Those targeted include former US Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross. The counter-sanctions come days before US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman is due to visit China.
The US sanctions on Chinese officials in Hong Kong were because of their role in the security crackdown in the territory.

Beijing, July 24 : China has imposed sanctions on several US individuals and organisations in response to recent US sanctions on Chinese officials in Hong Kong. Those targeted include former US Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross.
The counter-sanctions have come days before US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman is due to visit China, the BBC reported on Saturday.
The US sanctions on Chinese officials in Hong Kong were because of their role in the security crackdown in the territory.
Washington also warned its business community of the growing risks of operating in Hong Kong.
Dubai: China s Foreign Ministry said the government is sanctioning seven people and entities, including former US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, in retaliation for a Biden administration warning to businesses about working in Hong Kong.
The move Friday invokes a new law to hit back against sanctions by the U.S. and its allies. The US has concocted the so-called Hong Kong Business Advisory to groundlessly smear Hong Kong s business environment, and illegally imposed sanctions on several officials, according to the statement. In response to the erroneous practice of the U.S. side, China has decided to take reciprocal countermeasures.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded later Friday that the U.S. remains undeterred by these actions and that the move only illustrates China s deteriorating investment climate and rising political risk.
