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.

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.
