If CCP is so busy telling us that its police stations on the territories of our countries are nothing of the sort, why are its trolls busy targeting @SafeguardDefend? Classical manipulation by totalitarian regimes to subvert the truth. @TwitterSupport what will you do about it?
RT @LauraHarth: Since @SafeguardDefend revealed the existence of “Chinese overseas police service stations” we’ve been hit with a disinformation campaign featuring thousands of fake soci…

And Germany’s over-exposure on the PRC creates additional secondary dependencies for other EU countries, creating further entanglements that pose risk to our supply chains resilience and competitiveness
RT @AgatheDemarais: 🇨🇳🇪🇺 - European companies are far more reliant on China than American firms are
🇩🇪 Exposure of German firms to China amounts to ~10% of Germany's GDP (highest share in Europe)
🇺🇸 Exposure of US firms to China is more than half lower: America has…

Ironic of Mr Kobakhidze to be providing such deep expertise on human rights violations - where’s his expertise when it comes to Nika Gvaramia or Mikheil Saakashvili?
RT @FormulaGe: "A sanction cannot be applied to a family member in general, this approach is in direct violation of human rights standards," Irakli Kobakhidze said adding that sanctions can only apply to those people who have committed a criminal act against Georgia. https://t.co/P3xW54ApRG

$5bn taken from Hong Kongers to oppress them
RT @mbrookerhk: HK$5 billion, taken from Hong Kong taxpayers without their approval, not subject to any HK
law and with zero transparency. A big contributing factor in why I left. Tax may be low there, but I wouldn’t willingly give 1 cent to such a system

I fully agree. The rationale/wording of the press release is unfortunate and, I would add, divorced from the realities of today’s geopolitical developments
RT @MatejSimalcik: Slovakia's MOFA StateSec @IBrockova travels to Beijing to "strengthen diplomatic and trade relations between #Slovakia and #China." While @SlovakiaMFA has been typically relatively clear-eyed on balancing various China-related risks...

Utterly shameful, with no regard for those Syrians who fled Assad’s brutality to neighbouring countries and are suffering hardship every day.
Those who think that legitimising this butcher will bring stability are deluded

Utterly reprehensible. Lukashenka’s illegitimate regime treats the people of Belarus like animals. The regime can continue to build cages, but the freedom-loving people will triumph

We mustn’t take our eyes off Hong Kong and Beijing’s continued attempts to suppress freedoms in the city.

For years, VW has been digging its own grave by increasing its dependence on the PRC - and it keeps on digging. This is deeply troubling for European competitiveness and security

Utterly baffling remarks by the HRVP.
It’s simply illiterate to compare our competition with our closest ally to competition with a totalitarian regime that seeks to undermine our democracies, rewrite international norms and distort free market practices

Yet another come-to-nothing strategy by President Macron.
He might be right in highlighting the challenges but 1) his short attention spam & 2) his past record of actions & words on how this is to be achieved should rather make us & our allies suspicious
