That's great, but personally speaking Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan I'd prefer you to be in #London focusing on the issues in London. For example, knife crime, phone thefts, and homelessness. Thanks. A Londoner. (And how is a round trip to #Brazil helping climate change. Heard of ZOOM?)
Pleased to meet Senator Marco Lombardo in #Italy ๐ฎ๐น yesterday. We had constructive conversations about #China and #HongKong, political and academic interference and the fight against the weakening of democracy and democratic institutions. Thank you for your time and support.๐๐๐
Today was an important moment for Taiwan ๐น๐ผ and Iโm deeply proud of my Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) team for making it happen. We are not afraid, and we will not stop.

Our Director Mark Sabah responds to new #China spy revelations on BBC News (World): โWhat better chance for the British govt to show Beijing that we will not be pushed around than by blocking the Chinese mega embassy? "MI5 said it was a bad idea, Tower Hamlets Council rejected it.
Today I spoke to BBC News (UK) about the ongoing #China spy scandal in the UK. British Gov must take these antagonistic behaviours seriously. The #HKETO must be shut, Chinese mega-Embassy must be shelved and its time to take concrete steps to stop China seeing the #UK as a soft touch.
