From the “stay out of the US” department comes news that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday has announced visa restrictions on employees of Chinese technology companies, including Huawei, in the latest Trump administration move against Beijing. Here’s what CNN had to say:
The US “will impose visa restrictions on certain employees … of Chinese technology companies like Huawei that provide material support to regimes engaging in human rights violations and abuses globally,” Pompeo told reporters at a State Department press briefing. The top US did not elaborate on which employees would be targeted or how many people would be affected. Pompeo’s announcement comes a day after President Donald Trump announced he would sign a bill and an executive order punishing China for steps that are widely seen as an attempt to crush democratic freedoms in Hong Kong, and railed at China for “unleashing … upon the world” the global coronavirus pandemic. In an interview with The Hill later Wednesday, Pompeo added that the US is looking at limits on other Chinese tech companies as well.
This is likely retaliation for the Chinese government banning a bunch of US Senators because they were critical of China. Clearly things between the US and China are escalating. And I think it’s safe to say that we’re going to see a lot more of this over the next few days.
