Chinese Foreign Ministry sanctions Michael McCaul, Chairman of US House Foreign Affairs Committee

China "McCall, Taiwan Visit and Interference in China's Internal Affairs"

On the 13th, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced plans to sanction Michael McCaul, a Republican and chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, in relation to Taiwan.

According to major foreign media, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that McCaul would be sanctioned for visiting Taiwan and interfering in China's internal affairs.

Earlier, McCaul visited Taiwan from the 6th to the 8th along with bipartisan members of the U.S. House of Representatives, meeting with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and visiting the Taiwanese Legislative Yuan (parliament).

In an interview with Fox News on the 8th, he revealed the possibility that U.S. troops could be deployed to Taiwan if conflicts in the Taiwan Strait escalate.

In an interview with NBC, he pointed out that $19 billion (approximately 25.1 trillion won) worth of weapons purchased by Taiwan from the U.S. have still not been delivered to Taiwan, saying, "If we want to have deterrence for peace, Taiwan needs to possess these weapons."

Earlier, in response to President Tsai's visit to the U.S. and her meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced sanctions on the Hudson Institute, the Reagan Library, and four related individuals who welcomed President Tsai during her U.S. visit on the 7th, based on the "Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law."

On the same day, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party announced additional sanctions against Hsiao Mei-chin, Taiwan's representative to the U.S., equivalent to an ambassador.
