A Chinese woman just got arrested in Norway for allegedly setting up a secret satellite data receiver inside the Arctic Circle. The cover story was a legitimate Norwegian company. The target was polar orbit satellite data near one of Europe's most sensitive space facilities.

On May 7, 2026, Norway's domestic intelligence service PST arrested the suspect and searched two locations, one on Andøya island in northern Norway, home to Andøya Spaceport and a military weapons testing range, and one in Innlandet in southern Norway. A satellite receiver was seized and the operation shut down.

PST prosecutor Thomas Blom stated the operation was based on suspicion that a company registered in Norway was being used as a front for a Chinese state actor attempting to intercept downloads from polar orbit satellites. The data, he said, could "harm Norway's fundamental interests if it came into the hands of a foreign state." Several other people have also been charged in the same case.

Polar orbit satellites are particularly valuable for intelligence because they pass over Arctic and high-latitude regions repeatedly, capturing military, space, and infrastructure data that standard satellites miss. Andøya is not a random location. It sits inside the Arctic Circle and serves as a launch facility that is central to Europe's growing independent space ambitions.

Norway has consistently identified China as one of its primary espionage threats alongside Russia. The CCP's method here is consistent with its global pattern: register a legitimate local company, embed the operation inside it, and collect what would otherwise be inaccessible.

The receiver was seized. The network was not necessarily limited to one person.

[Tibetan history in Pictures @HistoryTibetan]

Since 1959, Tibet’s history has been marked by occupation, exile, repression and survival. After the March 10 uprising in Lhasa was crushed, thousands of Tibetans fled, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and rebuilt their lives in exile while trying to preserve a nation that China was determined to control. Inside Tibet, monasteries were destroyed, religious practice was restricted, language and culture came under pressure, and generations grew up under surveillance and political indoctrination. Yet Tibet’s story did not end in 1959. It continued through exile institutions, schools, protests, testimony, and the determination of Tibetans inside and outside Tibet to keep their history, identity and struggle alive. #TibetNotXizang #FreeTibet

On #InternationalWomensDay, @CECCGov honors the women in #China who take a stand for dignity and human rights—writers, organizers, and lawyers choosing to speak the truth, often at great personal cost. Their courage and resilience should remind us that a more just and democratic future for China is possible.

15 - China is helping Russia

China is helping Russia invade Ukraine, and in return Russia could help China invade Taiwan. And it would be harder for the US to squeeze out of its obligations to defend Taiwan, the Philippines, and Japan…

11 - COVID pandemic
When Chinese doctors tried to warn the world early, the authoritarian regime silenced them. And then switched to totalitarian controls once the virus had already spread.

3 - Taiwan is a country
Taiwan was never part of the People’s Republic of China, so no, it can’t be “separatist” from it nor a “renegade province.” China wants to conquer it through a murderous process called “war”. But they’ll call you a warmonger if you’re against that.

4 - Free Tibet
As a precedent to China’s planned invasion of Taiwan: they invaded, conquered, and annexed Tibet 75 years ago. Notice how no one dares suggest a referendum on independence. Curious.

5 - Hong Kong
Hong Kong didn’t “choose stability.” Beijing broke its own treaty obligations, dismantled autonomy, jailed opposition figures, and criminalised dissent. Again, no referendum on self-determination.

1 - Tiananmen Square massacre
Yes, it happened. Yes, it was a massacre. Vatniks, wumaos, and tankies in the West deny it, while China censors the slightest mention of it, even the date it happened.

A thoughtful study, confirming what we all suspected: Chinese government narratives (both about China and other countries) are embedded in Chinese AI models, even in the English-language. The implications of that are huge.

[Bodpa Warriors @BodpaW]

Beijing keeps repeating the lie that Tibet was “always part of China.” History tells a different story. In 1913, the 13th Dalai Lama declared Tibet’s independence after Qing forces were expelled. For decades Tibet governed itself with its own administration, taxation, and diplomacy. The CCP’s claim is propaganda, not fact. The world must stop legitimizing falsehoods, reject Beijing’s interference in the Dalai Lama’s succession, and stand with Tibet in defense of truth, dignity, and human rights.

The 14th Dalai Lama became one of the oldest Grammy Award winners ever at age 90, marking a new milestone for the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader that was quickly condemned by China.

HHDL: "I don't see it as something personal, but as a recognition of our shared universal responsibility. I truly believe that peace, compassion, care for our environment, & an understanding of the oneness of humanity are essential for the collective well-being of all eight billion human beings." The content of the album is centered on these topics.

"I'm grateful that this Grammy recognition can help spread these messages more widely," he said.
