EU wants to renew sanctions

The European Union is very likely to renew its sanctions for human rights violations against Chinese officials and one organization. According to information from EU circles, the Committee of Permanent Representatives has already confirmed the renewal of punitive measures. The renewal of sanctions is expected to be approved at a meeting of EU ministers in early December. The ministers usually follow the recommendation of the EU representatives. There was little chance of changing the punitive measures because the situation in Xinjiang had not changed significantly, the South China Morning Post quoted several EU diplomats as saying.
