A must read from @Billbrowder about the brave @vkaramurza
RT @4freerussia_org: 1/ Powerful and moving article by @Billbrowder in @TIME magazine about the bravery and convictions of Vladimir Kara-Murza @vkaramurza, the pro-democracy activist, patriot and dissident, who has been imprisoned in Russia for a 25-year sentence:

The SPD has learnt absolutely nothing from the case of Nord Stream 2.
This is jeopardising of not just German but European security.
The Chancellor’s support for de-risking at this week’s @europarl_en plenary turned out to be a set of empty words at best. Shameful.
RT @POLITICOEurope: The German government says it will stick with a controversial plan to sell 24.99 percent of shares of a Hamburg port terminal to China's state-owned Cosco.
It comes despite fresh…

All the while the PRC continues to accuse the West of seeking confrontation - a typical communist propaganda strategy
RT @TheresaAFallon: Beijing doesn’t want meetings unless US lifts sanctions. Frosty relations but one bright spot w/ @USAmbChina meeting w/ 🇨🇳commerce min Wang Wentao on Thursday, following talks w/ foreign min Qin Gang on Monday. @Dimi https://t.co/8LNRv9DEZs

RT @RushanAbbas: A new propaganda trend has begun where #Uyghurs are vlogging their international travels. We are likely to see more paid actors boasting about their travel experiences to give the notion that Uyghurs are fine & free to travel as they please.

In Slovakia, Taiwan is the third largest Asian investor, well ahead of the PRC. Hopefully, there is more to come. Taiwan is a trusted and reliable partner
RT @mtdtl: Taiwanese company Prologium to set up battery gigafactory in France. An investment of 5.2 billion euros is more than double the stock of Taiwanese FDI in the EU. Enough to change the EU narrative that there’s not enough Taiwanese investment in Europe? https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/prologium-battery-gigafactory-be-set-up-northern-france-les-echos-2023-05-09/

VW executives need to hear uncomfortable truths. But even if VW manages to regain competitiveness, its moral image is in tatters.
RT @noahbarkin: It is shaping up as a very awkward AGM for VW management. Protesters are shouting down top executives & one threw an object on stage. Shareholders Deka & Union Investment are calling for an independent audit of the carmaker's plant in Xinjiang.

Shocking new report by @adrianzenz. It is all the more crucial that, at the very least, the European Union moves forward ASAP with the Forced Labour Ban
RT @adrianzenz: BREAKING: My new peer-reviewed research on Xinjiang's cotton shows even elderly Uyghurs forced to pick cotton or face "thought education", mechanized harvesting does not reduce forced Uyghur labor, and coerced picking continues despite Beijing's claims: 1/

The end of the win-win (China wins twice) game in Europe? Still, the level of PRC investments in critical sectors remains high and needs to be diligently watched

The Soviet flag, like the swastika, is a symbol of totalitarian terror and hate. It should have no place in Europe

The PRC wants concessions to improve communications and avoid escalations. This is both dangerous and irresponsible, and merely exposes the PRC’s lies that it is the West seeking confrontation
RT @JChengWSJ: China’s Foreign Minister rebuked the U.S. ambassador in Beijing for what he said was Washington’s support of Taiwan and indicated China wants concessions from the U.S. in return for improved lines of communication sought by the White House.

If the PRC was a credible partner for peace, it wouldn’t be threatening the EU over Chinese companies’ circumvention of sanctions against the aggressor, but would be pushing the Kremlin to stop its terror

#VEDay is an important reminder of the terrible human sacrifice, & bravery of men & women who gave their lives for freedom.
But we must also not forget that half of Europe remained shackled by another evil regime. The fight for freedom continued & in Ukraine still continues

Those who continue to cite climate change as an area for cooperation (in fact, it is the only issue they seem to be able to name) with the PRC should pay attention

Absolutely agree. Time to end this ‘initiative’ of once and for all

Utterly shameful that the Pillar of Shame can be considered as ‘inciting subversion’. The CCP and its stooges can try, but they cannot erase history and their crimes.

Such evaluation is much welcomed but well overdue. The Georgian Nightmare works against our values and against Georgian people’s euro-atlantic aspirations
