Chinese diplomat admits ripping hair from scalp of Hong Konger in Manchester smh.com.au/world/europe/c…

Much scrutiny lately of 'Chinese police stations' operating on the streets of Britain… What links the 'stations' to British politics, the Chinese Communist Party, an assault in the heart of London, & serious organised crime? This is big. 1/54

This is a sensible move by the US and Australia, given the rising risk of a Chinese invasion of #Taiwan. Plans by U.S. Air Force in cooperaton with Defence Australia to deploy #nuclear capable B-52H bombers to Australia as tensions with #China grow abc.net.au/news/2022-10-3…

1. Many of you know about Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology's leader David Miscavige, who has been missing for over 15 years. Well, I have got a hell of an update for you…

Twitter locked my account for 12 hours after I made a post joking that Elon Musk supports Taiwan Independence (Tesla has a massive factory in Shanghai that depends on massive Chinese government tax breaks)

For God's sake, China cannot remain on the U.N. Human Rights Council.

FCCC statement on the harassment of journalists covering the unrest in Beijing and Shanghai, November 28, 2022:

Remember when everybody tried to call me a racist for holding a sign in Sydney saying “Fuck Xi Jinping”? Now Chinese protestors are chanting “Fuck Xi Jinping” in multiple cities across the country!

Media freedom and freedom to protest must be respected. No country is exempt. The arrest of BBC journalist Edward Lawrence in China is deeply disturbing. Journalists must be able to do their job without intimidation.

And as to this despicable assault on Grandma Wong, I don’t have a curse word strong enough for this scumbag.

1/2 Let’s be clear: John Lee isn’t asking Beijing to “interpret” the law. In order to maintain the fiction of Hong Kong autonomy, Beijing is telling John Lee to begin a process by which Beijing will formally declare that it will ignore a court ruling. The result is preordained.

2/2 There’s no judicial independence when the government can simply ignore final rulings against it. There’s no rule of law when the government can decide it doesn’t like the laws restricting its exercise of power. Stop pretending there’s still uncertainty. Autonomy is dead.

Hong Kongers are on the front line of the fight for liberal democracy. Britain has a historic, legal and political responsibility to BNOs who need to seek refuge here in the face of Beijing's oppression. I've asked the Immigration Minister to keep promises his predecessor made.

Give. Ukraine. All. Those. Damn. Tanks.

News the Scottish Government is getting closer to a Chinese state-sponsored media organisation WeChat and other organs of the Chinese state should be very worrying. Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) has repeatedly pointed out the risks of such links with Chinese companies. mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/s…

This is Mursal Nabizadah. She was a former Member of Parliament in Afghanistan and was shot dead in her home last night in Kabul by armed men, alongside her bodyguards. Taliban ruled-Afghanistan is no longer a place for women. For humanity. For life.

South Korea is a country run by older men. Below, a gathering of leaders and senior officials from national and local governments. Not a woman in sight.

1. Living in the UK as a refugee, and one of the hundreds of thousands of Hongkongers, I believe the best way to facilitate social cohesion and ethnic harmony is by sharing our culture. That's why I founded a non-profit Hong Kong Umbrella Community and launched Hong Kong March. Come join us.🥂
