Insane, #chinese #embassy #officials #dragged a #hongkong #protestor off the street, into their #compound and #beat him: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NPqPHdznij8 #china 's #ccp instantly claimed that they didn't know what happened, but things should resume as normal. *This is not okay.*
#china 's #ccp is #afraid that it's #london #embassy made become #targetted by #protestors due to their poor #humanrights #record https://www.lotuseaters.com/china-demand.. The only reason to save the #building itself is its #historic #value - otherwise the #staff are free to be #protested . Read: not #attacked , no #violence - but if you are part of #communist #regime that does #awful things - expect people to #protest and #demonstrate their #opposition
Very interesting development regarding #china 's #ccp and #lithuania https://www.economist.com/china/lithuani.. Seems as though #diplomatic #relations have entirely broken down and their #embassy need to do an #emergency #evacuation ...
Oh dear, a posting at the #us #afghanistan #embassy is still up! https://www.daybook.com/jobs/APjftrJrSCT.. The #hackernews #comments on this are great: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=281..

Seems as though the #us #embassy in #afghanistan has been #evacuated in a massive hurry: https://twitter.com/AdityaRajKaul/status.. I think at this point we might consider that #afghanistan is now lost. I suspect they will #withdraw #airsupport within the next few days too, as their people will be out...
It #annoys me to no end to hear my #countrymen selling out their Country: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-.. Apparently a man from the #uk was #contracted to work at a #british #embassy in #berlin and got caught selling documents to #russia - luckily he doesn't have #diplomatic #immunity and can have the book thrown at him. That said, he could also be selling documents on purpose as a #misinformation campaign.
