BREAKING: #IPAC 🇪🇺 MEPs slam EU-China #CAI investment deal after arrest of over 50 Hong Kong activists. [THREAD] Former Belgian Prime Minister and IPAC member Guy Verhofstadt MEP says the EP will "never ratify" #CAI until human rights situation improves. x.com/guyverhofstadt…
Extraordinary that World Health Organization (WHO) allows itself to be used in this way. Only a few weeks ago the Chinese government said of the inquiry: "It is not an investigation".
“Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯, chief executive of Hong Kong Watch, described the tactics as outrageous, adding: ‘I have never seen a government so afraid to do the right thing’.”
Managing expectations: Government has prevented a vote on the #GenocideAmendment so only one vote counts today: The vote on Sir Bob Neill KC (Hon) wrecking amendment. If it passes, we put courts back in when it goes to the Lords. If it fails, we put entire amendment back in the Lords. 👏
We Bar Human Rights Committee of England & Wales join 20 groups supporting historic #GenocideAmendment. Over recent years, the world has seen egregious #humanrights violations against Rohingya, Uyghur & Yazidi people. UK Govt policy is for genocide to be legally determined in a court. This fills the gap.
THREAD: 1. @Foreignpolicy published an article by former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan Doug Bandow, suggesting a more engaging policy to China. Since he mentioned my comments, I'd like to respond to a few of his points on the grand strategy to China.
