    US imposes sanctions on Carrie Lam & 10 others

    Not sure how real this is... Let's see.

    (added)


    As well as Lam, the sanctions target Hong Kong Police commissioner Chris Tang and his predecessor Stephen Lo; John Lee Ka-chiu, Hong Kong’s secretary of security, and Teresa Cheng, the justice secretary.

    Has Bloomberg come out with real news lately? They were saying the stock market was about to collapse two years before covid.

    SCMP is also reporting US sanctions on CCP officials as well as Carrie Lam is coming, possibly as soon as Friday. Its the same as the Bloomberg article, if SCMP did not have high confidence in the validity of the report, they would not have used it, they must think the report is accurate:

    When Cheng eventually retires and attempts to resume her British citizenship to go live in the UK, I wonder if the Home Office will say no on the basis of this designation.

    Speculation on the effect on deemed ownership.

    Otherwise it seems mostly for signal effect, and identifying the people held responsible, presumably with potentially more to follow depending on developments.

    It would be good to see the UK put some sanctions on CL. That would be interesting.
