🛑 A Chinese YouTuber, Guanguan, secretly filmed inside a concentration camp holding Uyghur Muslims in East Turkistan. 🛑
The UN estimates over 1 million Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Muslim minorities have been locked inside these camps.
Survivors describe forced labor, indoctrination, and torture.
China calls them "vocational training centers." The world calls them what they are, concentration camps.
Beijing denied their existence for years — until the evidence became impossible to hide.
The truth cannot stay hidden forever.

Day 9 of my summer tour in Berlin
A very interesting meeting with Chenchao Liu, Managing Director of SILREAL GmbH.
His personal story is remarkable: He came from China to Germany at just 13 years old. Today, he is an entrepreneur connecting economic interests and business relations between Germany and China.
At a time when relations between Europe and China are becoming increasingly complex, we need more direct dialogue and fewer prejudices.
China needs to take Europe seriously and Europe needs to understand China.
As Chair of the European Parliament’s Delegation for relations with the People’s Republic of China, direct exchange is particularly important to me.
If we want to shape China policy, we need to talk to people who understand both worlds.
Afterwards, I continued with meetings at the German Bundestag, with the state executive board of FREIE WÄHLER Berlin and with the team at our new Berlin office.
For the first time, we are standing for election in two Berlin districts.
Our goal is clear: to continue building FREIE WÄHLER in Berlin and enter the German Bundestag at the next federal election.
🟠 We don’t just want to talk about Berlin. We want to shape Berlin.

🇷🇺🇰🇵Nous n'aurions jamais dû laisser la Corée du Nord envoyer des troupes en Ukraine.
Cela aurait dû être une ligne rouge : si Pyongyang envoie des troupes, alors nous aussi.
Cette posture de faiblesse de la part de l'OTAN est insupportable. Nous avons laissé la Corée du Nord entraîner ses troupes chez nous, en Europe, à tuer des Ukrainiens. Il faut se rendre compte quand même de l'énormité de la chose, il y a 5 ans personne n'aurait pu l'imaginer.
Déjà que laisser la Corée du Nord tester ses missiles balistiques sur les villes ukrainiennes est une aberration mais le déploiement de troupes constitue une escalade certaine et intolérable. Les rumeurs selon lesquelles ils risquent d'en envoyer à nouveau devraient nous alerter sur la réponse à apporter.
L'Europe ne doit pas accepter que la pire dictature de la Terre entraîne ses troupes en Ukraine. Et si nous ne voulons pas envoyer nous-même nos soldats pour aider à défendre l'Ukraine, alors donnons-leur au moins les moyens de se défendre efficacement et levons les restrictions inutiles.
C'est un échec moral profond pour l'Europe que de laisser faire la Russie et la Corée du Nord.

The UK High Court just dismissed a legal challenge against London's planned "mega embassy" for China.
Here's why this is a massive deal:
It'll be the largest Chinese embassy in Europe, built on a site local councillors rejected twice, before the government overruled them and approved it anyway.
MI5 and FBI chiefs have jointly called China "the biggest long-term threat" facing their countries, and this embassy sits feet away from the fiber-optic cables linking Canary Wharf and the City of London.
Those cables don't just carry UK transactions.
They carry financial data tied to global markets, including the US.
Nearly an entire floor of the building's blueprints is redacted with no description or explanation.
Among those fighting against it is Luke de Pulford, founder of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC).
Campaigners lost at the High Court, but they're not done. Next stop: the Court of Appeal, then potentially the Supreme Court.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong has terminated the Australian National University’s joint venture with a Chinese university linked to Beijing’s nuclear weapons program, on national-security grounds. Read the full story: https://t.co/3U2aMYSCuG
Should Inheritance Tax be charged at 40%? Is that rate too high?
1. Should pensions be subject to IHT at all?
2. If pensions are going to be included in IHT, shouldn’t there be a reasonable cap or allowance?
Recent reports indicate that UK pension withdrawals reached a record approximately £22.4 billion in the 2025/26 tax year. One of the reasons cited is growing concern that, from 6 April 2027, pensions will be brought into the scope of Inheritance Tax (IHT).

1/7 I’m making public the sudden closure of my personal and business @Wise bank accounts, incl. The Points Media’s main operating account.
Four UK parliamentarians, all patrons of @hk_watch, have written to Wise raising concerns and calling for answers. Their letter is attached.
#Statement | The Foreign Ministry expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation and denunciation of the Government of the Republic of Colombia’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. This step contravenes international law and relevant resolutions of international legitimacy.
A Chinese company the UK gov sanctioned for selling boats to people smugglers is still offering the vessels on its website
Weihai Yamar Outdoors Products boats are made to order in China, shipped to Turkey & transported to France via Bulgaria and Germany.
Why would they stop?!
With Western governments publicly silent about how the United Arab Emirates is aiding and abetting genocide in Sudan (by arming the Rapid Support Forces), it takes a man in the street in London to speak out. https://t.co/es8ha9MY5u
