Beijing Sanctions More Individuals in Taiwan in Response to U.S. Congressional Visits

What’s new: Beijing announced a new round of sanctions Tuesday on a number of “stubborn ‘Taiwan independence’ players,” banning them and their relatives from entering the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong or Macao, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.

The individuals’ affiliated organizations will meanwhile be barred from working with or profiting from connections with the mainland, according to a spokesperson from the Taiwan Work Office of the Central Committee.
