日常都要靠老婆。

包括特首林鄭月娥在內29名中港官員或前官員,被美國以《港區國安法》實施為由制裁,財務機構不能與被制裁人士進行交易,否則面臨嚴厲懲罰。《南華早報》今日報道,一名不願具名的被制裁官員稱,被美國制裁後,銀行要求他關閉戶口和停用信用卡,而政府只能把他的薪金存入妻子戶口。
該名被制裁官員表示,停用信用卡後,日常生活只可以用現金或八達通,而電話費等所有日常生活開支、外出用膳的花費都需要妻子支付,坦言日常生活都必須依靠妻子。他感嘆,「這太荒謬了。我們在香港實施法律以懲處違法者,但卻受到另一個國家的制裁(It is ridiculous. We implement the law in Hong Kong to punish lawbreakers, but we are being sanctioned by another country)」。
報道引述第二名被制裁官員表示,現時與林鄭「同坐一條船(in the same boat )」但他未有透露只否如林鄭一般將大量現金收藏在家中。另有一名被制裁官員稱,其採用的銀行未有即時取消其服務,僅限制其網上銀行、信用卡及國際匯款。報道指出,所有接受訪問的官員均未有透露銀行名稱,但表示一間內地銀行有參與在內。

High-ranking officials who have been sanctioned by the US and those who have not yet made it on the list have each responded, one after another, in a “One Country, One System” tone of voice. Apart from "resolutely opposed" and "severely condemned," they have not addressed the reasons behind the US’ decision for the sanctions. They say it is an honor to be sanctioned for the cause of the nation. Some simply issued statements in simplified Chinese characters, clearly not targeted at the Hong Kong people. The most ludicrous is that Carrie Lam said she was planning to proactively cancel her US visa that expires in 2026 anyways. It turns out that she cannot enter the US border because she “voluntarily canceled” it herself. Her Ah-Q-style, self-consoling spirit does not die!
An honor or a disgrace, it really depends on who issued the sanction. To be sanctioned by North Korea, Cuba, Russia or China is not the same as being sanctioned by the US. As such, feelings of glory or humiliation should be the opposite too. Some international experts and finance experts analyzed that the strictest clause is to “prohibit all transactions by US persons or within (or transiting) the US that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons.” If genuinely implemented, it would mean that the bank accounts and credit cards of sanctioned individuals will be canceled, their Facebook accounts will be shut down, McDonald’s cannot sell them Happy Meals, they cannot buy iPhones from Apple and cannot enjoy original factory maintenance services, etc. It is said that even China-funded banks will be black-listed because China-funded banks also have branches in the US. It is still uncertain whether these will be the case because never before have sanctioned individuals come from an international finance center such as Hong Kong. Although it is undetermined, the concerned parties cannot but consider the implications and countermeasures if confirmed. It is embarrassing enough just not to be able to use a credit card.
In 1969, the Soviet Union wanted to carry out a “surgical strike” on China’s nuclear base. It tried to gauge the reaction of the US, but the US halted them to stop. Why did not the Soviet Union test the water with other nuclear-weapon states such as the UK and France? This is because the US military power is strong enough to contain reckless military actions by other countries.
In 1971, Henry Kissinger made a secret visit to China and the Sino-US relations achieved a major breakthrough. That year, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly passed a motion to admit the entry of China in the UN. How is it that China had struggled for more than two decades to join the UN but managed to win the resolution this round? This is because the US had changed its China policy.
In 2000, the US granted China permanent normal trade relations status. The following year, China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) and has since found prospering opportunities to become the World’s Factory in the global market. Why had China not been able to enter the WTO for so many years? This is because the US did not grant China this permanent normal trade status until this time.
When China and the US commenced diplomatic relations in 1979, Deng Xiaoping visited the US and said to his accompanying associate on the plane: “Looking back over the past few decades, all countries that have good relations with the US have prospered.” China has indeed thrived. What Deng did not say was that the countries that have unfriendly relations with the US have pauperized, such as Cuba, China before 1976, and even the Soviet Union, which had only strategic weapons, and its people had to line up to buy bread.
The Cold War after the Second World War was led by the US, and other Western countries followed. The US has always been the trending global leader with its national power, system, technology, dollar hegemony, pop culture, and free spirit. It is not that the US does not make mistakes, but its system and the spirit of freedom make it capable of correcting its mistakes. The US began the wave of diplomatic relations between Western countries and China in the 1970s, and the trend of investing in China in the 21st century. Without the US, China would still be isolated and impoverished. The US is now making amends and starting an ultra-cold war with China, which seems to have also shown a trend-setting momentum.
So, are sanctions the new direction? At least the Five Eyes Alliance will follow subsequently. Stop deceiving yourself with “I have no assets in the US” and “I do not want to go to the US.”
Therefore, not only eleven individuals and their families suffered insomnia last Friday night, but also some followers and those who did things against their conscience. Returning officers responsible for disqualifying nominees, wicked police officers, 18 members of the Council of the University of Hong Kong, and those who claimed not patriotic enough to make it to the first sanction list and not able to enjoy the honor. I’m afraid they did not get a wink of sleep either or at least suffered anxiety because only an idiot cannot see the true powers and the direction of the world trends.
The humiliation brought about by being cut off from US companies, the immediate considerations of various inconveniences, the spread of sanction from the US to other civilized countries, the devastating impact on the will to govern subordinates and the entire ruling team, and many more. These will not just happen overnight but will come one after another and very soon. The responses of the sanctioned high-level officials are really just nightcrawlers whistling.

"Just laugh it off"
由《Financial Times》頭版頭條到《The Guardian》國際版,好多呢個人呀!
英國五大傳媒金句,
《BBC》
//She told reporters she would "just laugh it off" if the US sanctioned her.//
(佢同記者講,如果美國制裁佢,只會「一笑置之」。)
《The Guardian》
//It is relatively unusual for Washington to directly a sanction the leader of a country or region and the move puts Lam in company with Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.//
(美國制裁一個國家或地區嘅領袖係好少見㗎,阿林係委內瑞拉總統同伊朗最高領袖之後嘅一位。)
《Financial Times》
//The dual moves mark a serious escalation in the US effort to push back against China over everything from its economic practices and espionage to alleged human and civil rights abuses in places such as Xinjiang and Hong Kong.//
(TikTok同WeChat嘅行政命令之後加上今日嘅制裁,代表美國將中國嘅經濟所為同滲透到侵犯人權問題,全方位咁針對到返唔到轉頭嘅地步。)
《The Telegraph》
//The move also criminalises any US financial transactions with them.//
(任何美國金融機構同佢地交易都會被刑事化。)
《The Reuters》
//The Hong Kong move could cause angst among banks as they try to determine what transactions would be allowed under the sanctions, even though the action did not appear to block dealings with the Hong Kong government. //
(依家啲銀行就會好擔憂喇,雖然制裁無禁止同香港政府交易,但係佢地要諗下邊啲得同唔得。)
咁金拱門同上校雞會唔會擔心呢?可唔可以賣外賣比政府同警察㗎?

The U.S. sanctioned 33 Chinese companies over human rights violations against Uighurs.
美國決定,懲罰 33 家中國公司,因為這些公司,打壓少數族群!這些公司就是中國政府把持的啦,他們打壓虐待新疆維吾爾族等少數民族。這些中國公司,有一些是做人工智慧和臉部辨識的,一些高科技公司。而這些高科技產品,可能是拿來監視少數族群的,很惡劣。這些中國公司想製造產品,需要美國的科技及零件,才做得出來,所以美國就抽手,不幫你們了,讓中國公司運轉不下去。這就是一種制裁 sanction。

第二個單字是 give the go-ahead、g-i-v-e 空格 t-h-e 空格 a-h-e-a-d 、give the go-ahead 批准,例句是:
Costa Rica gave the go-ahead to same-sex marriages on Tuesday, making it the first country in Central America to do so.
恭喜哥斯大黎加,喜迎第一場同性婚姻!!!在中美洲國家之中,哥斯大黎加是 No.1,第一個通過同婚的國家~ 婚禮超級熱血的喔,凌晨 12 點,法案一通過,就立刻在半夜舉行。批准,就是 give the go-ahead。

尚比亞總統特赦上千名罪犯,其中包含一對同性伴侶。這對同性伴侶為什麼被關?只因為他們是同志。這個非洲國家非常保守,同性戀就是罪,會被抓去關的,而且這位總統歧視同志,所以還是要持續監督跟觀察。赦免就是 pardon。
