According to the sanctions, McCaul will not receive an entry visa if he asks for it. His "movable property, immovable property, and other kinds of property within the territory of China" have been frozen.
Additionally, local individuals and organizations have been forbidden from any type of cooperation with McCaul.
McCaul visited Taiwan earlier this month and met with its leader Tsai Ing-wen.
In response, China held military drills near the island. Meanwhile, the White House insisted the US does not support Taiwan's independence.

China’s foreign ministry on Thursday sanctioned chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCaul for visiting Taiwan, saying he had sent a “serious wrong signal to Taiwan independence separatist forces.”
ReplyDeleteChina views democratically-governed Taiwan as its own territory and strongly objects to all high-level engagements between foreign and Taiwanese officials, especially if it involves Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.
McCaul visited Taipei last week and met Tsai, pledging to help provide training for Taiwan’s armed forces and to speed up the delivery of weapons.
