UN - F***ING - BELIEVABLE! Italy lending itself to worst possible combo of Uyghur Forced Labor meets BRI by welcoming China-Europe train carrying tainted goods to Salerno 🇮🇹. This train should simply be stopped from entering EU territory!

Weird.

The metadata in this letter from Michael Beckerman, TikTok’s head of public policy, to the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party lists the author as 郑涵 (Zheng Han).

Ukraine aid and REPO (to confiscate russian sovereign assets) have passed the Senate and are headed to the President’s desk. To victory! 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

Tonight, the countdown for TikTok begins. Once President Biden signs the legislation, it must divest from its Chinese Communist Party-controlled parent company ByteDance within nine months.
