China has imposed sanctions on U.S. Representative Jim McGovern, who has been a vocal critic of Chinese policies, particularly regarding Tibet. The sanctions, described as symbolic, freeze his theoretical assets in China and prohibit any engagement with him by organizations or individuals in the country. McGovern, who has no actual assets or business dealings in China, dismissed the sanctions as 'absurd' and stated he would wear them as a 'badge of honor.' He has been active in promoting legislation aimed at addressing human rights issues in Tibet, which President Biden signed into law in July. This move is part of a broader pattern of China sanctioning U.S. lawmakers who challenge its domestic policies. McGovern's legislation, supported by other political figures, seeks to counter Chinese disinformation about Tibet and promote talks with the Dalai Lama, which have not occurred since 2010.
