Sen. Ted Cruz: China sanctions me again – Communist Party is terrified and lashing outChina announced sanctions against me this week for the second time in a month. This time it was for speaking out against China’s deepening control of Hong Kong.
The first time, in July, the Chinese government sanctioned me and banned me from traveling to China for condemning the Chinese Communist Party’s horrific human rights abuses against the Uighurs.
The irony is that those atrocities had already made China a less than attractive tourist destination.
The Chinese regime has forced over 1 million Uighurs into concentration camps and has engaged in ethnic cleansing, including through forced abortions and sterilizations.Last October, I went to Hong Kong and met with pro-democracy activists, dissidents, and protest leaders to express my support for the fight to protect Hong Kong’s autonomy, free speech and basic human rights. Dressed all in black, we stood together in solidarity, demanding that China honor the deal it agreed to pledging to protect Hong Kong’s autonomy.
