Will the German Chancellor also take business leaders on a tour of Chinese factories to see the human cost of doing business with the PRC? Or is that not included in the partnership based on ‘reliability and trust’?
RT @WeiwuerXW: 阿克苏一家棉花加工厂的条件。维吾尔人作为廉价劳动力被迫在汉人的加工厂上班,其条件极其恶劣。白天上班,晚上在机器旁打地铺睡觉。
棉花是白色的,但在东突厥斯坦已被染红。

Reliability and trust might play an important role in German and Chinese culture, but they are unknown to communists, including the CCP.
RT @Bundeskanzler: Reliability and trust – these two values play an important role in 🇩🇪 and 🇨🇳 culture. At the same time, they form the basis of diplomatic relations and political partnerships. It’s a good thing that we met in person and held talks.
Dithering is not a policy, it is time for Berlin to leave behind failed policies and naivety of the past. Unfortunately, it seems that the Chancellor is firmly stuck in the past and fails to see the realities of today that first and foremost require principled policies
RT @benedictrogers: An important piece.
Germany must choose whether it is with the West or with China: it cannot have it both ways https://www.telegraph.co.uk/busine…
Very much looking forward to welcoming @benedictrogers to @europarl_en to discuss his latest book and his tireless fight for human rights in China!
RT @benedictrogers: Very excited to be launching my new book #TheChinaNexus on Tuesday 8 November next week, at 17.00, in the European Parliament in Brussels, at an event hosted by my wonderful friend @MiriamMLex MEP.
Very much looking forward to it!
RT @CivilGe: MEPs @AnnaFotyga_PE @MiriamMLex @rjukneviciene have responded and condemned the Tbilisi Court of Appeal’s decision on 2 November to uphold imprisoned Mtavari Arkhi TV Chief Nika Gvaramia’s sentence.

Chancellor Scholtz would rather join authoritarian leaders to pay respects to the Red Emperor in Beijing, than to take a principled stance with fellow democratic leaders. Shameful
RT @StuartKLau: So Scholz wouldn’t want another European leader to steal his limelight … but has no problem sharing the same week with his Pakistani, Vietnamese and Tanzanian counterparts in filling up the agenda of Xi the new third term leader
For all the charades played in front of the world’s financial sector, CCP’s HongKong lackeys won’t even allow Jimmy Lai to choose his own lawyer.
This just shows how far they’ve crushed the rule of law in the city
RT @benedictrogers: They don't even want to allow him to choose his own lawyer.

A groundbreaking & welcomed ruling from the ECHR! Extradition to PRC would constitute violation of Article 3 ECHR - prohibition of torture & other forms of ill-treatment.
All the more reasons for remaining EU Member States to finally suspend extradition treaties with the PRC

I am abhorred by the decision to uphold the sentencing of Nika Gvaramia, which is based on trumped up charges.
This yet another example of selective justice puts into question Georgia’s European path
Imagine the Soviet NKVD having ‘police stations’ in Western Europe during the Cold War.
Seems far-fetched? Then we should have zero tolerance for ‘police stations’ of the totalitarian CCP regime in our democracies countries today. They must be closed ASAP

RT @EditorBTB: BREAKING: Security Minister Tom Tugendhat (@TomTugendhat) has just confirmed that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak "will be looking to close" Confucius Institutes in the UK.
There can be no return to normal with the totalitarian CCP. The CCP is increasingly aggressive abroad, repressive at home, and poses grave security threat to our democratic societies. It is bewildering that the German Chancellor has learnt nothing

Much welcomed intervention from the FCC - there should be no place for this tool of the totalitarian CCP regime in our democratic societies. TikTok is not some neutral platform, it’s a security risk

The Chancellor surveying more infrastructure he intends to sell to the Chinese?
RT @Bundeskanzler: Καλημέρα @kmitsotakis. Die Akropolis ist beeindruckend. Die gemeinsame Besichtigung mit Dir eine tolle Idee. Gleich sprechen wir über die wichtige Frage, wie wir die hohen Energiepreise runter kriegen. Gut ist: 🇩🇪 und 🇬🇷arbeiten eng zusammen - sind Freunde in der #EU und #NATO.
The move would not only defy advice - it would defy logic
RT @fbermingham: German government wants to allow the takeover of the chip production arm of Dortmund company Elmos by Chinese owned competitor Silex
The move would "likely defy advice from the domestic intelligence agency"
