   China says it will impose sanctions on U.S. officials who have engaged
   in what it described as "nasty behavior" over dealings with Taiwan.

   Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying issued the vow Monday during
   a daily briefing with reporters in Beijing, without mentioning any
   specific individuals or what actions would be taken against them.

   China has vowed to counter a decision madeby outgoingU.S. Secretary of
   State Mike Pompeo issued on [1]January 9 lifting self-imposed
   restrictions on contacts between U.S. diplomats and their Taiwanese
   counterparts, referring to the self-ruled island as "a vibrant
   democracy and reliable partner of the United States."
