THREAD: Delighted that @ShaunBaileyUK, @Conservatives candidate for #MayorofLondon, has put action in response to the Chinese Communist Party in his manifesto

He promises City Hall sanctions on China until
it stops human rights abuses & sets out how/

See bit.ly/32DfKzz

He says:

"China is undermining human
rights in #HongKong through it’s
oppressive national security law and
committing genocide against #Uyghurs
in Xinjiang. I have repeatedly
called for the @MayorofLondon to use
City Hall’s influence to stand up to
China"

"City Hall’s extensive links to Beijing means that this is an action well within the Mayor’s remit. I will implement City Hall sanctions on China. I will end the twinning arrangement between London and Beijing"/

He promises to "halt all Mayoral delegations to China, close the 3 offices in China .... refuse hospitality from Chinese Government and introduce an obligation for TfL pension fund trustees to consider issues of human rights when investing in companies"/

Thank you @ShaunBaileyUK for taking this stand - for speaking out and standing up for #HongKongers, #Uyghurs and everyone suffering under the repressive Chinese Communist Party regime
