The specific measures have not yet been determined.
According to TASS, the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong Heng Smith said on Monday on RTHK radio station that the U.S. side does not exclude the possibility of new sanctions against China due to the introduction of national security law in this special administrative region of China.
“Washington is studying the possibility of introducing additional sanctions”, – said the diplomat, without specifying what specific measures may be discussed and calling the adoption of the Chinese law “a tragedy for Hong Kong.”
