China has warned the United States that it would "strike back" in response to any "reckless" actions, urging Washington to withdraw its recent passing of sanctions targeting people and entities tied to human rights abuses committed by Beijing.
The US imposed sweeping human rights-related sanctions on Friday against Chinese individuals and entities, adding individuals and entities tied to Myanmar, North Korea and Bangladesh.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin denounced the sanctions as "perverse actions".
"We urge the US to immediately withdraw the relevant wrong decision and stop interfering in China's internal affairs and harming China's interests.
"If the US acts recklessly, China will take effective measures to strike back resolutely," Wang said during a news conference in Beijing on Monday.
