英语新闻丨中方对美方人员实施反制制裁

China has decided to impose sanctions on some United States lawmakers, government officials and heads of NGOs for their egregious actions on issues related to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.外交部周一表示，针对美方在涉香港特别行政区问题上的恶劣行径，中方决定对部分美国国会议员、政府官员及非政府组织负责人实施制裁。The move is in response to Washington's abuse of illegal and unilateral sanctions on officials representing the central government in Hong Kong and officials of the SAR government, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular news conference in Beijing.外交部发言人郭嘉昆在北京例行记者会上指出，此举是对华盛顿非法单边制裁中央政府驻港机构官员及香港特区官员的坚决回应。On March 31, the US Department of State announced its sanctions against six Chinese officials for allegedly "undermining Hong Kong's autonomy". The sanctions block any transactions on property, funds or deals within the US made by these individuals.3月31日，美国国务院以所谓"破坏香港自治"为由，宣布对六名中国官员实施制裁，冻结其在美国境内的财产交易及资金往来。"The US' unilateral sanctions gravely interfere in China's internal affairs, including Hong Kong affairs, and violate the principles of international law and basic norms governing international relations. China strongly condemns this despicable move," Guo said."美方单边制裁粗暴干涉中国内政，包括香港事务，严重违反国际法原则和国际关系基本准则。中方对此表示强烈谴责，并将坚决反制这种卑劣行径。"郭嘉昆强调。According to the spokesman, China's decision was made in accordance with the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, which was passed in 2021 to counter foreign sanctions. It gives China legal support and guarantee to counter discriminatory measures by a foreign country in accordance with the law.发言人表示，中方此次反制措施依据2021年通过的《反外国制裁法》实施。该法律为依法反制外国歧视性措施提供了法律支撑与制度保障。Guo reminded the US that Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong, and Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs, which "brook no US interference".郭嘉昆向美方严正重申，香港是中国的香港，香港事务纯属中国内政，"绝不容许任何外部势力干涉"。"Any wrong action taken by the US on Hong Kong-related issues will be met with a resolute response and reciprocal countermeasures by China," he said.他强调："美方在涉港问题上任何错误行径都将遭到中方坚决回应和对等反制。"impose sanctions实施制裁NGOs非政府组织；非政府机构egregious/ɪˈɡriːdʒiəs/adj.极坏的brook/brʊk/v.忍受；容忍interfere/ˌɪntəˈfɪə(r)/v.干预；干涉
