QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE:
"Rubio proposes sanctions including asset freezes, travel bans, and visa restrictions on any Chinese person who contributes to construction or development projects in any contested area of the South China Sea, or who is complicit in actions or policies that threaten stability of those areas. Interpreted broadly, that would target everybody from Chinese coast guard and naval personnel to construction firms to fleets of Chinese fishermen who informally patrol far-flung waters."
