Why NY Chinese Consulate Shreds Docs; US Sanctions HK Officials & Releases Their Private Information

The US ban on TikTok is now going through, and will now include a partial ban on WeChat as well

If you haven't heard...



The US Department of Treasury has imposed sanctions on Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong,
and 10 other individuals for “for undermining Hong Kong’s autonomy and restricting the freedom of
expression or assembly of the citizens of Hong Kong.”

Meanwhile, the Chinese consulate in New York is destroying documents on a large scale. Around noon
on August 6, two shredding trucks from a company, “USA shred” were seen parked in front of the gate
of the Chinese Consulate in New York, and videos showed them destroying bins of files for consulate workers.

President Donald Trump signed executive orders to ban US companies from transactions with the
parent companies of these two Chinese social media apps, Bytedance and Tencent Holdings, respectively,
on the grounds of national security concerns.
