Exactly.
So we cannot let #Putin win

My new op-ed, on the Vatican's deal with #China #CCP:
"The credibility and moral authority of the Church is at stake, for if the price of an agreement with Beijing is Rome’s silence on some of the gravest atrocities of our time, then it is too high"

Great to see the #Taiwan flag still flying at its embassy to the Holy See, just down the road from St Peter's in Rome.
Long may it remain there!

Dear @elonmusk:
Congratulations on purchasing @Twitter
I would like you to be clear what is your relationship with & attitude to #XiJinping #CCP regime, & what implications, if any, that may have for our freedom on this medium.
Please clarify urgently

@benedictrogers
As #CCP holds 20th Party Congress in just over a week, it is vital for the world to know what #XiJinping is doing to #Uyghurs, #Tibet, #HongKong, his threats to #Taiwan, complicity with #Myanmar & #NorthKorea, crackdown on dissent in #China itself & threats to our freedoms too /

英國人權組織“香港監察”（Hong Kong Watch）行政總裁羅傑斯（Benedict Rogers）對美國之音說，這些來自一個中國高級外交官的“離譜威脅”是不能接受的，明顯地是就事件的一次升級行動，英國政府在保衛英國價值和自由上不能畏縮。

It's outrageous that this law firm is participating in an event to promote #HongKong's appalling draconian #NationalSecurityLaw

No, #XiJinping : it's you and your brutal, sordid, criminal, imperialist #CCP regime that have been weaponising economic coercion for too long
It's just that people are beginning to stop kowtowing and are finally starting to stand up
