Speaking of how CCP corrupts the rule-based international order, let’s not forget the sports world. Outrageous case where WADA, which is part of IOC, failed its basic duty to investigate doping Chinese athletes. It’s time the IOC itself to be investigated. nytimes.com/2024/04/20/wor…

China is pushing ever deeper into the Western Hemisphere as this Newsweek investigation of Antigua shows. This is highly strategic territory for the U.S. with major shipping lanes and much more. Despite the seriousness, shades of #Bond villain lair, too: newsweek.com/2024/05/03/chi…

Apple's never-ending grovel to the CCP continues. It's sad that one of the most innovative companies in human history just ruins its own reputation by selling out to one of the most abusive regimes in human history. nytimes.com/2024/04/18/tec…

Together with over 1000 other supporters, I'm calling on Ville de Genève to instal a permanent bust to honour #CaoShunli and all other human rights defenders detained or killed in connection with their international human rights advocacy ishr.ch/latest-updates… ISHR

These days, nothing concerning foreign countries can be discussed without triggering some crazy nationalistic backlash in China. The political environment -- at both the elite and popular levels - is so toxic that it should be a concern for the entire world.

Proposed Apple - Baidu Inc. partnership on #GenerativeAI risks further normalizing #China ’s authoritarian model of digital governance and efforts to standardize its AI technologies at the cost of global human rights. thediplomat.com/2024/04/apple-…

The cruelty exerted on little children for their parents' activism is one of the most unforgivable abuses of the CCP. Unfortunately, it is also extremely effective in silencing critics of the CCP. Read CHRD人权捍卫者's new report on collective punishment: nchrd.org/2024/04/if-i-d…

A classic example of how official Chinese photos of foreign leaders' and CEOs' encounters with Xi put him out front in a commanding posture, holding forth imperial-style w/o bothering to make eye contact with the supplicant foreign leader two steps behind, errand boy-style.

Very sad. Despite concerns with surveillance, I still encourage young Americans - NOT the billionaires, celebrities and politicians that CCP uses to legitimize its abusive rule -- to go to China, because nothing can replace the real-life experience in understanding a country.

We can debate about the extent TikTok sends data to China, how useful the data is, how unique TikTok's data security issue is comparing with other companies, etc. What is undebatable is that this company lies all the time and keeps getting caught but continues to lie.

Rising from the ashes of extreme and gargantuan suffering that was WWII, we humans gathered to build an international system of peace, seeing the system, albeit very flawed, crumbling bit by bit against the backdrop of the existential threat of climate change is just painful.

Today marks one year since human rights lawyer Yu Wensheng & his wife, activist Xu Yan, were arrested in China.

We proudly join Amnesty International, Safeguard Defenders (保护卫士), CHRD人权捍卫者 and 20+ other civil society orgs in demanding their immediate & unconditional release.

This platform is full of either negative news about China or CCP's cringeworthy propaganda about China. Here is a genuinely endearing video about China. Yingge (a folk dance) performers stop to dance to the little girl on the sidewalk, and she does not disappoint!

It was a pleasure to host Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, Rep. Carol Miller, & Yaqiu Wang 王亚秋 to discuss the vital role women play in society and in legislatures. The panel examined concerning regressive moves in China to suppress women’s participation in both the private and public sectors.

Join Women's Foreign Policy Group tonight, where I will speak on CCP's crackdown on women's rights activism and its increased propaganda promoting traditional gender roles. wfpg.org/index.php?opti…

Chinese people are 'obsessed' with what Yellen eats is because they can't talk about anything serious regarding her visits. Under seemingly fun news like this, it is the tragic reality of China: severe censorship.

Appalling comments on Chinese social media regarding a trafficked Vietnamese 'bride' who ran away. The CCP's total failure in addressing the issue is not a bug, but by design. It's a way of mitigating the 35 million more men than women problem resulted from its one-child policy.

I visited Yaqiu Wang 王亚秋 at her Freedom House office in Washington for an in-depth discussion on transnational repression. Transnational repression sounds terrifying, leading Chinese people to refrain from mentioning it, but it’s actually a problem all overseas Chinese face, enacted by

When I comment on posts by Sophie Richardson or Yaqiu Wang 王亚秋 I always hit the wumao jackpot 當我提出任何批評中國的話題的時候，五毛be like

Painful to watch. Chinese working class’s plight in a nutshell. A delivery man was stopped after running a red light and hitting a person. He broke down and kept hitting his head with a helmet: “[I’m] running late,” (which means penalty by delivery app.)
