Had a very constructive and fruitful conversation with the shadow Foreign Secretary @lisanandy and shadow Minister for Asia and Pacific @SKinnock. Exchanged a lot of thoughts on #China & #Hongkong, also action items. More to go. twitter.com/lisanandy/stat…

After the meeting with @lisanandy, I had the privilege to meet with Minister for Asia @nadams. Both the incumbent party and the opposition are concerned by the ongoing human rights violations in HongKong and Xinjiang and determined to act. Very constructive and positive meetings. twitter.com/nathanlawkc/st…

I met with Iain last week and he is a strong, keen supporter for Hong Kong democracy. No doubt that Carrie Lam should be sanctioned. twitter.com/MPIainDS/statu…

Glad to chat with @SecPompeo again. The situation in Hong Kong has significantly worsened since our previous meeting in DC last May.
//Pompeo told reporters before the meeting that he expected to have "eye-opening and important discussions" with Law.//

1. THREAD: Amid a series of strong UK responses — the Huawei ban and the suspension of its extradition treaty
with #HongKong among them — to growing signs of Chinese imperialism, @SecPompeo paid an important visit to London, where he and I had a great conversation yesterday.

3. We also discussed #China's broader strategy to tighten the grip on Hong Kong and its future challenges in the global arena. I specifically highlighted the opposition camp's successful primaries held earlier this month, in which more than 600,000 people cast their votes.
435
4. While Hong Kongers' fight for freedom continues, I noted that Beijing is busy making plans to meddle in September's Legislative Council elections, almost certainly by once again disqualifying candidates it deems unacceptable so they won't appear on the ballot.
436
2. Unlike previous meetings with top American government representatives, I enjoyed the opportunity to sit down and chat personally with Pompeo for over 20 minutes. We touched first and foremost on the latest threats of the new, Beijing-imposed National Security Law.

438
6. Pompeo has a long-time interest in Hong Kong. I recalled that, as a Kansas Congressman, he'd been one of very few House co-sponsors of the landmark #HKHRDA, an updated version of which would pass four years later. Now he works tirelessly and unwaveringly to implement the law.

Yes indeed. If there is a CCP-controlled thug who had attacked protestor and hide in the UK, it will pose huge threat to the HK pro-democracy activists in the region.
CCP-controlled thug should not saty in a democratic country, no doubts.

Xi failed the world and the people.
//Majorities in major Western countries now see China as a “malign force in the world.” (Only 3% of Britons, 4% of Germans and 5% of the French and Americans identified China as a force for good. ) //

Threatening to boycott Olympics helps democratization -- the case of South Korea shows it. The world should now boycott 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and stop funding CCP to torture its people.

HK Top official threatens:
“Closing a bank account is not endangering national security . . . unless there is proof that the US government is instructing the banks and telling the banks that this way is going to put pressure on the Hong Kong government,”
