British MPs Call for Boycotting Beijing Winter Olympics: Uyghur Genocide Evidence is Clear, but the UK Has No Spine to Resist
The British political circle continues to suppress Beijing on human right issues in China. Some parliamentarians and dignitaries call on the government, the Olympic Committee and athletes to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics next year.
Both UK Liberal Democratic Party Leader Ed Davey and Labour Party Member Chris Bryant urged the government and British Olympics Committee to boycott Beijing Winter Olympics. Davey indicated that the Winter Olympics would be a tool for Beijing's political propaganda. He also stated that the genocide evidence in Xinjiang done by China is very conclusive. All five types of genocide listed in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against Genocide occurred in Xinjiang. He accused that the British government of not daring to act is cowardly. “It is so strange that the British government has so far failed to resist. I cannot see why people would still want to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics. In my opinion, the British Olympics Committee should urge the International Olympics Committee to hold the Olympics games in other places. Otherwise, we will boycott."

Chinese Coast Guard Enters Waters Near Diaoyu Islands for 2 Consecutive Days after the Coast Guard Law Passed
After the China Coast Guard (CCG) Law taking into effect this month, Chinese coast guard vessels entered the waters near the Diaoyu Islands (known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan) for two consecutive days. The islands are under sovereignty dispute with Japan.
According to Japan's 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, two Chinese Coast Guard vessels had entered Japanese territorial waters near the Japan-claimed Senkaku Islands on Tuesday at around 4:45 a.m. Japanese authorities said that the Chinese Coast Guard vessels turned their bow toward two Japanese fishing boats and tried to approach them. The Japan Coast Guard deployed patrol boats to ensure the safety of the fishing boats and issued a warning to the Chinese Coast Guard, asking them to leave the territorial waters.

For Europe, confronting China should begin at home
All eyes may currently be on Russia, but meanwhile, concerns regarding the European Union’s relationship with China continue to mount. From the diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics to confronting China’s economic punishment of Lithuania and tackling its authoritarian model within the multilateral system, the list grows longer by the day. However, it’s important to remember that, just like with Russia, simply achieving a unified EU position on China is not a fait accompli.

Exclusive: U.S. calls for 'concrete action' from China on trade deal
U.S. officials called on Monday for "concrete action" from China to make good on its commitment to purchase $200 billion in additional U.S. goods and services in 2020 and 2021 under the "Phase 1" trade deal signed by former President Donald Trump.
The officials said Washington was losing patience with Beijing, which had "not shown real signs" in recent months that it would close the gap in the two-year purchase commitments that expired at the end of 2021.
