Hongkongers have filed a petition to the UK Parliament to investigate the legality of the British-Sino Joint Declaration.
If the treaty is indeed void, China's occupation of Hong Kong would be ILLEGAL

NO INFORMATION SHARING WITH AUTHORITARIANS.
@MPIainDS has tabled an amendment to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to stop 🇨🇳 and other authoritarian regimes from abusing information sharing agreements.
The amendment would prevent 🇬🇧 from sharing private information with overseas authorities in jurisdictions where the right to a fair trial cannot be guaranteed, including China and #HongKong.
We need your support! Urge your MP to support the amendment with our template letter: https://t.co/ZnhZ6gDuaO
Germany is losing the intellectual property war to Beijing without a single shot being fired. An alarming new study by the German Economic Institute reveals that China has quietly seized ownership of more than 11,300 patents originally developed in Germany over the past two decades. This marks a staggering predatory shift from the year 2000, when Chinese entities owned virtually zero German patents. Beijing is systematically stripping away Europe's technological edge, aggressively targeting Germany's traditional core strengths in mechanical engineering and advanced robotics, epitomized by the corporate acquisition of industrial robotics pioneer Kuka.
This is not normal market competition; it is a calculated, asymmetric economic raid. While Germany's global R&D spending ranking plummeted from third to sixth, China's research spending exploded twentyfold over the same period. Experts warn of a severe and dangerous imbalance, as the CCP strategically directs Western corporate takeovers while keeping its own domestic market strictly sealed off through protectionist negative lists and security reviews. As European policymakers slowly debate "de-risking," the hard data proves that Germany is steadily losing control of its critical future innovations to an authoritarian adversary.

📢 "Beijing’s flouting of international shipping norms in pursuit of dubious claims to territorial sovereignty have escalated progressively, partly because they have been met with an inadequate response. This must stop."
