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

THREAD:

Most governments have made mistakes in handling #COVID19

A few - especially #Taiwan - have been exemplary. We should learn from them

But there's one which more than any other is responsible for unleashing this pandemic upon us all: the Chinese Communist Party regime
First, they tried to cover up the truth

They repressed the whistleblowers - the doctors and citizen journalists who were trying to alert the world

Then, they failed to inform the WHO & the world in a timely way

Then, they refused offers of help from the United States
Then, they insisted #Taiwan - which was one of first to warn of danger & has handled the pandemic in exemplary way - be excluded from the WHO for petty political reasons

And their man - @DrTedros - went along with it

We should have been learning from Taiwan, not excluding them

So guys: wake up

We need to diversify supply chains

Why are we buying PPE, ventilators, from Chinese Communist Party which gave the world the pandemic in the first place?

First they send us the disease to kill us

Then they sell us - at high price - equipment to protect us?
We need to make masks, ventilators, PPE, food, other sources of daily survival ourselves

But also we need to invest in and trade with countries that don't commit mass atrocities, breach international treaties or inflict pandemics on the world

Eg:

#Taiwan, #Japan, #SouthKorea
Eg #Indonesia #India #Malaysia #Brazil #Singapore

And others ...

These should be our major trading and investment partners: NOT the Chinese Communist Party regime.

THREAD: As the Vatican prepares to renew its ridiculous deal with the Chinese Communist Party regime, which has delivered precisely zero for the Church & only entrenched the regime's repression, I remind you what I've been saying for past few years:

THREAD: I want to say some things about China, Chinese people, the brutal, mendacious Chinese Communist Party regime, & what we should do about it all.

I am conscious that I tweet a lot. But bear with me and follow this thread if you have time.

First: I love China & its people
Second, I first went to China aged 18

I began my exploration of the world by teaching English in Qingdao

I studied a Masters in China Studies at @SOAS

I lived in #HongKong for the first 5 years after the handover

I began my adult life in China

Third, for the first 3 decades of my adult life, I went in & out of China regularly - I have lost count, but I have probably visited China more than 50 times

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Qingdao, Dali, Guilin, Yangshuo are places I love :)
