BREAKING: Chinese police in Chengdu raided a Sunday worship service at the well-known Early Rain Covenant Church on June 14, detaining multiple elders, church members, and even children.
According to witnesses, around 50–60 police officers and officials stormed the gathering, recorded attendees’ IDs, and transported worshippers to local police stations using buses and police vehicles. The whereabouts of many detainees remain unclear.
Early Rain Covenant Church has faced years of persecution since a major crackdown in 2018. Its pastor, Wang Yi, was sentenced to 9 years in prison in 2019 after criticizing restrictions on religious freedom and defending church independence from state control.
The arrest of the student who launched a petition over the deadly Tai Po fire shows how little free speech #HongKong really has. The CCP tolerates mourning, but anyone who dares to seek accountability or hold criticism is treated as a "national security" threat and crushed.
I've created posters to fight China's propaganda:
1) China's claims over Taiwan have no legal basis.
2) China has a history of misinterpreting and violating international agreements for its own territorial expansion.
3) A simpler version explaining Taiwan's independence.
Another win for location data. These fake accounts on Okinawa are another example of China trying to covertly manipulate western social media. The CCP has been doing this for years without the world knowing about it.
Latest twist in the 🇨🇳 mega-embassy saga:
@metpoliceuk dropped their Dec 2024 objection to the project on the basis of a 2022 document paid for by….erm….Beijing. When asked to produce it, they couldn’t.
I smell a rat.

People need to understand Australia is at its peak of appeasement with China now.
Voices like this is getting smaller and less.
But I will keep doing it here and i want you to join me.
Beijing is now eating the bitter fruit of its own nationalistic propaganda, but the trend of foreigners leaving the country and foreign investment withdrawing is unlikely to be reversed. There is perfect idiom for this:自食恶果. https://t.co/6FRy6ZJPJh
@StateDept Altho I am pleased to see actions made on the #HK47 verdict; I remain my stance that visa restrictions are not enuf. The US law has provided the USG the sanctions authority to hold perpetrators accountable for violating human rights & undermining the autonomy of #HongKong. (1/2)
47 legislators stand with 47 Hongkongers, whose sham trial is an affront to justice and to freedom.
- Sanction the officials responsible.
- Reassess Hong Kong's special privileges.
- Provide immigration options for Hongkongers fleeing oppression.
