The HKETO Certification Act is reintroduced tdy w/ bipartisan & @CECCgov support by @SenRubioPress & @SenJeffMerkley (Senate) & Chris Smith & @RepMcGovern (House). Beijing shld not enjoy 2 diplomatic representations in the US. This bill will reevaluate the certification of that.
@KaterMikeschMex The tried-and-true CCP parrot route: Falling back on false claims about China not being in the wrong. I can see we’re done here. Fun talking to you, housecat
The governor of China’s western region of Xinjiang will not be visiting Britain this week, according to the UK Foreign Office, after a backlash from MPs over alleged human rights abuses in the region.

@KaterMikeschMex “Innocent” in this case is not murdering, imprisoning, enslaving, or promoting fear of Muslims, at home or abroad, and justifying it by pointing to the actions of a very small number of people.
Neither the West nor China is innocent.
Want to say it together?
Most Uyghurs live in East Turkistan. Contrary to China’s false propaganda, Turkistan existed before there was even a United States of America (1684 map below). Uyghurs don’t need to be “instigated” to regain their independence as it’s natural to resist foreign/Chinese occupation.
Half by accident I ended up in #Wuhan Zhongshan park where retirees are still trying to protest against pension reforms. The number of both police and plainclothes thugs is overwhelming. Which is exactly the point of course. But damn, those elderly are brave.
@KaterMikeschMex By all means, hold Western governments accountable for their crimes against Muslims. They’re guilty of a lot. I’d say just stop pretending the PRC is innocent, but that’s clearly all you’re here to do
@KaterMikeschMex The housecat posts an image of smiling Uyghurs to imply all is well in East Turkistan. Look how happy these Chinese children are to be standing with this Japanese soldier. Clearly there was no Nanjing massacre if this photo could exist
The UK is running a stress test of its economy based on a scenario that #China has occupied #Taiwan and chip supplies have dried up. The assumption is that Covid will look like a walk in the park by comparison.

@ttruthtweet We know the PRC told the world the camps didn’t exist when it was clear they did. Why lie about them if they’re just “education centers?” Why can’t my Uyghur friends contact their family members if they’re just learning vocational skills?
Regarding people detained during COVID protests, an official from the Ministry of Public Security says there are no statistics on the number detained.
Whether people will ultimately be prosecuted depends on the particulars of the case.
[This is thus a clear dodge of👇]
With regards to the question on Hui rights, the official from the Ministry of Public Security says there are #Hui autonomous regions and counties.
Cultural rights are well protected. Says he worked there and there were 2,000 religious sites, said ppl joked that more than schools
➡️ If the Committee on Safeguarding National Security can decide what constitutes #National#Security, how do you ensure that this the impact limited?
➡️ Regarding the #HK#National#Security hotline, how many cases have you received and how do you follow up on these cases?
Reminder: to the best of CHRD’s knowledge, no #Uyghur detained in recent years has been able to access a lawyer of their choice.
In a context when people are detained for being “two faced” or just having history books, who would be willing to file a lawsuit to protect rights?
