Two EU diplomats say has agreed to blacklist several Chinese officials for human rights abuses. The sanctions are the first since the European Union imposed an arms embargo on Beijing in 1989 following the Tiananmen Square crackdown. According to the foreign news agency 'Reuters', the EU diplomats approved the imposition of travel bans on four Chinese officials and a company and the freezing of assets. The names of the individuals and the company will not be revealed until the formal approval of the EU foreign ministers on March 22. "Steps have been taken to curb serious human rights abuses and violence," said a bloc diplomat. EU diplomats say "Chinese officials have been accused of human rights abuses against the Uighur Muslim minority." He said the move reflects serious concerns about the Uighurs in Europe, the United States and Canada. The European Union last imposed sanctions on its second trading partner, China, in June 1989, and imposed an arms embargo on Beijing, which is still in place. Social workers and UN rights experts say at least one million Muslims are being held in camps in China's remote western region of Xinjiang. Social activists and some Western politicians accuse China of torturing, forcing and sterilizing Muslims. After Canada and the United States, the Dutch parliament also called China's treatment of Uighurs genocide, which China rejected. The Chinese mission to the European Union reprinted on Twitter a statement by Chinese Ambassador Zhang Ming regarding the new sanctions, saying "Beijing will not change its policies." "Sanctions are confrontational, we want negotiations, not confrontation. We will ask the EU to reconsider its decision. If anyone insists on confrontation, we will not back down and we have the people," the Chinese mission said. There will be no other way but to fulfill our responsibilities. China denies any human rights abuses in Xinjiang, saying the camps provide vocational training and are needed to combat extremism. The diplomats said the 11 names approved by the European Union included officials from Russia, Libya, South Sudan and North Korea.
