This is a Russian state media article however I think it explains well of the EU-China sanctions dynamics.
Basically the low ranking Xinjiang official sanctioned means that the EU doesn't have the appetite to go further in sanctioning. So the US took the deal and sanctioned these low officials.
Good analysis from RT on this one
Look at its contributor, Tom Fowdy who is a British writer and analyst of politics and international relations with a primary focus on East Asia. This author contributes article frequently at RT.
Right, sharp eyes by Fowdy... why the Five Eyes is now turning into Three Eyes? lol
I also felt perplexed when I noticed Australia and New Zealand were absent from the coordinated sanctions... oh dear, they still wanna sell stuffs to the Chinese and they are aware of their postures! Good article!
