1/2 Urovekkende ofte framstilles Kina som en potensiell leder for en regelstyrt verdensorden. Denne oppfatningen forutsetter manglende innsikt i hvordan Beijing undergraver denne ordenen. I dag publiserer Aftenposten et innlegg jeg har skrevet om dette. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...
Feier realitetene om Kina under teppet
Kina bryter folkeretten, presser kritikere økonomisk og støtter Russlands krigføring. Da blir det feil at Aftenposten omtaler landet som en forsvarer av en regelbasert verdensorden.

It was an honor to present @freedomhouse.bsky.social's Freedom Award to Claire Lai, who accepted on behalf of her father, Jimmy Lai. In recognizing Jimmy, we send a message to Beijing: we remember, we are watching, and we won't stop until Jimmy Lai and all political prisoners are free.

The defense is 100% right, of course. No need to look further than to Taiwan. There, the one party (KMT) rule ended without the government being overthrown. And KMT has remained a factor in Taiwanese politics ever since. @hongkongfp.com hongkongfp.com/2026/03/11/c...

Celebrating the existence of Hong Kong heroine(s) Gwyneth Ho (and Chow Hang-tung) on International Women's Day. What a sad indictment of Hong Kong that they are political prisoners. At the same time, it is a tribute to (pre-NSL) Hong Kong that it produced women like them.

Trump påstår at regjeringen bestemmer hvem som får fredsprisen. Det er selvsagt tull. Men regjeringen må stilles til ansvar for innblandingen i tildelingen til den kinesiske dissidenten Liu Xiaobo. Regjeringen må ta avstand fra normaliseringserklæringen fra 2016. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...
