Well done, Singapore! China has flooded anti-India content in Singapore. Similar pattern will emerge if US and other countries that have large Indian diaspora, if they choose to investigate, who fuels the anti India narrative there.

Quote from @MPIainDS and @alexsobel:
"Despite increasing global awareness, our own Parliament's declaration of genocide, and the findings of the Uyghur Tribunal, global efforts to hold Beijing accountable have fallen woefully short. The sheer scale of this infrastructure, now holding the highest detention capacity in the world, demonstrates an evolved and calculated campaign of mass imprisonment and cultural erasure.
Together with our cross-party parliamentary colleagues, we have written to the Foreign Secretary and the UK Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief, urging the UK Government to leverage its international platform and take immediate action, including targeted sanctions and stricter supply chain controls to block forced labour."

🚨 New analysis reveals Xinjiang has the highest detention capacity in the world.
Together with cross-party colleagues, IPAC 🇬🇧's @MPIainDS@alexsobel have written to the Foreign Secretary & Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief to urge action.

Hay más de 100 países en el mundo que mantienen oficinas comerciales de Taiwán.
Hoy, según datos de la INEC, Taiwán está entre los 7 países que más representan Inversión Extranjera Directa en Panamá.
Entonces la pregunta es sencilla:
¿Por qué Panamá siendo un país independiente no puede, como hacen más de 100 países, tener una oficina comercial con Taiwán?
