The United States has imposed new sanctions on Chinese diplomats, while China has called on the United States to reverse its decision, saying it would respond in the light of the situation.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman has urged the US State Department to reverse its decision. The spokesman said that China has always facilitated the normal activities of US diplomatic missions on its soil in accordance with the law. The United States is seriously violating international law and principles. Under US sanctions, Chinese diplomats must obtain permission from the State Department before attending university and cultural programs. Social media accounts of Chinese embassies and staff will also be checked.
