The US is set to impose further sanctions on RUSSIA and CHINA on Dec. 9 for alleged human rights violations by both countries and Beijing's support for illegal fishing in the Pacific, The Wall Street Journal and BLOOMBERG report, citing sources.

According to the interlocutors, it is expected that sanctions against Russia will affect the purchase of weapons, especially unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition, the WSJ writes, restrictions are provided against the Russian Central Election Commission and the Russians, whom the United States considers responsible for "filtration camps for Ukrainians."

The Russian embassy in the United States denied the data of the American media about the creation of "filtration camps" in the Donbass for residents of Ukraine. “The press operates on the principle “in the information war, all means are good,” the diplomatic mission explained. Diplomats said that these were checkpoints for civilians leaving the combat zone, while the Russian military only "thoroughly inspect vehicles heading to safe regions."

The Foreign Ministry believes that the United States intends to cause a default in Russia by cutting off investments from the West and depleting foreign currency reserves, TASS reports. “Not only did the Americans raiderly seize part of the Russian foreign exchange reserves placed in US banks, they are also trying to instruct us that payments on the state debt be made from EXPORT earnings,” said Deputy Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

Sanctions against Chinese companies will cover violations of the rights of Tibetans and Beijing's alleged support for illegal activities in the Pacific. Most of the sanctions will be imposed in accordance with the Magnitsky Act, the WSJ and Bloomberg sources noted, we are talking about about 170 companies.

The Magnitsky Act was adopted in the United States in 2012, it allows you to impose sanctions against people involved in the violation of human rights. Initially, it was directed against those who, according to Washington, were involved in the death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a pre-trial detention center in Russia. In 2016, then-US President Barack Obama gave the law a global status, extending its application to other countries.

Those who fall under sanctions will freeze any assets in American jurisdiction, entry into the United States will be prohibited, and companies' access to world markets will be limited.

The US Congress pointed out that China's fishing industry harms the ecosystem, and fishing boats are used for political purposes.

"China's national and local governments are recruiting some commercial fishing boats for navy militias," the Congressional Research Service (CRS) said in an April report to lawmakers. Chinese officials "require that they operate in certain waters to protect the rights of national sovereignty, participate in the defense of sovereignty, and also support the Chinese army in combat," CRS said in a statement.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning, commenting on possible US sanctions, said that Washington does not have the right to impose restrictions on other countries at its discretion.
