财政部制裁与新疆严重践踏人权行为有关联的中国政府官员
华盛顿—今天，美国财政部（U.S. Department of the Treasury）外国资产管制办公室（Office of Foreign Assets Control）对两名与严重践踏新疆维吾尔自治区少数民族人权的行为有关联的现任官员实施制裁。认定的制裁对象包括王君正，新疆生产建设兵团党委书记，以及陈明国，新疆公安厅厅长。对上述人员的认定根据倡导和执行全球马格尼茨基人权问责法（Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act）的13818号行政命令（Executive Order 13818）实施，制裁对象是严重践踏人权和从事腐败的涉案人员。美国坚持通过本身拥有的一切金融力量，要求在新疆严重践踏人权的有关人员承担责任。
外国财产管制办公室主任安德烈亚·加奇（Andrea M. Gacki）说，“在新疆的暴行存在的情况下，中国当局将继续承担后果”。“财政部坚持要求中国政府对践踏人权的行为负责，包括对维吾尔人和其他少数民族的任意拘押和酷刑。”
财政部今天的行动还与欧盟（European Union）、英国和加拿大今天对上述人员和其他人员实施制裁的行动相互配合。美国将继续通过全球马格尼茨基制裁计划反对新疆和世界各地严重践踏人权的行为。通过涉及全球人权事务的各种制裁措施采取相互配合的行动，可以促使志同道合的伙伴建立联合战线，对践踏人权的人员进行识别、追究责任并阻止其进入国际金融体系。
新疆严重践踏人权的行为 
鉴于王君正和陈明国在新疆生产建设兵团和新疆公安厅各自从事的工作，他们与新疆严重践踏少数民族人权的行为有联系，据报道涉及任意拘押和严重刑罚等严重践踏新疆维吾尔人、当地某突厥穆斯林群体和该地区其他少数民族人权的行为。
新疆生产建设兵团作为新疆维吾尔自治区的准军事组织附属于中国共产党，2020年7月31日被认定为与严重践踏人权的行为有联系。新疆生产建设兵团通过中国的新疆维吾尔自治区经济发展规划加强了对该地区的内部控制。该规划强调服从中央计划和资源开发。
上述认定是美国政府目前继续采取的最新一次行动，目的在于制止新疆持续严重践踏人权的行为，对一贯镇压少数民族的中方人员和实体加强问责。新疆公安厅于2020年7月9日被认定为对严重践踏人权的行为负有责任，或参与同谋，或间接或直接参与的外国法人。至少自2016年下半年以来，新疆公安厅始终对维吾尔人和该地区其他少数民族采取镇压手段，其中包括大规模拘押和监控。中国的监控对象是宗教少数派和少数民族，因为中国政府视几乎所有的信仰表达为宗教“极端主义”或民族分裂主义。被监控的对象往往受到拘押，并据报道遭受了各种酷刑和“政治再教育”。
王君正，根据13818号行政命令被认定为直接或间接代表或据称代表新疆生产建设兵团。
陈明国， 根据13818号行政命令被认定为作为新疆公安厅负责人或已担任负责人或官员的外国人员。该实体，包括某政府实体，其本身或其成员从事与陈某任期有关的严重践踏人权的行为
制裁的影响
基于今天的行动，上述个人在美国或者在美国人属下或控制下的所有财产和财产利益均被禁封，并且必须向外国资产管制办公室报告。此外，由被禁封的个人或数人直接或间接拥有50%或50%以上的实体也被禁封。除非得到外国资产管制办公室颁布的普通或专门许可，或者得到其他豁免，外国资产管制办公室的规则一般禁止美国人或者在美国境内（或过境）的人进行涉及被列入名单或或其他禁封者的任何财产或财产利益的一切交易。这些禁止包括不得向任何受禁人员或为任何受禁人员的利益做贡献或提供任何资金、物品或服务，或者接受来自任何这类人员的贡献或资金、物品或服务。
《全球马格尼茨基法》
基于《全球马格尼茨基人权问责法》于2017年12月10日颁布的第13818号行政命令（E.O. 13818）指出，源于美国海外的践踏人权和腐败泛滥，在总体或很大程度上，已经达到了威胁国际政治与经济体系稳定的规模和严重程度。践踏人权与腐败损害作为稳定、安全和有效运作的社会的根本基础的价值观；给个人造成灾难性影响；削弱民主机制；松动法治；制造暴力冲突；助长危险人物的活动；并且破坏经济市场。美国寻求使严重践踏人权或参与腐败活动的人承担具体和实质性后果，同时保护美国的金融体系不受这些人的践踏。

Press Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Treasury Sanctions Chinese Government Officials in Connection with Serious Human Rights Abuse in Xinjiang
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned two current Chinese government officials in connection with serious human rights abuses against ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). These designations include Wang Junzheng, the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), and Chen Mingguo, Director of the Xinjiang Public Security Bureau (XPSB). These individuals are designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13818, which builds upon and implements the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and targets perpetrators of serious human rights abuse and corruption. The United States is committed to using the full breadth of its financial powers to promote accountability for the serious human rights abuses occurring in Xinjiang.
“Chinese authorities will continue to face consequences as long as atrocities occur in Xinjiang,” said Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control Andrea M. Gacki. “Treasury is committed to promoting accountability for the Chinese government’s human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention and torture, against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities.”
Today’s Treasury actions complement actions also taken today by the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada, which imposed sanctions on these individuals and others. The United States will continue to play a strong leadership role in global efforts to combat serious human rights abuse in Xinjiang and around the world through the Global Magnitsky sanctions program. Complementary actions using these global human rights sanctions regimes enable
likeminded partners to form a unified front to identify, promote accountability for, and disrupt access to the international financial system by those who abuse human rights.
SERIOUS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE IN XINJIANG
Due to their roles in the XPCC and XPSB, respectively, Wang Junzheng (Wang) and Chen Mingguo (Chen) are connected to serious human rights abuses against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, which reportedly includes arbitrary detention and severe physical abuse, among other serious human rights abuses targeting Uyghurs, a Turkic Muslim population indigenous to Xinjiang, and other ethnic minorities in the region.
The XPCC is a paramilitary organization in the XUAR that is subordinate to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and was designated on July 31, 2020 for its connection to serious human rights abuse. The XPCC enhances internal control over the region by advancing China’s vision of economic development in XUAR that emphasizes subordination to central planning and resource extraction.
These designations are the latest U.S. government actions in an ongoing effort to deter the ongoing serious human rights abuses in Xinjiang and promote accountability for Chinese individuals and entities that perpetuate a campaign of repression against ethnic minorities. The XPSB was designated on July 9, 2020 for being a foreign person responsible for, or complicit in, or that has directly or indirectly engaged in, serious human rights abuse. Since at least late 2016, repressive tactics have been used by the XPSB against the Uyghurs and members of other ethnic minorities in the region, including mass detentions and surveillance. China’s surveillance has targeted members of religious and ethnic minorities, as the Chinese government treats almost all expressions of faith as a sign of religious “extremism” or ethnic separatism. Targets of this surveillance are often detained and reportedly subjected to various methods of torture and “political reeducation.”
Wang is designated pursuant to E.O. 13818 for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the XPCC.
Chen is designated pursuant to E.O. 13818 for being a foreign person who is or has been a leader or official of the XPSB, an entity, including a government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, serious human rights abuse relating to Chen’s tenure.
SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS
As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the persons above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or otherwise exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons. The prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any blocked person or the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
GLOBAL MAGNITSKY
Building upon the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, E.O. 13818 was issued on December 20, 2017, in recognition that the prevalence of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, had reached such scope and gravity as to threaten the stability of international political and economic systems. Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous persons; and undermine economic markets. The United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption, as well as to protect the financial system of the United States from abuse by these same persons.
