Hoa Kỳ đấu tranh cho một Ấn Độ – Thái Bình Dương mở rộng và tự do. Ngày nay chúng tôi củng cố chính sách của nước Mỹ trong một phần quan trọng và có nhiều tranh chấp ở vùng đó – Biển Đông. Chúng tôi nói rõ: Những luận điệu của Bắc Kinh về những tài nguyên ngoài biển trải dài hầu hết Biển Đông là hoàn toàn phi pháp, cũng như chiến dịch bắt nạt để kiểm soát những tài nguyên đó.

Tại Biển Đông, chúng tôi tìm cách bảo tồn hòa bình và ổn định, duy trì tự do trong cung cách phù hợp với luật pháp quốc tế, bảo vệ luồng chảy thương mại thông suốt, và chống lại mọi nổ lực dùng áp bức và vũ lực để giải quyết các tranh chấp. Chúng tôi chia sẻ những quan tâm vĩnh cửu và sâu sắc này với nhiều đồng minh và đối tác đã từ lâu tán thành một trật tự quốc tế trọng pháp.

Secretary of United State Mike Pompeo on Monday announced a formal rejection of “most” of China’s maritime claims in the South China Sea, marking the turning point as Washington officially directs to Beijing’s ambition to assert control in the strategic waters.

Accordingly, the administration presented the decision as an attempt to curb China’s increasing assertiveness in the region with a commitment to recognizing international law. But it will almost certainly have the more immediate effect of further infuriating the Chinese, who are already retaliating against numerous U.S. sanctions and other penalties on other matters.The Trump administration escalated its actions against China on Monday by stepping squarely into one of the most sensitive regional issues dividing them and rejecting outright nearly all of Beijing’s significant maritime claims in the South China Sea, reported Military Times.

U.S. Weighs Sweeping Travel Ban on Chinese Communist Party Members

The presidential order under consideration would be based on the same statute in the Immigration and Nationality Act used in a 2017 travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries.

The Trump administration is considering a sweeping ban on travel to the United States by members of the Chinese Communist Party and their families, according to people familiar with the proposal, a move that would almost certainly prompt retaliation against Americans seeking to enter or remain in China and exacerbate tensions between the two nations.

The presidential proclamation, still in draft form, could also authorize the United States government to revoke the visas of party members and their families who are already in the country, leading to their expulsion. Some proposed language is also aimed at limiting travel to the United States by members of the People’s Liberation Army and executives at state-owned enterprises, though many of them are likely to also be party members.

U.S. Department of State Imposes Visa Restrictions on Chinese Communist Party Officials for Undermining Hong Kong’s High Degree of Autonomy and Restricting Human Rights

US State Department

President Trump promised to punish the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials who were responsible for eviscerating Hong Kong’s freedoms.  Today, we are taking action to do just that.

The CCP has stepped up efforts to undermine Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy by announcing Beijing’s authority to “supervise” Hong Kong’s governance, accusing at least one member of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council of misconduct, and moving to unilaterally and arbitrarily impose national security legislation on Hong Kong.  Beijing’s continued actions undermine its commitments and obligations in the Sino-British Joint Declaration to respect Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy.  At the same time, Beijing continues to undermine human rights and fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong by putting pressure on local authorities to arrest pro-democracy activists and disqualify pro-democracy electoral candidates.
