BIG DEAL: I just tried to retweet the AP story from late June on forced sterilizations of Uygur women after @letahong said she couldn't tweet it. Twitter just rejected my tweet, saying it had been "flagged as suspicious." WHAT is going on?
@LetaHong Here is the twitter notice I got.
So I just tweeted another random AP story with a longish link as well, the one on Russia hacking. No difficulty.

I just tweeted another AP story, one on Russia hacking, no problem. But seems other AP stories are also having problems, not just Uyghur/China related. So evidence certainly suggests this is a Twitter bug. I'd hope they'll fix this soon.

A new generation of the extended Chao family starts maxing out to Mitch McConnell. A college freshman who, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, doled out more than $10k. Elaine Chao’s family has been one of McConnell’s biggest supporters over several decades, NYT reported.
It’s all laid out in this story from last year. nytimes.com/2019/06/02/us/…
In that story you’ll read that Elaine Chaio’s family, including her father, started bundling donations to McConnell in the days after the June 1989 Tiananmen Massacre. Weeks later her father was at the Communist Party’s inner sanctum in Beijing, meeting the Chinese leader

THREAD: The long, sad history of presidential siblings, children and in-laws who somehow find incredible business opportunities in the People's Republic of China. Have a seat. Buckle up.
Let's start with Neil Bush, brother of 43 and son of 41. He's been a fixture in China for years. Being the son of George H.W. Bush, America's top envoy in the 1970s, served him well. In 2002 he got a great gig (for $400k) to consult for a certain Chinese company....
That company? Grace Semiconductor, co-founded by Jiang Mianheng, son of Jiang Zemin, the president at the time. Who was president of the US then? George W. Bush, Neil's brother. See this LAT story:

THREAD: Some facts about the family of Li Peng, the longtime premier of China who just died. Rumors about his family's vast wealth have circulated for years. I have looked for that fortune for years and years. Here is what I know. (I will add to this thread over several days)...
1/x: So let's begin in 1928. Li Peng is born. Three years later his father, Li Shuoxun, a Communist, is killed in Hainan. He becomes a martyr. A few years later, another young Communist is gunned down in the prime of his life....his name is Liu Bojian. (刘伯坚)
2/x: Liu Bojian also had a young boy in 1928, his name was Liu Husheng (刘虎生）。 The young Li Peng and the young Liu Husheng had parallel lives. The sons of Communist Party martyrs. They both went off in the 1950s to study in Moscow to study engineering. Then they had children
