New piece up at Forbes on the brutal targeting of a peaceful #HongKong protester by CCP officials at the Chinese consulate in Manchester, UK. Incidents like this are unacceptable, but surprisingly commonplace because of the CCP’s track record. https://t.co/XxLGwhoWy2
BREAKING: Free Tibet & friends are carrying out a banner drop action now on Westminster Bridge to express our solidarity with the lone protester in #Beijing, who a few days ago, protested against the CCP’s inhumane zero-covid measures & called for an end to #XiJinping’s rule.
This morning @MPIainDS tabled a second Urgent Question in two days on the attack by Chinese Consulate officials in Manchester on #HongKongers, and urged @FCDOGovUK to declare the Consul-General and any Consulate officials involved "persona non grata" and expel them "forthwith".
🚨CAUTION
I received an suspcious interview invitation this morning, asking for my commentary on 🇨🇳’s 20th Party Congress, Hong Kong & Taiwan issues. Upon checking, my RFA journalist friends confirmed it is a FAKE email.
It is another disinformation & infiltration campaign.

U.K. Government says that the U.K. will expect China to waive diplomatic immunity so to that, if police thinks there are chargeable offences, officials involved in #BobChan beating can be prosecuted, and if they do not there will be “serious diplomatic consequences”.
Inspired by a man's lone protest of in Beijing last Friday, some Chinese residents have been spreading protest messages echoing his slogans via AirDrop and WeTransfer. While anti-Xi protests have emerged in universities across the world outside of #China.

It seems that CCP is really tight with money. They cannot even afford subcontractor or security company to take care of these security issue. Highest level staff in the consulate have to taken care of the security issue themselves. Maybe, if you don’t have the budget, close it.
