U.S. China-hater Rubio: "Pro-China people are banned from entering"
The U.S. Department of State announced "sanctions against citizens of Central American countries who engage in agency activities for the Communist Party."
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement on local time on the 4th, saying: "We will impose U.S. visa restrictions on nationals of Central American countries who intentionally engage in activities for the Chinese Communist Party within the country, and who instruct, approve, fund or implement actions that undermine the rule of law in the region." This policy will also be applied retroactively to those who have previously participated in such activities.
Rubio added: "The result will be that these individuals and their immediate family members will generally lose the right to enter the United States." However, the U.S. Department of State did not specifically identify which individuals were targeted for what activities.
Therefore, some analysts believe that this move has a strong political purpose, more to send a warning to China and pressure Central American countries, rather than to punish specific illegal acts.
