The Chinese leadership has let me know that I will not be allowed to visit the mainland, Hong Kong or Macao. But then there is Taiwan. :-)

#HongKong's pan-dem's efforts to win #LegCo elections back in 2020 are now prosecuted as "conspiring to subvert state power". Brazen cynicism. Completely in violation of Hong Kong Basic Law. Violates ICCPR signed by Hong Kong in 1998. #CCP dictatorship.https://t.co/lbUjwxOzcv

Hong Kong governed by Hong Kongers? Nope. Just look at this thread! https://t.co/jmFX2evI8O

Merkel, Macron, Michel and von der Leyen have so far refused to explain their China deal to the public. So far, so bad. But if they dodge the issue of this Beijing imposed persecution of Hong Kong democrats now, too, they should be considered as leaders in political cowardice. https://t.co/Wnm3yqQUPR
