Tonight an Apple Daily editor was arrested at HK airport under the NSL. His name is Fung Wai-kong (馮偉光) & used the pen-name 盧峯.
He was my editor & would receive my columns in English & Chinese.
@DominicRaab this man was attempting to board a flight to London. Do something.
This morning the 🇱🇹 Lithuanian Government approved donation of 20 thousand vaccines to 🇹🇼 #Taiwan. I am proud that we can, albeit in a small way, to show solidarity with the Taiwanese people in combatting the COVID-19. Freedom-loving people should look out for each other!
The weaponization of “patriotism” is a hallmark of tyranny. The CCP continues to crush freedom of speech, democracy, & the rule of law in #HongKong in violation of their int’l commitments. There must be a high cost for the CCP’s violations. #standwithhongkong#光復香港時代革命
Very informative 🧵 on the significance of the @Europarl_EN EU-Taiwan report, which will probably be voted in plenary this September. Expanding cooperation and strengthening ties with our partner #Taiwan has never been more important 🇹🇼

Natürlich gibt es gute Gründe, #Geldwäsche stärker zu bekämpfen! Aber eine #Bargeldeinschränkung nutzt kaum! Die #Nebeneffekte wie negative Zinsen mögen im Interesse der Kommission sein, aber sie sind nicht im Interesse der deutschen Bürger,die ich als EU-Abgeordneter vertrete!👆
Jedoch sagt er, dass die einfache Nutzung von #Bargeld das Problem bei der #Geldwäschebekämpfung sei, was sein Argument für die #Bargeldbeschränkung ist.
Das wollte ich als Verfechter der Bargeldes natürlich nicht unkommentiert lassen. 👆
