China took the first shot in 2009 barring Facebook, Twiitter, Wikipedia, certain Western media, Google in 2010. https://t.co/gYPg9foFPd
What happens in Xinjiang matters, not only because of the millions of people under repression, but also because it is a testbed for the techno-authoritarian system China will impose at home and export (and weaponize) abroad. https://t.co/z3nKlAt1Jx

"China’s motivation was not necessarily protectionism; what mattered most was control of information. But the economics were that China limited the economic upside of U.S. companies far longer than the U.S. has tried to limit China’s." - Ben Thompson https://t.co/Tlf2Vh7CH3

.@SenatorMenendez: “Today we are all Uyghurs, and China’s horrific & systematic abuse of its Uyghur minority is an affront to all people who value the principles of universal human rights, and Beijing’s imposition of systemic mass surveillance in Xinjiang" https://t.co/nNTjUnnfO0

I keep saying this: Nothing is not known about Xinjiang Province, or East Turkestan. The reporting on it has been superb, meticulous, and diverse. No one will be able to say, credibly, "Oh, how shocking. I had no idea." https://t.co/WerM25GsUg

First major blow to Huawei - its phones pulled from big UK 5G launch by EE. EE boss says it's cos they're not sure they can honour long term customer contracts with Huawei phones. Ouch. https://t.co/CLnYKEj0Ha

If true this would be a NEW dimension to anti-China policy of USA - citing human rights violations as the reason for blocking Chinese companies. Not a good precedence. https://t.co/tRUZtsxqSN

ARM has halted all contracts and business with Huawei. This is a major blow to Huawei as without ARM designs it can't create its own processors. It might just be ARM being cautious, but if not then Huawei is dead and buried if US keeps this up https://t.co/vhp55Dzi5V pic.twitter.com/N6jeInfQey

Genuinely great to see attention on issues of cyber-authoritarianism, particularly in Xinjiang. But the fact that these moves come as trade war talks collapse will give Beijing lots of room to cry "politics." U.S. had info on role of U.S. companies—and conditions in XJ—long ago. https://t.co/39aW0Fgle1
