The CCP's influence reaches far beyond its borders. Reports indicate China pressured #Zambia to cancel RightsCon 2026, the world’s largest gathering focused on internet freedom, after Taiwanese participants planned to attend.
Organizers say they were told the event could only proceed if sensitive topics were censored and certain communities, like Taiwanese participants, were excluded. Panels were set to cover China’s cyberattacks, surveillance tech, and global disinformation campaigns.
Silencing those conversations isn’t diplomacy, it’s coercion. The U.S. and our partners must push back against the CCP’s efforts to export authoritarian control over the internet.

I can’t explain how significant this is.
1. U.S. warships ships are now escorting vessels.
2. Maersk took the risk, and was greatly rewarded.
3. There are clear paths that are clear of mines.
4. This is a big slap in the face to the IRGC blockade.
(5. Still don’t want to get too excited just yet)
Thank you, @POTUS, for standing up for my friend Jimmy Lai and FIGHTING for his release.
Jimmy has been unjustly held by Communist China for YEARS simply because he stood up for freedom. We will not stop fighting until he’s FREE!

You can tell everything about a man by how he instinctively responds when it hits the fan. No rehearsal. No time to think. Just reflex.

These are the men the media calls dangerous. These are the men the left calls fascists. And when the bullets started flying — from yet another radicalized leftist — they didn’t flinch.

🚨🚨 OPERATION BOX CUTTER:
Today: Six Chinese citizens and two China-based pharmaceutical companies have been indicted for allegedly selling and delivering chemical precursors used to make fentanyl intended to be smuggled into the United States - as well as forging an alliance with a Mexican drug cartel.
These indictments are historic. The multi-agency investigation involved unprecedented cooperation with China’s MPS - and followed the FBI’s historic visit to China in November, successfully working with MPS to tighten controls over the precursor chemicals key to fueling fentanyl trafficking.
That visit, led by President Trump’s negotiations with President Xi, continues to pay dividends for America’s national security in the war on deadly narcotics.
President Trump promised and delivered sweeping policies to crush the plague of fentanyl in America. This FBI and our partners are executing it across the country 24/7.
🚨 WOW! NATO allies are FINALLY caving to President Trump and have moved to support America in the war against Iran, NATO Ambassador Whitaker confirms
30 ALLIES are now moving to secure the Strait of Hormuz
NO free rides! 🇺🇸
"We have allies that are finally stepping up."
