Targeted foreign persons determined to undermine Hong Kong's autonomy or the freedoms of its residents, including officials involved in developing and implementing the national security law, under Executive Order 13936 and the Hong Kong Autonomy Act. Designated persons had their US assets blocked and designated individuals were barred from entry into the United States. The national emergency declared in EO 13936 expired on July 14, 2026; persons blocked solely under the order have been removed from the SDN List, while persons who remain sanctioned under the Hong Kong Autonomy Act have been moved to the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List, with assets blocked before that date remaining blocked.
