On July 2, 2021, the U.S. announced that it was imposing additional sanctions on the Myanmar military regime. A statement by Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken issued on that same date indicated that the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Assets Control designated 22 people under Executive Order 14014. The statement also noted that the Department of Commerce added Wanbao Mining Ltd., two of its subsidiaries, and King Royal Technologies to its entities list because of their "revenue and/or other support to the Burmese military." Secretary Blinken stated, "[t]oday's measures further demonstrate that we will continue to take additional action against, and impose costs on, the military and its leaders until they reverse course and provide for a return to democracy."
