[NTD News November 17, 2021, Beijing time]Last year, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam and other Chinese and Hong Kong officials were sanctioned by the United States. The sanctions included restrictions on entry. Lam Cheng later claimed that he had no intention of visiting the United States. But she recently revealed that the US government had rejected her visa application for visiting the US as the first Hong Kong to visit the United States.

According to a report by Radio Hong Kong, before Lam Cheng attended the executive meeting on Tuesday (November 16), he was asked by reporters why the Hong Kong government refused to renew work visas for reporters from the British “Economist”. Lin Zheng replied that the approval of visas is “a government’s autonomy.”

She also used herself as an example to illustrate that as the chief executive of Hong Kong, she was rejected when she applied for a US visa. This is the autonomy of the US government.

On August 7, 2020, the US Trump administration announced sanctions on 11 CCP and Hong Kong officials including Carrie Lam, including freezing their assets in the United States and prohibiting entry into the United States. At that time, Carrie Lam declared that she “has no plan to visit the United States.”

According to a CCTV report, Lin Zheng stated at the time that her visa to visit the United States is valid until 2026. Since she “does not want to go to this country”, she can “actively cancel” the visa.

Lin Zheng did not disclose whether she had a valid US visa and whether the visa she applied for was an official visa or a private visa. According to previous media reports, her second son Lin Yuexi had studied in the United States.
