On the eve of his departure from office, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo characterized China’s actions against the Uighurs as “genocidal” atrocities. The Chinese Foreign Ministry subsequently announced sanctions against 28 U.S. officials, banning them and their families from “entering China, Hong Kong and Macau. In response, Hong Kong House of Representatives founding party chairman Luo Guancong laughed and shouted that China did not ban the 28 officials from entering Taiwan, is this a disguised recognition of Taiwan’s independence?
The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced in the early hours of the 21st that it would impose sanctions on 28 U.S. personnel who “seriously violated China’s sovereignty” and were primarily responsible for doing so.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry stressed that the above 28 people and their families have been banned from entering China, Hong Kong and Macau, and that they and their associated companies and institutions have been restricted from doing business with China.
In response, Luo Guancong said in a Facebook post today that China has finally taken action to “settle accounts after the fall”, which is quite a “communist style”. But why did the Chinese Communist Party not announce that the above 28 people were banned from entering Taiwan, which is an indirect admission that Taiwan is not under Chinese jurisdiction? Is it a disguised recognition of Taiwan’s independence?
Netizens have laughed and shouted, “The Chinese Communist Party has moved a stone to smash its own feet”, “not banned from going to Taiwan, proving that Taiwan is not a part of China! The netizens have laughed and shouted, “The ban on entry into China, Hong Kong and Macau, then go to Taiwan,”.
