Results are in: @Twitter is fine with @ChineseEmbinUS celebration of anti-Uyghur atrocities.
It’s time Twitter executives were dragged to parliament to answer for this disgraceful insult to the #Uyghur people.

Time to wake up and face the truth about #China. Thanks @MaajidNawaz for continually shining a light.
Also prizes for Cantonese speakers who can make out what’s on my t-shirt.

Find me a scene that better expresses the worst aspects of modern Britain that a policeman traipsing onto the Sanctuary on the most solemn day of the Christian year threatening people with fines for going to church a day after zero COVID deaths were reported in London.

🚨New pictures showing the #PillarofShame veiled from view at #HKU
Not content with banning Tiananmen vigils. Not content with tearing down monuments. They can’t even bear to let you look.
Let’s honour the memory of those they would like you to forget ➡️ June 4th 2022. 🕯

Latest piece of authoritarianism from #CarrieLam’s cronies to the HK Civil Service:
“Pledge allegiance to Beijing or get out”

Still some pockets of open resistance in #HK - this photo from a friend. Would love to have a drink there together. One day....

Daughter had a nasty fall yesterday at school, so I had to take her to work.
Two years ago an anonymous HKer sent this 🐸 from 🇭🇰 (symbol has different connotations in HK/ not associated with ‘hate’ in any way).
It was the only thing that comforted her!

BREAKING: cross-party peers table amendment to the Trade Bill which:
👉Revokes trade arrangements made with states committing genocide
👉Creates a mechanism for the UK to make a preliminary determination of genocide.
We don’t want trade deals with genocidal states.

If China were truly a “leading member of the international community” as UK Ministers insist, Party-State bodies would not post openly racist content on their social media accounts, mocking India’s dead. twitter.com/niubi/status/1…

Straight out of the CCP play book. Private call with friendly institution over which 🇨🇳 has massive leverage, and the key takeaway from the victim is “be quiet now”.
This cannot be considered proof that she is either well or safe. #freepengshuai twitter.com/karolosgrohman…

Absolutely heartbreaking thread. twitter.com/eliotcxchen/st…

One of the most courageous people in the world.
Grandma Wong’s only crime is to demand the fulfilment of the promises made to #HongKong by Beijing AND the UK. And to do it without a shred of fear.

Bafflingly, today @sra_solicitors let off Junius Ho after a 5 day hearing.
Key points:
1. Junius admitted “kill without mercy” comment was wrong
2. Junius had to pay his own fees (circa £50k)
3. Prosecution didn’t seek any evidence from me at any point
4. I’m not dropping it

Xi seized #HongKong. Got away with it. Now boasting about it.
Perpetrated #Uyghur genocide. Got away with it.
We’ve learned no lessons. When he comes for #Taiwan, we will have ourselves to blame. reuters.com/world/china/ch…

Question for China policy people: how do you “engage” meaningfully when your interlocutor does things like this? twitter.com/SariArhoHavren…

X-Party amendment to Trade Bill preventing the UK pursuing trade deals with genocidal states. Backed by former Supreme Court Justice Lord Hope + many others. Debate+vote on 7th Dec. It must pass.
❗️No trade deals with genocidal states.❗️#Uyghurs

While better than nothing, ‘deeply concerned’ with no concrete follow up only serves as an encouragement to Beijing that their actions carry no consequences. twitter.com/BeijingToBrit/…
