Happy Mother's Day to Mama Krach, an amazing mother and grandmother. She likes to remind me: "Don't live in the past, but never forget where you came from." Don't worry, Mama Krach; I speak of it often, and fondly.

TikTok is a digital virus. @WSJ reports, "more than two dozen state governments have placed web-tracking code made by TikTok parent ByteDance Ltd. on official websites..." Communist China's weaponization of TikTok and their pursuit of digital authoritarianism must be stopped.

I've been going to China since 1981, but @StateDeptSpox Ned and I know a China visit is not required to comprehend the UNโ€™s definition of Punishable Genocide. See the link for the Central Committee's reference. What CCP dictionary are you using, Miss Hua?

@StateDeptSpox Ned Price claimed "genocide has taken place in #Xinjiang ". Has he looked up the word "genocide" in the dictionary? Does he know what the word exactly means? Has he ever been to #China ?

Xi Jinping has consolidated power in Communist China and it should put every business leader in America on high alert. China's threat to Taiwan is real, as are the economic implications. The world saw the Ukrainian attack coming, knowing full well that Putin is not in the habitโ€ฆ

Helping others in need without expecting anything in return is the definition of a pure heart. The impact of these actions often has a ripple effect far beyond what we can see.

In conversation with @VOANews , It's vitally important that we continue to strengthen economic ties between the US and Taiwan. Taiwan is a role model for democracy and capitalism in the region and in the whole world.

More than 100 million Americans are unwittingly invested in sanctioned Chinese companies associated with concentration camps, slave labor, #UyghurGenocide and the development of Chinaโ€™s advanced weaponry. We are literally subsidizing our top foreign adversary. Ironically,โ€ฆ

Technology is either grounded in trust principles (rule of law, human rights, property, transparency, sovereignty, environment) to advance freedom, or it is weaponized by authoritarian regimes to control and oppress. @TechDiplomacy believes technology must advance freedom.

"The Europeans are fed up with Chinaโ€™s intransigence over the many ways its state-owned or state-guided firms buy into the EUโ€™s single market to distort competition or snaffle up technologies." Countries and companies are responding to the CCPโ€™s bullying.
