This is very welcome, but why does it need the US government to tell the Starmer govt the blindingly obvious - that the proposed giant new Chinese embassy is a monumental security risk? #china #chinaembassy thetimes.com/article/88c5e5…

A pleasure to join Louis Sykes on Times Radio Putin Files talking about the revelations that Russia is paranoid about #china spies. So much for the ‘no limits’ partnership youtube.com/playlist?list=…

'Donald's right' said the president of the European Commission at the G7 this week, talking about China's predatory trade practices and Trump's response. As I argue in the Spectator, Ursula von der Leyen may have finally seen the light on #China spectator.co.uk/article/has-ur…

A chilling demonstration of the reach of the CCP in British universities

Congratulations to Barbara Demick for Daughters of the Bamboo Grove, her powerful new book on #China one-child policy, which inspired my Daily Mail feature on the lasting legacy of one of the cruellest, misguided and costliest policies a govt has ever imposed on its people

Looking forward enormously to talking at the FCCThai next Wednesday about my new book. Understanding #china predatory economy and the global battle for tech supremacy is more important than ever. fccthai.com/events/517

A big thank you to everybody who came to the FCCThai Wednesday for my book talk. China is such an important issue right now, and understanding its predatory economy is more important than ever. Good to be back in Thailand and catching up with old friends.

Is China cooking the books on its economy? ✍️ Ian Williams spectator.co.uk/article/is-chi…

So #china says economy grew 5.2% in the quarter to June & most commentators took that at face value. Wake up! CCP stats are political, not economic, more so that ever, and as I explain in The Spectator they need to be treated with a huge does of scepticism spectator.co.uk/article/is-chi…

Wonderful to catch up with ⁦吾爾開希 Wu'er Kaixi⁩ in Taichung, Taiwan. The exiled Chinese dissident and former Tiananmen Square student leader is an inspiration for those fighting for human rights in #china

It's generally agreed UK needs more #China expertise - from understanding the place to speaking Mandarin. But as I ask in The Spectator what if institutions charged with improving capabilities are captured by the Chinese communist party? UK-China Transparency spectator.co.uk/article/can-ch…

Ministers are considering selling Thames Water to a Chinese company, albeit one based in Hong Kong, but in the cross-hairs of the communist party. Has the govt learned nothing? #china #thameswater dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

Head of Communist Party’s Int Dept has disappeared. deputy may have been nabbed. Few tears will be shed for man with thuggish past, whose latest job was influence abroad. What does Xi’s latest purge tell us? #china #corruption ⁦Safeguard Defenders (保护卫士)⁩ spectator.co.uk/article/xis-pu…
