The Golden Era died today. As did the mythical “China dove”. RIP.
Now let’s get on with resuscitating the international order. twitter.com/BorisJohnson/s…

Hope that @MFA_China ridiculous behaviour today will precipitate the UK’s long overdue sanction of #ChenQuanguo - the butcher of Xinjiang and Tibet.
Ludicrous that this hasn’t already happened.

Hearing that @BorisJohnson and @POTUS are speaking later today and that China’s sanctions against parliamentarians and others will be raised on the call.

Any followers (institutions and individuals) who want to help build a campaign to confront anti-Asian racism please DM.
631
Hearing that the @hkpoliceforce is about to classify involvement with the #PolyU protests as #Terrorism.
Ludicrous. But if true, we should all brace for a second purge.
632
Outrageous. Won’t work. twitter.com/jamespomfret/s…
633
Disturbing update. We are expected to believe that 6 of the #12HKYouths don’t want their family lawyers? And why hasn’t the location of all of them been disclosed?
Something is going on. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…
634
Andy Li has been charged.
You have done nothing wrong, Andy. Nothing at all. Your charges shame Hong Kong and China. twitter.com/galileocheng/s…
635
#AndyLi has served 7 months in jail in China.
He has now been returned to #HongKong, unlawfully interrogated, and taken by the authorities to an undisclosed location.
They think nobody will notice or care.
They’re wrong. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

BREAKING: U.K. sanctions announced.
No Chen Quanguo?!!
Welcome, but why did the UK have to be embarrassed into doing this by the EU and US? twitter.com/CharlieLoudon/…
638
BREAKING: Parliamentary system mysteriously goes down, delaying proceedings for 30 minutes.
Raab statement now 4pm. Genocide Amendment vote 7:30 (debate 6:30 ish).
🥵
639
#Breaking @Nus_Ghani amendment has been SELECTED by the Speaker!!!
We will get a straight vote on the #GenocideAmendment!!!
Fantastic work, everyone!
640
Whoa. All happening today.
About 3:30pm @DominicRaab announcing sanctions against Chinese officials.
#GenocideAmendment debate expected around 6pm.
Four @ipacglobal Co-Chairs just sanctioned by China. @bueti @MiriamMLex @DSakaliene @SamuelCogolati

#BREAKING: seems likely @DominicRaab is going to announce sanctions of #Uyghur abusing officials today in a bid to head of defeat on #GenocideAmendment
Massive win for this campaign, if so! twitter.com/MrHarryCole/st…
642
📢This is it, folks. The final vote on the #GenocideAmendment is today.
Last opportunity to tweet/write to your MP to ask them to vote with their consciences + for #Uyghurs.
643
👏Board of Deputies of British Jews president pleads with MPs to vote for the #GenocideAmendment ahead of today’s vote, and points out flaws in @neill_bob amendment (which does nothing to help #Uyghurs)
thetimes.co.uk/article/mps-mu…
644
Stanley Johnson, unperturbed by atrocities in the #Uyghur Region or the UK’s obligations to #HongKong intervenes to put pressure on his son @BorisJohnson to ignore them, too.
Pretty ugly stuff.

646
Over 100 leaders from student societies wrote to @DominicRaab to ask him to accept the #GenocideAmendment twitter.com/UyghurStop/sta…
647
ALRIGHT TEAM: just to confuse you a bit more re: #GenocideAmendment @Nus_Ghani has now tabled an amendment to the Gov motion.
If the Speaker selects this amendment (unlikely) then we get a straight vote on the #GenocideAmendment.
649
The most frustrating thing about this is that we aren't even asking them to say #China is committing genocide against #Uyghurs. Just that their policy of "judges, not politicians" determining genocide should be operable. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…
650
#BREAKING: @trussliz and @neill_bob table motion to deny @HouseofCommons a vote on the #GenocideAmendment - insisting on their previous amendment which does not apply to China, and will do nothing for #Uyghurs
