This is insane. Having messed up their unlocking, the Chinese government is now lifting travel restrictions, which will make damn sure the rest of the world feels the impact of their incompetence.
Incredible that political leaders have no opinion about this. twitter.com/ZichenWanghere…

The UK needs to impose travel restrictions from China, and needs to do it NOW. twitter.com/AFP/status/160…

Hong Kong’s Chief Executive has just been given unprecedented power over HK judiciary, and which lawyers may represent cases in Hong Kong.
Watch as he unilaterally kicks lawyers off cases.
The Sino British Joint Declaration = a distant memory.
Any comment @JamesCleverly? twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

Cardinal Zen at the funeral of #BenedictXVI in Rome today.
He knows politically motivated prosecution awaits him back in #HongKong.
I wish he wouldn’t return. But he will, I am certain.

🇬🇧 totally silent about Beijing’s recent interpretation of Hong Kong’s National Security Law (which further compounds 🇨🇳‘s treaty violations)
Meanwhile 🇬🇧 rolling out the red carpet for some of LegCo’s worst stooges. 🙃
These politicians are NOT going to have a fun visit.😉 twitter.com/Amyau14/status…

This is a joke.
The 🇬🇧 Six Monthly Report on #HongKong fails to condemn another material breach of the Sino British Joint Declaration, but instead says that we want to “work constructively” with those responsible.
That’ll really show ‘em. 🤦♂️

Just attended #LunarNewYear reception at @10DowningStreet with lots of friends.
Delighted that, for the first time, the U.K. has started using Lunar New Year. 🙏🏻

The BNO visa is great. Really.
But it didn’t honour our promise to #HongKong. Our treaty promise was to uphold a “high degree of autonomy” and HK’s way of life.
We failed to honour this promise. And we didn’t do anything to hold Beijing to account for breaking that treaty. twitter.com/ukhomeoffice/s…

An extraordinary privilege to be welcomed into the Tokyo home of Akie Abe, widow of Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, to offer condolences and pay respects with Uyghur friends.

Beijing's behaviour is uniting politicians across the world. #StandTogether

Very glad to see this reported.
I have dealt with cases of Hong Konger BN(O)s who are terrified about renewing their passports, as they have to enter PRC territory, where they could be at risk.
Surely there’s a better way? @SuellaBraverman

🤬 #HongKong making a ministerial visit to the UK.
Let’s get this straight:
🇬🇧 silent on the trial of the 47
🇬🇧 done nothing to hold 🇨🇳 to account for destruction of the Joint Declaration
Now 🇬🇧 wants to hand John Lee a propaganda victory. 🤯

#TikTok getting banned today on Govt phones. Progress. But what about regular users who are exposed to data leakage via data sharing arrangements between TikTok and ByteDance?
@GOVUK should protect 🇬🇧 consumer data from being harvested by the Chinese Communist Party #BanTikTok
