The deterioration of the rule of law and fundamental rights in Hong Kong also directly impacts us. The EU cannot stay silent nor on the sidelines. @europarl_en to once again made its voice clear, time for the Member States to follow!

I have never been one to say we shouldn’t talk to Beijing
Of course we should talk
The question for me is not whether to engage, but how, on whose terms, about what and with what objective?

I’m not against meetings with #XiJinping
In many ways, they’re better than meetings with low-level officials who have little power
But the real test is not getting the meeting, but what comes from the meeting
A meeting with what purpose?
A thaw at what price?

Very good news. The PRC, Iran and other malign actors should not be allowed to circumvent sanctions and thus aid the aggressor

As the Kremlin lies about its own crimes against humanity, it peddles old Stalinist lies about the crimes committed in Katyn.

The same criminal regime that for decades stole & repressed Russian people, wages wars & occupies neighbours’ lands, & fell for its own lies, finally turned on itself.
Those who believe that Putin’s regime is an alternative to democracy should finally take heed

The CCP’s terror is not something abstract, it has real faces and stories of suffering behind it.
Dr Abbas has now been imprisoned for 5 years.
The CCP must release Dr Abbas, all Uyghurs & those suffering under its oppression and finally face consequences for its crimes
