China has imposed sanctions on some U.S. Congress members, government officials and heads of non-governmental organizations for "egregious behavior on Hong Kong-related issues," its foreign ministry said.
The sanctions come in response to the U.S. sanctioning six Chinese and Hong Kong officials last month, which a foreign ministry spokesperson said China "strongly condemns."
"Any wrong action taken by the U.S. side on the Hong Kong-related issue will be met with resolute and reciprocal counteraction by the Chinese side," the spokesperson added.
