Calling it: @Beijing2022 has been a catastrophic failure and embarrassment for Xi Jinping. My latest for @Telegraph

It’s high time the “useful idiots” of the International Olympic Committee were hauled before the world’s parliaments to account for their appalling enabling of the CCP’s abuse. What a contrast to the leadership of @WTA #PengShuai olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc-s…

Unfortunately @KingsCollegeLon continues to honour treaty -trashing Cheng who imprisons Hong Kong children for lighting candles.
Happily there is now a parliamentary campaign to make sure this changes.

Shaun is right about this.
Londoners don’t want to pay for #Uyghurs to be oppressed.
@SadiqKhan should order an urgent audit to root out all contractors complicit in atrocities in Western China. twitter.com/ShaunBaileyUK/…

❗️#BREAKING ❗️
@HouseofCommons unanimously passes @Nus_Ghani motion calling on the @GOVUK to assess “serious risk of genocide” in the #Uyghur Region within two months + sanction atrocity architect Chen Quanguo.

#BREAKING @ipacglobal member @timloughton secures full @HouseofCommons debate on a motion proposing diplomatic boycott of @Beijing2022

Happy anniversary, CCP.

Extraordinary thread.
Note the blank pieces of paper. A symbol of defiance against CCP tyranny. Started in Hong Kong (below) now spread throughout China. twitter.com/eefjerammeloo/…

Massive news!! Congrats James and all who worked so hard to make this happen. Including helpful pressure from his #IPAC Co-Chair @kimbakit #Strongertogether @Billbrowder twitter.com/SenPaterson/st…

Anyone else notice a decline in wumao content of late? Hope Xi gets his 50 cents back.

From the MPs - often courageous in the face of whips’ bullying - to the grassroots campaigners and Uyghur, Yazidi, and Holocaust survivors, this is the best campaign I have ever had the privilege to run. We will get there. 🙏🏼 #GenocideAmendment bbc.com/news/uk-politi…

Dear @MFA_China,
@nathanlawkc is not the first and won’t the last.
Britain will continue to “shield” as many as we possibly can, and we’re proud of it. twitter.com/CGTNOfficial/s…

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/…

Crucially important. 131% increase in imports from the #Uyghur Region.
We say we care about ending slavery. We say we care about #Uyghurs.
But our actions speak differently. twitter.com/fbermingham/st…

The #IntegratedReview makes the right noises but is ultimately incoherent re: #China. You can’t categorise a state as a strategic threat AND plan to invest more in it. Just means you reward the threat. Reminiscent of our skewed approach to Magnitsky sanctions: #anyonebutChina twitter.com/MrHarryCole/st…

Extraordinary. The Chinese Consul General here admitting his personal involvement in #BobChan case.
Surely expulsion now imminent @JamesCleverly ? twitter.com/inzyrashid/sta…

Ouch! @ReginaIplau the @spectator didn’t appreciate your hypocritical 🇬🇧 bashing. As ever, thanks to @MrSteerpike for saying it like it is. spectator.co.uk/article/hong-k…

“Largely independently” tells you all you need to know. This has little to do with the rule of law, and a lot to do with massive pressure applied by UK lawyers practising in lucrative #HK who want the status quo. Breathtakingly short-sighted. twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

#GenocideAmendment is back in the Commons on 9th Feb. Lords 2nd Feb.
@BorisJohnson is clear: the U.K. *will not* use the word “genocide” without a court ruling - but there’s no way of getting one at the moment.
Don’t deny #Uyghurs their day in court.

Another treaty violation DIRECT from the hand of Hong Kong’s Chief Executive.
They’re just getting away with it.
Anything to say @trussliz @ABlinken?? twitter.com/krislc/status/…

Looks like Mr Liu has been brought to heel, having dipped his 🦶in the waters of diplomacy. Now he can put his 🦶 up, having walked many miles in the 👞 of a diplomat. His successor will have big 👞 to fill.
