of view, supporting freedom and human rights is wrong. Wtf? StandWithHongKong

No one wanna go to China LOL

US can never give in given growing oppression of China. Tdy she can suspend visits, tmr she can dishonour international treaties (like Joint Declaration) to attack in every aspect eg economic (trade war now). StandwithHK or be HK next is never a slogan but truth HongKong 홍콩

CocokingP Is like punishing HK retailers ......

soshk hk How shameful that CCP shows their contempt for humanity and freedom as a retaliation to US.

The NBA & their 'woke' players are safe as democracy is not on their list

So, please visit Taiwan 🇹🇼 chinazi StandWithHongKong

Of course. China will toughen it's grip and bring a military crackdown to Hong Kong soon. Democracy does not fit with china's governing system

HongkongerView Who cares?

That is the so called retaliation? Would the US feel any pain? And we will see if china is really going to do it.

Did congress and the Trump administration check with NBA payers about the negative effect it might have before they passed such anti Chinese legislation?

Totally not authoritative at all

I wish American corporations would stand with democracy and not with the Chinese regime. Greed above anything else I guess though.

realDonaldTrump SecPompeo FYI

China has fingered Un into action too.

SanctionsOnIndia for it's war crimes in Kashmir

cryborg Negotiations hit a snag realDonaldTrump

It should have been left alone. Now it's getting worse. The U.S. can't govern China. People are going to get killed.

Congress did the right thing

China is using its economic power and military power to push their ways the pro democracy numbers now is in the majority the world should condemn China in words and by trade to change their attitude towards Hong Kong and Taiwan and have freedom their

1 China cant stop the US from using international waters 2 this only shows again how china doesnt like any human rights and 3 its only a matter of time before ppl fight back beyond hong kong cause even with internet shut off at a moments notice, chinese ppl still hear about HK.

The USNavy is a defender of democracy and no doubt supports the HongKongProtesters fight for DemocracyForHK And the Navy has been challenging China's attempts to control international waters for years. So a big GoNavy and a big GFY for XiJinping

Stay mad!

I wouldn't expect anything less from china - sanctioning human rights & pro-democracy groups in the face of protesting for greater freedoms - they're laying their lives on the line literally for greater freedom & the right to choose a government that reflects their desires - SAD!

Trump does it again. He should have kept his nose out of this one but he does not know the history and lacks the ability to assess situations accurately.

Roh roh.

No...not the Navy visit!....anything but that...
