@PolitlcsUK Well.....there are talks that the time maybe moved forward due to anticipated thunderstorms around original kickoff time .....still emergency legislation?
China’s robotaxi rollout into more cities is cutting fares and intensifying pressure on taxi drivers whose incomes already fell with ride-hailing apps.
A Wuhan system failure that stranded cars has also fuelled safety and reliability concerns.
Al Jazeera's @Katmyu reports.
The EU's latest bid to reset its trade and economic relationship with China is already floundering, with some member states and officials involved in the planning skeptical that the bloc is ready to take action should diplomacy fail https://t.co/Dusz3COjPm

Without unity and a clear-headed strategy we will not be able to face our adversaries, nor protect our industries and people’s livelihoods.
Either time for illusions and day-dreaming is well and truly over
@GERonAsia@lukedepulford Someone shall see if this violates "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide". Apply a so-called Chinese law to "worldwide" is a violation of sovereignty, isn't it?
With great concern, we note that the “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity” came into effect today in China 🇨🇳. It reinforces existing restrictions of religious, linguistic and cultural rights. Uyghurs, Tibetans and Mongols, but also religious minorities incl. Christians, are affected.
When a picture is worth 12 million words.

From today, the CCP thinks it has a legal basis to:
❌ Forcibly assimilate ethnic minorities.
❌ Criminalise dissent to protect “ethnic unity.”
❌ Target critics beyond its borders.
Following the EP resolution initiated by IPAC members, here is IPAC's statement:
自今日起,中共自認已取得法律依據,得以:
❌ 強制漢化少數民族。
❌ 以「維護民族團結」為藉口,將異見人士入罪。
❌ 將打壓黑手伸向海外,跨國鎖定批評者。
繼 IPAC 成員推動歐洲議會通過相關決議後,IPAC 正式發表以下聲明:
Sir John Major makes the essential point. Parents who send children to private school save the state money.
Labour’s tax on them has failed. Now the state has 2,000 fewer teachers than when Conservatives left office.
So we will reverse this futile, vindictive policy.
US intelligence agencies are working on a report to Congress that will disclose new details about the wealth of Chinese Communist Party leaders, including Party General Secretary Xi Jinping, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. h/t @Unveiled_ChinaX https://t.co/YuwmO6Nbsi
This is absolutely a national security concern.
Time for the UK government to put #CCPChina as Tier 1 foreign influence. Infiltration is the strongest strength of #CCPChina, and legal and education are 2 key target sectors for infiltration.

No one should ever call it Xizang. We must continue to call it by its proper name - #Tibet#FreeTibet
Welcome to ‘Xizang’: China is quietly, permanently trying to erase Tibet https://t.co/xhCyR1D881
