Taiwan jails four soldiers, including three who worked in presidential office, for spying for China. CCP’s deep infiltration in Taiwan is a massive problem. https://t.co/Xh1GfxwvLi

3/ A direct link between the suspension of US intelligence sharing and the start of the collapse of Ukraine's salient in Kursk Oblast is unclear, although Kremlin officials have recently announced their intention to take advantage of the suspension of US military aid and intelligence sharing to "inflict maximum damage" to Ukrainian forces "on the ground" during the limited time frame before the possible future resumption of US intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine.

Journalists and rights-based civil society organisations are under increasing pressures, including the Hong Kong Journalist Association. The European Union urges the Hong Kong authorities to protect the ability of the people of Hong Kong to exercise their rights. (2/2)

[Anitta Hipper @ExtSpoxEU]

The EU is deeply concerned about the further narrowing of the space for civil society in Hong Kong. We are aware of pressure put on the Democratic Party to disband, while the independent polling institute PORI has suspended research activities. (1/2)

Early morning today we received information that the data cable from Latvia to Sweden was damaged in the Baltic Sea, in the section that is located in the Exclusive economic zone of Sweden. We are working together with our Swedish Allies and NATO on investigating the incident, including to patrolling the area, as well as inspecting the vessels that were in the area. Authorities have intensified information exchange and started criminal investigation.

The list of officials to be sanctioned in the Hong Kong Sanctions Act is a who’s-who of rights abusers: SecForJustice, NSC head, Police Commissioner, 29 judges & 16 prosecutors in political trials. HKers will be pleased to see them held accountable.

FINALLY: White House just announced the extension & expansion of Hong Kong’s DED.

The two-year extension will continue to offer a crucial lifeline for eligible Hong Kongers to remain in the United States—a haven from political persecution in today’s repressive Hong Kong.
