response, China also announced sanctions against 10 European Union politicians and four entities, namely the Political and Security Committee of the Council of the European Union,


Subcommittee on Human Rights of the European Parliament, the Mercator Institute for China Studies, and the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, for allegedly spreading “lies and
