@lukedepulford @j_smithfinley Thanks Luke. This is not a Confucian approach to governance. The CCP has appropriated Confucian values for window-dressing, but has never practiced any. Governing by laws and fear- to put it mildly- is what Confucius, Mencius and centuries of their successors utterly repudiated.

Now up is @j_smithfinley who takes up the Chen Quanguo theme.

Day 2 of @TribunalUyghur starting now.

Please see my article about Xinjiang below. ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing’ as Edmund Burke (almost) said...Time to do something! No proper China policy can sidestep this issue. geostrategy.org.uk/britains-world…

Chinese ambassador cannot know what has hit him. He has now got Paul Mason, Lisa Nandy, Stephen Kinnock, Andrew Adonis, Maurice Glasman, Tom Tugendhat, Duncan-Smith, Henry Jackson Society, Priti Patel, and Lord Alton, all on his case. @LabourList labourlist.org/2020/07/our-la…

We are delighted to see that the UK government has finally begun to move on the issue of Huawei in our 5G network:

@METhorley @BBCr4today Beneath contempt. Wickedness is indeed not new. These words are part of that, and all the worse for it.

@kaming42912847 @METhorley @BBCr4today This is at the core of elite capture- people who are morally and materially corrupted imagining they are in some way more objective because they benefit from the source of corruption. This is the CCP virus against which decent honesty is our best defence.

@METhorley @BBCr4today so he's saying that when injustice has became the norm, it should just be accepted and ignored?

@myetcetera They must be sure of their control networks in U.K. academia to propose this travesty. Can we break their grip? We must try.

Please don't. 'UK universities are testing a new online teaching link for students in China—which will require course materials to comply with Chinese restrictions on the internet... [I]t means students can only reach material on an "allowed" list.' bbc.com/news/education…

Important @AP report: twitter.com/AP/status/1277…

BREAKING: today #IPAC publishes devastating new research by @adrianzenz raising the prospect that #Uyghurs and other minorities in the Xinjiang Region are victims of mass atrocity crimes. The world cannot stand idly by. Today #IPAC commits to action. ipac.global/campaigns/uygh…

@MoS_Politics This is a crossroads that defines our future. Either we repudiate utterly the system that produced this capability and uses it to spread its malign power over captive territories, or we become one of those captive territories. It is as grimly simple as that.

Huawei showdown on Monday...

HJS ONLINE EVENT: After Covid-19: Where is Britain’s foreign policy going? Join us for a discussion with @james_rogers, @SarahChampionMP, @Tobias_Ellwood, and @TomTugendhat. 14:00-15:00 BST, 1st July 2020. REGISTER: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #COVID19 #China #ForeignPolicy

Here me & @RichardKraemer7 wrote an analysis of Russia-China nexus in Europe for @just_securit, a topic @_EuropeanValues Center for Security Policy focuses on. This axis of evil is growing and getting stronger as almost nobody tries to stop it. justsecurity.org/70822/beware-a…

@bueti @JosepBorrellF Who is in charge in this situation? The EU or the CCP?

The Czech analyst's position had become very difficult, after @JosepBorrellF made public accusations against her BEFORE enquiring what happened. But the fact, that she leaves, does not relieve #EEAS of the obligation of reporting to AFET, whether the accusations have been proven.
