Protesters at the Chinese consulate in New York are attacked. Not the first time this has happened. It occured in LA and the UK (pictured) 🔽 as well.
The Chinese government believes it can assault its critics in democracies. Which means there should be even more protests at its embassies.
2 independent #HongKong bookstores, Luckwin & elmbook, have been barred from participating in the official HK Book Fair this year. HK Trade & Development Council, which runs the fair, refuses to comment. Independent booksellers have been banned in previous years as well.
The Chinese government is extending its police state around the world
Recently passed ethnic unity rules give the CCP the 'legal right' to use transnational repression. Critics of the government will also be at risk if they pass thru China while traveling 🔗
What happens when you can no longer report a corrupt official unless that exact official gives you written permission first? This is the bleak reality facing millions under Beijing's aggressive new crackdown on citizen complaints.
On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the Chinese Communist Party began enforcing a sweeping restriction on its ancient petition (xinfang) system. Officially announced on Friday, June 26, 2026, by the National Bureau of Letters and Calls, the new directive dictates that citizens can no longer appeal cross-provincially or travel to Beijing to report administrative abuse without holding prior written paperwork issued by their regional provincial governments.
To lock this gridlock in place, the CCP is weaponizing the "Fengqiao Experience." This is a grassroots social control method dating back to the 1960s Maoist era designed to force local authorities to smother conflicts at the source so they never escalate upward: "small matters do not leave the village, large matters do not leave the town, and conflicts are not passed upward." If desperate citizens attempt to bypass local authorities and repeatedly travel to Beijing anyway, petition offices will coordinate directly with public security forces to execute forced removals, or arrest them for "disrupting public order."
By sealing off the historic extrajudicial safety valve for administrative wrongdoing, the state has effectively trapped ordinary people inside the exact local power networks that victimized them.

3 blacks attack a drunk white kid in Birmingham, the female police officer comes in to protect the violent blacks and arrest the white kid
Absolutely disgusting the way white people are treated in England (@KnockoutAudit)
Como brasileiro, confirmo: presenciei esse racismo desde pequeno. Piadinhas de olho puxado, 'todo asiático é igual', apelidos pejorativos, sempre normalizados como 'humor'. É uma cultura enraizada no Brasil há muito tempo de que "não existe racismo contra asiáticos"
At 9:40pm, a young man wearing a shirt saying "from words to prosperity" & wearing a "police recruitment day" fanny pack outside SOGO was taken away by police in a police van; unclear if arrested.
On July 1 as a "sensitive" date in HK, see this thread: https://t.co/v4bxq8rlSP
