China has imposed sanctions on some US congress members, government officials as well as heads of non-governmental organisations for "egregious behaviour on Hong Kong-related issues", its foreign ministry said on Monday.

The sanctions come in response to the US sanctioning six Chinese and Hong Kong officials last month, which Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said China "strongly condemns".

"Any wrong action taken by the US side on the Hong Kong-related issue will be met with resolute and reciprocal counteraction by the Chinese side," Guo said.
