UPDATE: SFT ACTIVIST INTERRUPTS AMB. XIE AGAIN DURING TALK

SFT activist asked Xie how he could be at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government when the Chinese government is directly violating every human rights law in the world.

Again, the Ambassador was stunned into silence.

Attention rightly on the Ukraine aspect 👏

❗️But barely noticed is the TikTok part of this odd bill bundle - which forces TikTok to jettison Chinese parent company ByteDance❗️

Hard for the Senate to stall this now. TikTok likely to be under US ownership before long.

I pray that I live long enough to see a mainland Chinese leader get on that list, being called a champion of free speech and human rights. At the moment, mainland Chinese leaders are ranked alongside the likes of Putin, Stalin, Lenin and Hitler. #freeTibet #freeXinjiang #freeHK

This is just the latest example of the grotesque undermining of #HongKong school students' education by imposing #CCP propaganda on them and threatening them with penalties if they fail to adhere to the CCP's lies 👇

Hong Kongers in the U.S. persist despite repression & threats. Chicago Solidarity with Hong Kong leads protest against top Hong Kong SAR gov’t official as he visits the Windy City.

It’s one thing to read historical accounts of the Cultural Revolution. To intellectualize it.

It’s quite another to experience the visceral violation of your conscience from seeing it on a TV screen (Netflix’s 3 Body Problem)

Radio Free Asia on Friday announced it has closed its Hong Kong bureau, saying the city’s recently enacted national security law, also known as “Article 23,” has raised safety concerns for its reporters and staff members.

At least 12 protests in Taiwan, Canada & the UK this weekend against the draconian new #Article23 national security legislation in #HongKong .
Here: Leeds, Birmingham, Nottingham, Sutton

Article 23 is officially enacted in Hong Kong.
