.@UKLabour has been calling for a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics for months.
Good news that UK Govt has finally U-turned and agreed with Labour on this. But why so much dither and delay, given appalling events in Xinjiang and Hong Kong?
The UK and Australia will join the U.S. in a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics over Chinese human rights abuses.
Activists are calling on countries to boycott the 2022 Games because of China’s crackdowns on protests in Hong Kong and abuses of Uyghur Muslims.
Several Hong Kong film productions which tackled the 2019 anti-China extradition protests won recognition at the 58th Golden Horse Film Awards https://t.co/q4g1BjhijG @globalvoices
A diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics is NOT enough.
It won't help the Uyghurs nor help Hong Kong or Taiwan. It does not advance human rights. It won't help a single American company from being cyber-attacked by the #CCP. It won't stop our technology from being stolen.
428-1:House passed Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act,legislation banning the importation of goods made with forced labor in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China.Bill by Rep. McGovern (D-MA) now heads to Senate,which passed its own version of the bill by voice vote in July.

• "Ratification of #CAI cannot take place at present for various reasons."

There’s something about trekking through a genocide scarred landscape while pretending to ignore it that perfectly encapsulates the Johnson family relationship with the CCP: the foul stench of colonial era dehumanisation and greed and entitlement that accompanies it.
There are a lot of important issues with the Health and Care Bill so I only had a few minutes to speak on the #SquidGameAmendment.
Britain should be playing no part in China's forced organ harvesting. It is one of the worst crimes against humanity of the 21st century.
The owner of @brooklynNets@joetsai1999 is a coward & puppet of the Chinese gov’t.
Being anti-CCP does NOT mean being anti-Asian
It's possible to #StopAsianHate & to stand up against the CCP
Human rights are not "western" values, they are UNIVERSAL values!
