Let's never forget - I'll never forget - that when I & @hk_watch were threatened by #CCP under #HongKong's draconian #NationalSecurityLaw, @trussliz was one of the first to speak out
I believe in her "Network of Liberty"

Such an amazing privilege to be with #HongKongers last night singing #GloryToHongKong at @RoOT_film UK premiere.
So incredibly moving.

"#China’s rewriting of history is part of a campaign to deny Britain’s part in #HongKong’s story, undermine the pro-democracy movement ... & implant the idea that the place has always ... been part of China"

#SAVETHEDATE: On 1 July @hk_watch will host an event with our Patron, the last Governor of #HongKong, Lord Patten, to mark the 25th anniversary of the handover and to launch his new book.
We will open up registration, with venue details, this Monday.

All the more reason why those of us around the world who have #Freedom must publicly commemorate #TiananmenSquareMassacre tomorrow.

This is totally, utterly, completely ridiculous & outrageous
My friend @DrewPavlou is completely non-violent, & utterly committed democracy, human rights & the rule of law
He was peacefully protesting against the #CCP's #UyghurGenocide

I think it's bad manners to commit genocide, break promises and tear up an international treaty, to jail, torture and disappear people for their political or religious beliefs, to steal human organs & to sanction foreigner simply for speaking the truth/

I'm thinking maybe, once my new book #TheChinaNexus is out, I should go to Manchester to deliver a copy of it to the Chinese Consulate, and maybe also do a public reading of some extracts of it outside the Consulate?
What do you think?

This is very welcome, exactly right and long overdue
I look forward to seeing the detail of what we plan to do to counter the #CCP threat
