Washington, June 26

The US on Friday announced visa restrictions on officials of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), accusing them of undermining human rights in Hong Kong. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he was carrying out President Donald Trump’s orders.

“I am announcing visa restrictions on current and former CCP officials who are believed to be responsible for or complicit in undermining Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy, as guaranteed in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration,” he said.

Family members of such persons might also be subject to these restrictions, Pompeo said. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
