Pompeo: Not Cold War 2.0 – CCP Threat Worse than Soviet Union
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, "What's happening now isn't Cold War 2.0", as the threat China poses to Western countries is in some ways "worse" than that posed by the former Soviet Union.
Addressing the Czech Senate on his first stop of the five-day visit to Central Europe on Wednesday, August 12, Pompeo spoke about "the challenge of resisting the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] threat is in some ways worse" than that during the cold war, because “the CCP is already enmeshed in our economies, in our politics, in our societies in ways the Soviet Union never was.”
In his speech, he recalled the years of Soviet suppression of the Czech Republic. While Russia continues to "undermine" Czech democracy and security using disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks, Pompeo believes that China would pose an even greater threat because of her "campaigns of coercion of control". As an example, he cited the cancellation of the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's concert tour in China due to Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib's pro-Taiwan policies, arguing that this shows that “the CCP leverages economic power to coerce countries".
Pompeo also mentioned that during the Cold War, the Czech Republic, "and others that suffered behind the Iron Curtain, know best of all how deeply communists plunge societies into ruin and repression". He urged Czech senators to "stand up for the sovereignty and freedoms" that the Czech people demanded for their country between 1968 and 1989.

'Holocaust Victim' Trend on #TikTok
Role-playing Holocaust victims has been trending on the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok. The video function allows people to show fake bruises and wear a striped inmate outfit or one of the armbands marked with the Star of David Jews were ordered to wear under Nazi Germany.
The Auschwitz museum that was built on a death camp in Poland described this behavior as "hurtful and offensive" and are "dangerously close or already beyond the border of trivialization of history".
In reality, rthe Holocaust marked the Nazi’s genocide of 6 million European Jews, with approximately one million people killed at the Auschwitz camp between 1940 and 1945 including more than 100,000 non-Jews.

#CCP's smearing and crackdown campaign on #HongKong finds a precedent in #Tibetan history. The despicable actions of #Beijing has a pattern. While resisting and fighting against CCP now, the world must also be wary of them applying the same nasty strategies on its next targets such as #Taiwan.

With #China rapidly becoming #NorthKorea, how can anyone, any government still believe that befriending #CCP is a profitable enterprise?! You are witnessing the rise of a Fascist regime, the more elaborate the propaganda, the more insecure the party actually is. What power do you have against #XiJinping? Tell your government, with letters, votes, protests that you refuse to be the accomplice of a human rights oppressor. #Decouple now!!

There are good reasons why #Baltic countries, especially Lithuania - standing up for their values recently against #CCP - are places that #hongkonger want to turn their city into.
#Lithuania maybe far away and not as powerful as many other nations, but we cannot belittle this little country, especially with the courage they shown.
#Salute!

HK Secretary for Security Warns Against Promoting Secession on #DoubleTenDay: "We'll Surely Find Evidence to Prove What You Think"
In Hong Kong, the Secretary for Security, Chris Tang Ping-Keung, warned Hong Kong citizens not to "attempt splitting Taiwan from China", or to "encourage or to incite people to take related actions on October 10", also known as the "Double Ten Day", Taiwan's national day.
In a Sing Tao Daily's exclusive interview, Tang, the former police commissioner and currently Security Chief, claimed that such behaviours are "serious crimes", and the authorities will definitely enforce the law.
Tang also asked, "If there is no intention to split a country, why would you celebrate this date [The Double Ten Day]?"
In the past Double Ten Days, supporters of Taiwan had hosted events in Hong Kong, displaying the "Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth" flag of the Republic of China. However, the Flag-raising Ceremony at Hung Lau, Tuen Mun was cancelled in 2020 due to the implementation of the national security law.
Lee Kwok-Keung, Director of Labor Research at the Hong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council, indicates that the council have been celebrating the Double Ten Day since 1948. It commemorates the #XinhaiRevolution and the establishment of the Republic of China. He believes that the celebrations cannot be simply equated to secession.
Tang emphasizes that the main point is whether there is an intention to split the country. "If you truly want to separate Taiwan from China, we will surely find evidence to prove what you think and what you do."
The Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government does commemorate the Xinhai Revolution; in fact, on 9 Oct 2011, a commemoration of its 100th anniversary was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Then-General Secretary Hu Jintao, then-Premier Wen Jiabao, Vice-Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping, former General Secretary Jiang Zemin, former Premier Li Peng, and former chief executive who is also a vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Tung Chee-Hwa participated in that meeting. A huge photo of #SunYatSen, honored as the founder of modern China both on the mainland and in Taiwan, was on display at the center of the hall.

Literal #MinistryofTruth here. The reason why #CCP is so dead set on distorting the history of #TiananmenSquare? Because it is its greatest sore spot. The entire world witnessed a massacre, but the tyrant is simply incapable of admitting that it has done something horrible and wrong.
