Joe Biden would sanction China if president for its plan to impose new
national security rules on Hong Kong, his campaign said on Wednesday,
and accused President Donald Trump of having “enabled” Beijing’s curbs
on freedoms in the former British colony.
He said the former vice president would rally American allies to pressure China, leverage he said Trump had “forfeited,” and criticized the Republican president for praising leader Xi Jinping in the face of pro-democracy protests that shook the territory last year.
A Biden administration would “fully enforce” the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, “including sanctions on officials, financial institutions, companies and individuals,” Blinken said in a statement.
