China announced retaliatory sanctions on U.S. lawmakers, government officials, and NGO leaders on Monday, denouncing what it called “egregious behaviour” concerning Hong Kong-related matters.
China has imposed sanctions on some U.S. congress members, government officials as well as heads of non-governmental organisations for "egregious behaviour on Hong Kong-related issues", its foreign ministry said on Monday.

"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," Guo said
