Member of the Federation Council, Alexey Pushkov, commented on the introduction of Twekin’s response against individuals and companies from the United States and Canada. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
“The United States in essence has not yet experienced counter-based sanctions from other states, but they will inevitably encounter this. China is able to introduce serious responses,” he warned. At the same time, the Senator clarified that the response restrictions will be effective, “only when the major projects and the interests of the American business will affect.”
MFA has imposed sanctions against individuals and enterprises from the United States and Canada on March 27. Under them were including the head of the Commission of the United States of America on the international freedom of the religion of Tony Perkins and a member of the Canadian Parliament Michael Chong.
The reason for mutual sanctions was the report of the NEWLINES INSTITUTE Analytical Center, the authors of which accused China in violating each of the prohibitions of the UN Convention on the Prevention of the Crime of Genocide and Punishment for Him. They found evidence, allegedly confirming systematic violations of human rights in relation to Muslim minorities in the Sinzian-Uygur region.
