ICYMI, @dktatlow published the most important, deeply researched expose of Chinese Communist Party influence ops in the United States in @Newsweek. It's a must-read for anyone interested in U.S. national security, for many reasons. 1/x
The @americanart museum is hosting a "Classy Sassy Jazzy Hong Kong Night" this weekend in partnership with #CCP mouthpiece #HKETO. Federal buildings should never be used to legitimize the CCP's agenda. @smithsonian should call off this disgraceful event immediately.
The CCP is expediting its repression of the freedom-loving people of Hong Kong and jailing hundreds for exercising their most basic rights. Met with a group from @thecfhk on steps the U.S. can take to support democracy in Hong Kong amid China's accelerated crack-down on freedom.
This is how a secure, forward looking and stable society, with respect for freedom behaves. Not.

Jailed #HongKong democracy activists deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. Chow Hang-Tung, Gwyneth Ho,Jimmy Lai, Lee Cheuk-Yan and Joshua Wong have "willingly chosen jail," says scholar Perry Link. "It's a remarkable sacrifice."

🇺🇸US Senator Pat Toomey @SenToomey, said:
"As the world’s leading defender of democratic values and individual liberties, the U.S. must work with our allies to hold those responsible accountable and demand the CCP restore the autonomy HK was promised."
I find myself constantly in disbelief. HK taught me to be who I am, HKU gave me knowledge and structure, but now I am told I am in the “wrong”
All things I was taught— to love the city, to think critically, to speak up, are crimes and traces they desperately want to get rid of.
The conviction of Jimmy Lai and others makes a mockery of claims that the Hong Kong Government continues to uphold the Basic Law.

Today, Sen. Rubio reaffirms his solidarity with Lai and reiterates his support for all Hong Kongers who continue to defend their autonomy and basic human rights. #ExpressionNOToppression 2/2

Westminster School pulls out of China
New regulations mean British-branded private schools in China will be forced to abandon their curricula and teach only lessons approved by Beijing as part of a broader push by Xi Jinping to ensure the “right” thinking.https://t.co/QSXfieqrcO
Taliban militiamen have massacred 13 persons to silence music in a wedding party in Nengarhar. We can't express our rage only by condemnation. For 25 years Pak trained them to kill Afg culture & replace it with ISI tailored fanaticism to control our soil. It is now in works. 1/2
