Foreign Ministry says politicians who damage ties will pay for their crazy acts
China has imposed sanctions on 28 US individuals, including former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, in a strong response to the series of "crazy" policy moves by China hawks in the previous United States administration.
"Over the past four years, the Trump administration, especially Pompeo, has buried too many mines in US-China relations that need to be removed, burned too many bridges that need to be rebuilt, and destroyed too many roads that need to be repaired," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on Thursday.
