The US Department of State has approved the potential sale of three weapons systems to Taiwan, including sensors, missiles and artillery that could have a total value of $1.8bn, the Pentagon said on Wednesday, amid rising tension over the self-ruled island that China claims as its own. https://www.aljazeera.com//us-state-dept-approves-1-8bn-in

How Tibet is still a factor in tensions between China and the US.

Concern about the Chinese state’s influence in the West has been growing in recent years. Relations with Beijing have soured accordingly, with numerous countries rejecting Huawei’s 5G provision and more actively criticising China’s authoritarian regime. But the degree of influence China already exercises in Western nations is greater than some realise.

The administration last week urged U.S. schools and colleges to rethink their ties to the institutes that bring Chinese language classes to America but, according to federal officials, also invite a malign influence from China.

According to early findings in the report, most of the 12 schools have had financial dealings with Huawei, the Chinese tech giant that some U.S. officials say is a threat to national security, and at least one had ties directly to the Chinese Community Party.

"While we welcome the announcement of a new Special Coordinator and congratulate Assistant Secretary Destro on the position, the appointment of the Special Coordinator below the Under Secretary of State level will not only make it more difficult for the Trump Administration implement longstanding US Tibet policy. Moreover, the appointment of the Special Coordinator at this level will be regarded by the Chinese government as a message that the Administration has downgraded the priority it gives to Tibet." https://savetibet.org/ict-statement-on-appointment-of-spec/

#VoteNoChina: Tomorrow's UN Human Rights Council election presents governments with a crucial opportunity to send a clear message to the Chinese authorities, that their total disregard for international law will not be tolerated. UN Member countries MUST NOT VOTE for China - one of the world’s MOST abusive governments.

Academics in the UK are speaking up about infiltration by repressive regimes into universities and demanding to be consulted about deals, such as those with China's Confucius Institutes, in an attempt to tackle threats to academic freedom on campuses. #noconfuciusinstitutes #AcademicFreedom

Thank you Lisa Nandy MP for calling on the UK government to publicly oppose #China’s election to the UN human rights council. To Dominic Raab, "You know, as well as anyone, that international law matters and that silence in the face of such horrors will be seen by some as complicity. You will be aware too of the potential significance of international action, coordinated by or through the UK, as demonstrated in recent developments at the UN.."... #VoteNoChina #FreeTibet #FreeEastTurkestan #StandWithHongKong #KeepTaiwanFree #DemocracyinChina #FreeSouthernMongolia

Over 100 Tibet groups urge UN States to take a stand and ensure China is not elected to the top human rights body next week https://buff.ly/3diVp7l

VOTE NO CHINA! For too long China has occupied Tibet, and without sufficient consequence, led a brutal crackdown against the Tibetan people. The world appears to now be waking up to the reality that something more serious needs to be done to counter the extremity of China’s bullying tactics and blatant refusal to cooperate with the UN Charter and International Law. The international community must send a clear message that it will not reward China, one of the world’s worst human rights abusers, with a seat on the top UN rights body. - Gloria Montgomery from Tibet Advocacy Coalition https://tibetnetwork.org/tibet-groups-urge-un-member-state/
