Beijing has imposed sanctions on two Canadian institutions and several individuals involved in issues in Tibet and Xinjiang.
China announced restrictive measures against Canada after Ottawa imposed sanctions against Beijing over human rights violations. It was reported by South China Morning Post.
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said two Canadian organizations are subject to restrictions: the Uygur Rights Advocacy Project and the Canada Tibet Committee.
In addition, 20 people associated with these organizations were included in the sanctions list.
The sanctions began on December 21. As a result, China froze all assets of these organizations, banned any financial cooperation with them, and banned those on the list from entering Chinese territory, including Hong Kong and Macau.
Recall that in October, the navies of the United States and Canada sent the guided-missile destroyer USS Higgins and the frigate Vancouver to the Taiwan Strait.
Let’s note that a few years ago the leader of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, made an unannounced visit to Tibet.
