RT @DCTwining: .@marcorubio: China’s rise is not our problem. Our problem is that China’s leaders see it as a zero-sum game: that they must diminish the West & advance totalitarianism for China to succeed. @ipacglobal #StandTogetherOnChina #DefendDemocracy
Delighted to speak alongside legislators from across the democratic world, incl. Senator @marcorubio, during today’s opening panel of @ipacglobal Summit in Washington DC today about the threats posed by the CCP to our democracies

The totalitarian regime of the Chinese Communist Party represents perhaps the greatest threat to freedom & democracy globally.
That’s why I’m heading for the @ipacglobal conference in Washington DC where I look forward to speaking & engaging 1/2
Just how exactly do Western countries expect to implement a credible alternative to China’s Belt & Road? We must move away from mere empty declarations
RT @fbermingham: 6 African heads of state, inc head of African Union went to a summit in Rotterdam to raise funds for Africa's climate projects
Only one EU leader did, the Dutch PM

The news of a successful Ukrainian offensive to liberate occupied territories is much welcomed. I salute the courage and resolve of the Ukrainian people!
It is time that ALL Western countries step up their support for Ukraine’s freedom, sovereignty & territorial integrity
RT @TheStudyofWar: NEW: #Ukraine has inflicted a major operational defeat on #Russia, recapturing almost all of #Kharkiv Oblast in a rapid counter-offensive. Ukra…
Vladimir Kara-Murza’s only ‘crime’ is fighting for a free & democratic #Russia. It is my sincere hope that this birthday gift will one day be given to him.
RT @vkaramurza: 1/2. My first birthday present this year came from the prison guard: the night before he handled me a large stack of letters and postcards from all across Russia as well as many from abroad.
I am shocked by the language of Georgian Dream leader Kobakhidze against @violavoncramon.
The continued slur of abuse from Mr Kobakhidze against Members of @europarl_en is unacceptable and unworthy of a leader of a governing party seeking EU candidate status for their country
RT @UnitedU4u: @UnitedU4u MEPs are back together in Brussels!
We discussed our work priorities in the face of a challenging winter ahead. The Kremlin will surely continue to intimidate us. But we are committed to #StandWithUkraine as long as it takes for 🇺🇦 to win, recover, and find justice.
Queen Elisabeth II has dedicated her life to service. Her sense of duty, humility and strong moral compass will always remain an inspiration.
My thoughts & prayers are with the Queen’s family and with her whole nation.
May she rest in peace
RT @RoyalFamily: The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
This is indeed true, and the EU with its democratic allies should lead. I highly encourage the High Representative and the Council members to analyse and act on the recommendations we have made with colleagues in @europarl_en on a number of ocassions
RT @StuartKLau: The human rights situation in Xinjiang requires “urgent attention” by “the international community more broadly”, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says in a new sta…
The publication of the much delayed OHCHR report is welcomed, but ultimately it is concrete steps to hold the CCP to account for crimes against humanity that matter
RT @ipacglobal: #IPAC statement on the release of @UNHumanRights assessment of human rights concerns in the Uyghur Region.
The burden is now upon member states to ensure that formal legal determinations are pursued, including investigations into alleged genocide and cri…
RT @benedictrogers: At long, long, long last - on her last day, in her last hour, the outgoing UN High Commissioner for Human Rights @mbachelet finally admits the truth - up to a point - about #CCP #China #Uyghurs
Did it really need this long?
I'll be studying in detail
The CCP is a threat to international security but, as all totalitarian regimes, it is above all a threat to the people it oppresses. Its goal is nothing but to destroy human dignity. We must not allow it.
RT @fbermingham: 🚨BREAKING: The UN report is finally out, just before midnight
It says that actions of the Chinese government in Xinjiang, "may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity"
The OHCHR report tone is cautious, but the message is clear: the CCP is committing crimes against humanity, and it is time the Free World holds it to account.
RT @adrianzenz: Some observations about the UN Xinjiang report: 🧵
1. The report's main method is to use China's own government documents to prove the rights violations. A secondary method is 40 victim interviews. The tone is conservative, the method clearly documented.

RT @williamnee: Preliminary thought on the UN #Xinjiang report, although very late, literally the last minute, the human rights analysis presented and subsequent concerns raised based on the government's own laws, policies, and statements will be very hard for the Chinese government to refute.
