China has imposed further sanctions on Hsiao Bi-khim, Taiwan’s de facto ambassador to the US, prohibiting her and family members from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau, state media reported on Friday.

The sanctions, announced by China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, also ban investors and firms related to Hsiao from cooperating with mainland organisations and individuals.

They come after Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during a stopover in the US this week.

In addition, China’s Foreign Ministry announced steps against the US’ Hudson Institute and Reagan Library and their heads, saying both institutions provided a platform and facilities for what it called Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s separatist activities.

The ministry said it has immediately restricted universities, institutions, and other organisations and individuals in China from engaging and cooperating with the Hudson Institute and Reagan Library and their leaders.
