🇺🇸 We welcome the latest @USTreasury sanctions against individuals and entities in China and #HongKong facilitating illicit weapons procurement for Iran. As Hong Kong continues to be used to move arms to Tehran and critical tech to Moscow, strict enforcement is vital to close these loopholes and deter future evasion, especially in the case of a Taiwan conflict. reuters.com/business/finance…

Today, our 🇨🇦 Patron @Alduceppe MP and Chair @benedictrogers spoke on panels at the @IUFforum in Berlin, examining the multilateral system and addressing how to build sustainable activism.

RT @IUFforum: We are about to wrap up the second day of the International Uyghur Forum 2026, but first, participants will join a series of…

🚨 Hong Kong Watch strongly condemns the enactment of the Safeguarding National Security (Procedural Matters) Regulation, which grants #HongKong Chief Executive John Lee the power to certify any criminal case as a national security matter. This law was passed without due process, and aligns with the anniversaries of 4 June, 9 June and 12 June, which all underscore the need for fundamental freedoms in the city. We urge the international community to take immediate action to hold those responsible to account. hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

May 2026 brought landmark spy convictions in 🇬🇧, further crackdowns on press freedom, and transnational repression ahead of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Read our latest monthly #HongKong human rights briefing👇 hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

Last night, our Chair @benedictrogers moderated a “fireside chat” with Dr. Jhy-Wey Shieh, Taiwanese Ambassador to the EU and Belgium, at the @IUFforum in Berlin. They covered critical global issues, including: • The future of EU-China relations; • Threats to Taiwan’s sovereignty; • Transnational repression; • The deteriorating human rights environment in China, #HongKong, Tibet, and the Uyghur region.

Seven years on from the 2019 protests in #HongKong, our Chair @benedictrogers has written this message of solidarity for Hong Kongers, encouraging us to always remember 612 and take care of one another as the fight for freedom goes on 👇

This week, our Policy Director @megan_khoo launched our latest briefing on 🇪🇺 exposure to 🇨🇳 rare earth dominance in Brussels. We urge @Europarl_EN to name China as a strategic dependency risk in the European Critical Raw Minerals Act, and to recognise the strategic leverage of #HongKong. You can read the briefing here: hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

This week, our Policy Director @megan_khoo attended a private roundtable hosted by C4ADS in Brussels, where they examined how open-source data analysis can combat 🇨🇳 digital surveillance. Read their latest report below👇

Seven years ago, the people of #HongKong showed the world their courage and resilience during the anti-extradition law protests. Today, as we mark the anniversary of the ‘612 incident’, we pay tribute to them and stand in solidarity with Hong Kongers worldwide in their ongoing fight for freedom. hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

🚨 The @FBI has seized 13 websites allegedly used by 🇨🇳 agents to recruit 🇺🇸 officials with security clearances, the latest escalation following last week’s Five Eyes warning about China’s use of LinkedIn and other platforms to target Western government employees. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/10/p…

Today, our Policy Director @megan_khoo met with @EnginEroglu_FW, Chair of the European Parliament's Delegation for relations with the People's Republic of China. She highlighted why the 🇪🇺 must take immediate steps, including through the European Critical Raw Minerals Act, to reduce its dependence on 🇨🇳 rare earth minerals.

Productive meeting with @eu_eeas to discuss our briefing on 🇨🇳’s monopoly on rare earth minerals, #FreeJimmyLai, and proposed legislation in #HongKong that would allow the Chief Executive to deem any crime a national security offence.

Thank you to our Patron @jameswnaish for writing to @MikeTappTweets on the impact of new ILR requirement on #BNO's ability to withdraw #MPF savings. 13 months on since the immigration reform was proposed, @GOVUK must clarify that the original requirements offered to BNOs will be maintained - at the earliest opportunity. Prolonged uncertainty over ILR requirements is affecting thousands of British Nationals, as they try to plan careers, university study, and retirement.

As we mark the seventh anniversary of the 2019 protests in #HongKong this week, our Chair @benedictrogers outlines the implications of the new subsidiary legislation under Article 23 and encourages Hong Kongers to never lose hope, for ‘it is always darkest before the dawn’. ucanews.com/news/a-pyongyang…

Looking forward to travelling to Berlin tomorrow for @IUFforum, where I have the privilege of moderating the “fireside chat” with the Ambassador of #Taiwan to the EU on the opening night and speaking in a panel about transnational repression.

Today, our Policy Director @megan_khoo launched our new briefing on the 🇪🇺's exposure to 🇨🇳's monopoly on rare earth minerals in Brussels. With 100% of the EU's processed rare earths originating in China, closing the gap on this dependence requires faster supply-side delivery, demand guarantees, and credible deterrence.
