On the proposed mega Chinese embassy, the current Government does have a sticky position. But any assurance from Beijing to Labour ministers can't be trusted and could well be in breach of the ministerial code. Considering all aspects, Just Say NO!

The European Political Community meeting in Copenhagen, the French seizing of a shadow fleet tanker and transferring Russia's frozen assets to defend Ukraine. Important stories this week missed by the UK media, which is increasingly becoming tabloid magazine. www.dw.com/en/ukraine-u...

Falling for the 'China dream' on iron ore, soya beans or canola contracts is falling straight into CCP's whole-of-society hybrid warfare. We're not using our power to build mutual interests like partnering with the global south. Meanwhile diminishing our capacity through embed economic dependency.

US secret service stopped Chinese-linked plot to disrupt communications in New York. What will happen to communications in the City of London if China is allowed to build its mega embassy over fibre optic cables at the Old Royal Mint? abcnews.go.com/US/thwarted-...

What signal does it send to #China when Labour's first action is to send the Chancellor to China in dreams of trade that'll never come true? Stop this message of weakness! Today's 1 Oct is perfect to tell Beijing its assertiveness and bounty-hunting has no place in the UK or anywhere in the world!

The MI5 alert over 'Chinese agent' Christine Lee, the abrupt dropping of charges on the Cash espionage case - to which the Speaker of the House says, "leaves the door open to foreign actors" and the guilty Chinese spy charge in Germany points to the need to take an incredibly serious China audit.

Taiwan energised the whole of civil society in the Sunflower Movement. For 23 days, determined Taiwanese objected the trade deals with China proposed by former President Ma. In China, the CCP leadership could never tolerate any question raised from the civil society. How can China claim Taiwan?

Last week I was at the @libdems.org.uk Conference. Here are some of the things I got up to👇📸

On asylum and migration, what we need is halting the hostile perspectives from the last Conservative government. Look forward. Because the migrants' vision is to build a brighter future in the only place we can call home.

In China, digital ID is used to restrict movements, restrict work and deploy social score to control who you might want to make friends with. Just like Black Mirror S3E1. Without proper consultation, without a digital bill of rights, we're glad the Lib Dems say NO to Mandatory ID.

Back in 2020, Ming Campbell was one of the 904 parliamentarians who stated that the imposing of National Security Law in HK by China is a 'fragrant breach of the Joint Declaration' A champion of principles, he will be missed by all.

Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant. His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom. But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague. We will miss him terribly.

This shows China's deep operations within the UK, spying on UK residents. We must correctly frame the Chinese leadership for what it is - place China onto the FIRS Enhanced-tier. Beijing's repression must not be allowed to curtail free speech in the UK. www.independent.co.uk/asia/china/z...

The Reform UK party had NEVER joined any cross-party support for the rights of Hong Kongers. Let's just call Reform UK out for what it is: A party with no guts! x.com/Channel4News...

Hong Kongers in the UK, and across the world, face growing threats from Beijing’s campaign of transnational repression. Yet the Labour Government risks repeating the Conservatives’ failure to take these threats seriously.

Thank you Wera. And thank you for sharing your experience.

When politicians ignore warnings and frame institutions in the language of multipolarity and multilateralism, when in fact, are institutions not truly multilateral, as by design they imply and facilitate Chinese, meaning the CCP, leadership ... Join discussion at #LDconf | Sat, 1pm Bayview Suite 1

My new article on LDV. With Labour’s unclear plan to tighten the immigration rules, a lot of Hong Kongers in the UK worried whether they need to stay longer before they can obtain British citizenship, and they can’t plan for the future. #BN(O) #YesF34 www.libdemvoice.org/labour-and-t...

I urge liberal democracies governments not to be fooled by Beijing's claim that the LGBT 'no' vote demonstrates it's not a rubber-stamp legislature. The reality is Beijing has FULL CONTROL playing an act which ignores the rule-of-law in #HongKong. - @larryngan1.bsky.social

#StopTransnationalRepression Being soft on China, not blocking the mega Chinese embassy once and for all, will be another win for China's repression. We 🔶 must be determined to protect the Rules-Based International Order. - Larry Ngan #LDconf #YesF34 @larryngan1.bsky.social

Multiple reports raised concerns on the disproportionate organ transplant centres in Xinjiang & its low transplant rates. We acknowledge #China grievous human rights violation on Uyghurs & other ethnic minorities. When Xi talks about organ transplant to help with his mortality, that's disturbing.

When Beijing speaks of multipolarity, #China means "to get off our backs so that we can subjugate our neighbours." Beijing wants subjects in Taiwan, just like Moscow wants subjects in Ukraine. What's our counter? Fringe discussion #LDconf, Sat 1pm Bayview Suite 1 experts: Ms Kaloko & Mr Hemmings.

Instead of investing $5billion (usd) for the good of her people, #China spent it on a spectacle "of strength" - hardware used to crash her citizens. President Xi neglects China's dominant problems in the economy, labour and social issues because he have "peace through strength" ~ Personal peace?

While it may initially seem funny ~ in the UK we know pubs in Cosworth shut out 💩stirring VP Vance. Why were these populism protesters in Australia treated well at a Chinese dim-sum restaurant? It's worth investigating China & Russia disinformation campaign 💩 stirring the peace in our democracies.

With TACO Trump flip-flopping his "trade deals", let's project true global Britain by inviting Taiwan's president - for a UK stopover - roundtable with European E3 Show liberal democracies empower each other for resilient networks against the autocratic networks of China, Russia & Iran.

The Liberal Democrats are committed to protecting the rights of #HongKongers This Party Conference, @larryngan1.bsky.social will lead in calling for the UK Government to implement protection for activists against foreign intimidation. There's no place for transnational repression.

It's right that the UK Government released a rare joint-minister statement on transnational repression from #China on #HongKong activists. Now, we need the UK Government to stop the plans for the mega Chinese Embassy in London. Stop facilitating transnational repression! www.gov.uk/government/n...

5 years ago today, HK campaigners incl' fellow sister parties advocates helped project the truth about HK Police Corruption with triad members. They're charged under the National Security Legislation. This conference, we'll highlight UK's need to #StandwithHongKong hongkongfp.com/2019/07/27/e...
