China on Tuesday announced sanctions on seven alleged independence "die-hard" Taiwanese politicians and officials, including Taipei's representative to Washington, amid concerns over the increasing visits by foreign dignitaries to the self-ruled island claimed by Beijing. The sanctions were announced by Beijing following trips to the island by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in early August.
