The European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada are sanctioning these Chinese working conditions for the representation of the Uighur minority, a gesture that provoked an immediate reaction from Beijing, which has sanctioned European lawmakers and academics.
The UE initiated in the spring this year of coordinated restrictive media, which increased the pressure on Beijing, with the publication in its Official Diary of the number of employees of the Chinese autonomous region of Sinkiang, and the sanction.
The sanctions adopted by the Chancellors of the 27 European countries, reunited in Brussels, are the first to be adopted by the Bloc of China against officials representing the Tiananmen Square in 1989.
In the meantime, the Chinese governing body has published a list of 10 European citizens, including parliamentarians, who have been subject to sanctions, in retaliation for the “gross interference” in EU internal sanctions, including the Chinese Chancellery.
The governors of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom have announced their respective meditations similar to those of Europeans representing this Muslim minority.
Airada reaction
“This gesture, based on nothing but lies and misinformation, discord and distortion hechos” breathes to affect the relationship between the EU and China, according to the law firm.
The EU’s diplomat, Josep Borrell, said the China’s anti – reciprocal reciprocity measures were “unacceptable” and blocked the blockade in defending human rights.
“By changing its policies and reaching out to our legitimate preoccupations, China has once again committed itself to another crime,” he said.
The UE sanctioned the secretary of the Sinkiang Political and Legal Acts Committee, Zhu Hailun, in addition to the other three officials of this same autonomous region.
Brussels also included in the list of sanctions on the Production and Construction Team of Sinkiang, considered a paramilitary group in the Uighur region.
On the other hand, the list of sanctions against China includes five euro-deputies – the French Raphael Glucksmann, the Germans Reinhard Butikofer and Michael Gahler, the Bulgarian Ilhan Kyuchyuk and the Slovak Miriam Lexmann – in addition to the German academic Adrian Zenz.
The Dutch governor has summoned a Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands over Chinese sanctions against his deputy Sjoerd Sjoerdsma, saying the Chinese decision “is a totally unjustified one”, according to Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
France, for its part, also considers the “unacceptable” sanctions imposed by Beijing, as well as the statements made by the Chinese embassy, by an French investigator and legislator. Paris announces that it will call the ambassador for communion.
Coordinated Action
The United States has announced its sanctions against some of the officials who were also included in the EU list.
The British governor announced sanctions on four officials of the Chinese Communist Party in the Sinkiang region and the Public Security Office.
The British chancellor, Dominic Raab, assured that China is guilty of sterilization of women in Uighur, generalized vigilance of the Muslim minority and of “the massive detention of a religious or religious group of the Second World War”.
Canada sanctioned four civil servants and an entity “for its participation in clarifications and systematic violations” of rights in Sinkiang.
For the EU, the tense escalation of tensions is occurring at a delicate time, and both parties have recently reached an agreement on inversion protection that has been negotiated for years.
It was agreed to be ratified by the European Parliament, but with the inclusion of five Eurodiputes in China’s list of sanctions, the success of the treaty is unequivocal.
Other sanctions announced this month by the EU also include General Min Aung Hlaing, leader of the military junta in Burma, “for sabotaging democracy and the state of justice” in this Asian country.
The Chechen government has also blamed the officials of the Russian region.
European chancellors will also discuss the state of relations with Turkey, a topic that will also be debated this week by the mandate of the bloc in a distance cube.
