THREAD: Two jokes about dear old #XiJinping and his funny #CCP gang
Joke 1: People in #China are finding that the new postage stamps with #Xi's image on them aren't sticking.
Then it was discovered why. People are spitting on the wrong side of the stamp. /

Just over a week ago, before I was threatened by #HongKong #CCP #NationalSecurityLaw, my wonderful colleague @jooeysiiu and I met with @VoCommunism Chair Ambassador Andrew Bremberg to discuss #China and #HongKong

@benedictrogers
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

My new op-ed, about @mbachelet's #China visit
"She did not just kowtow to the brutal #CCP — she fell prostrate and barely raised her head, let alone her voice. Her tongue was licking the boots of #XiJinping's henchmen instead of speaking truth to power"

I am thinking about @joshuawongcf today, as he spends yet another birthday in prison.
Let us never ever forget #JoshuaWong, and all political prisoners in #HongKong, and let us continue to #FightForFreedom and work to #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners in #HK. twitter.com/hkdc_us/status…

My op-ed to mark #TiananmenSquareMassacre #June4th
"We should have learned 33 years ago that a regime that turns its guns & tanks on its own people is at its very heart a brutal, inhumane & rotten tyranny that is an enemy of human liberty."

Sorry, dear friends in #Beijing, it is your chum #VladimirPutin that invaded #Ukraine and started a war, not Nato, so cut out your outrageous lies and claptrap.
And we have every right to watch Asia-Pacific - and to warn #CCP #China
