Former Sec. of State Pompeo, 27 other Trump officials banned from entering China

By The Editor

January 25, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Twenty-eight officials of the Trump administration including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have been sanctioned from entering or doing business with China.

The move comes after Pompeo’s declaration that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) oppression of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region is “genocide” and a crime against humanity.

Other names on the list include former Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, former national security advisor Robert O’Brien, and former White House trade advisor Peter Navarro. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft is also banned from China.

The Foreign Ministry in Beijing said in a statement it had “decided to sanction 28 persons who have seriously violated China’s sovereignty and who have been mainly responsible for such U.S. moves on China-related issues.”

The ministry described the 28 individuals as “anti-China politicians” who “out of their selfish political interests and prejudice and hatred against China and showing no regard for the interests of the Chinese and American people, have planned, promoted and executed a series of crazy moves which have gravely interfered in China’s internal affairs, undermined China’s interests, offended the Chinese people, and seriously disrupted China-U.S. relations.”
