Together we can build effective international solidarity among the workers' movement here in Britain.
The repression of the Uyghur people and the exploitation of China's working class are not distant affairs - the products of these abuses flow through our workplaces and high streets.
Workers globally can + must organise to fight for rights throughout these supply chains!

These sanctions are a welcome step, especially as they punish state officials and not ordinary Chinese citizens.

Banning independent trade unions & conscripting minorities for forced labour is a great way to boost profits for corporate bosses - both China's home-grown "socialist" billionaires and the western businesses implicated in those supply chains.

The UK govt is refusing to welcome Uyghur refugees who are at risk of deportation to China from third countries.
This is outrageous. It underscores the need to confront the hypocrisy of a Tory govt that says it stands with victims of persecution but fails to give safe haven.
Foreign Office reply on Uyghurs being repatriated to China. Ministers need to be clearer about whether they and the UNHCR recognise that the lives of any Uyghurs sent back to the CCP will be at risk. Sending people back is like signing a death warrant.

Attacking Chinese students' immigration status isn't a legitimate response to the CCP, it's appalling racism.
More evidence we need to build a solidarity movement from below - not rely on cold warriors and nationalist powers more interested in their rivalries than human rights.
Today many Chinese students reported online that their F1 visa got revoked, including undergrads and those who are currently in the US. This is way beyond my prediction that repression only comes to PhD students.

Our govts says Uyghurs, Kazakhs & others escaping China don't deserve safety, unless they get all the right documents, leave & travel legally.
The state cracks down on them for having whatsapp or contacting relatives abroad. You think they can just stroll into a visa office?
Being a refugee means you won’t be given a visa to travel, which means you can’t travel ‘legally’.
But the Government’s ‘New Plan for Immigration’ says refugees who’ve travelled illegally don’t deserve our help

Imagine fleeing atrocities like those committed in East Turkestan. You seek safe haven in a country whose govt says it stands with the victims. And that govt then warehouses you in inhuman conditions while demonising you with the help of racist newspapers.
#RefugeesWelcome
The reason the govt is housing asylum seekers in disused army barracks and making plans for porta cabins in detention estates to house more is that the new asylum rules are guaranteed to produce an explosion in numbers of asylum seekers kept in limbo for long periods.

We remember the students who stood for democracy in the square, and the workers who fought for democracy in the workplace - and we pledge to continue their struggles.
Hundreds of diasporan/displaced Chinese, HKers, Central Asians, allies gather to remember 33 yrs
#TiananmenSquareMassacre

Total solidarity with Uyghur protesters, and all protesters across China, bravely standing up to a brutal government. The state's intensely repressive and unaccountable covid policies - particularly harsh on Uyghurs - killed at least ten Uyghurs, locked in a burning building.
Breaking: thousands of people are protesting in front of the party and government headquarters in Urumchi, capital of Uyghur homeland. November 25, in the evening 18, protests started, protesters are calling unlocking the city.

Racist police violence is a global business.

exposes a private company that trains cops globally, getting funding from the British govt for its work with China's police who are deployed to Xinjiang to brutally repress the Uyghur people.

Refugees from persecution and oppression around the world are so often met with hostility by the British government with its anti-migrant, anti-asylum-seeker policies.
Let them in, let them stay, & let them make lives here, in safety, with equal rights!

To oppose the new cold war, we need to build solidarity, not with the hawkish racist Chinese state, but the millions of workers, oppressed minorities and colonised peoples who face brutality and hyper-exploitation at the hands of the CCP and the profiteers it enables.

In organising this campaign, we've also encountered racists who use the plight of the Uyghur people, as well as the coronavirus, as vehicles for their prejudice and nationalism against Chinese people. There's no place for this.
I have asked for a meeting with Govt ministers on this issue but so far all I’ve had is a ‘not my department’ response. The far right will use any means to fuel hatred and attacks - including this pandemic. There should be no place for this in our society.

Yesterday's protest outside Apple in London, objecting to the presence of forced labour in their supply chains which is part of the Chinese state's genocidal drive against the Uyghur people.
