With sanctions on Hong Kong's leader, U.S. blows on China are landing harder and it’s getting more difficult for Beijing to tolerate the punches, writes GinaChon.

The U.S. Treasury Department said on Aug. 7 that it is imposing sanctions on Carrie Lam, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and other individuals it deems responsible for undermining the region’s autonomy. The others on the list include Hong Kong police commissioner Chris Tang and John Lee Ka-chiu, secretary for security in Hong Kong.

Property and interests in the United States of the sanctioned individuals are blocked, while U.S. persons and entities are prohibited from doing business with them.
