US Senate Proposed Bipartisan Resolution Seeking to Declare "Genocide" of Uyghurs in China
Many US senators proposed a resolution on Tuesday (October 27), seeking to officially declare China's measures against Uyghurs and other Turkic-speaking Muslims in Xinjiang a genocide.
A group of bipartisan senators jointly proposed the draft resolution, but the Congress will not consider it until after the general election next week at the earliest. The resolution states that "China's measures against the Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region constitute genocide".
Republican Senator John Cornyn, the sponsor, said the resolution is a first step toward holding China accountable for its horrific actions. The Co-sponsor, Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley, said the United States could no longer remain silent. He added, "China's aggression against the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, including its escalating surveillance, imprisonment, torture, and forced 're-education camps', is nothing short of genocide”.

China escalating its propaganda strategies, expanding efforts in spreading misinformation and censoring negative news
The latest issue of Newsweek reported over 600 organisations with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), are participating in infiltration and polarisation in the US. In May, an official from the US Department of State said that Chinese propaganda strategies have escalated, by amplifying disinformation from Russia to attribute the COVID-19 pandemic to the US. China is expanding its influences by censoring negative comments and spreading positive ones to unite its people, while threatening to take economic and diplomatic actions to other countries, stated Atlantic magazine.
Analysts and officials from the Department of State suggested that, China is imitating the spread and amplifying misinformation from Russia, in order to put US to blame for the COVID-19 pandemic. "Beijing is pursuing a comprehensive and coordinated influence campaign to advance its interests and undermine the United States. The CCP is employing a whole-of-government approach, using political, economic, military, and information tools to advance its influence", stated Lea Gabrielle, Special Envoy and Coordinator of the Global Engagement Center at the U.S. Department of State.
She also mentioned social media accounts associated with the Chinese government, fabricating and spreading disinformation about the pandemic or simply false information. By questioning US subsidised-laboratories from the former USSR, China is spinning away the attention from its own laboratory at Wuhan, while other related accounts sculpting China as a model for others to follow in combating the virus.
China’s spread of disinformation is not limited to social media, but also state-subsidised international media such as China Daily, Global Times, and China Global Television Network (CGTN). The official stated that Beijing aims to propagate the idea that Chinese government is leading the world in fighting the pandemic, while the West is incapable of protecting their citizens or helping other countries.

Student activist leader Tong Chung Hon-Lam was taken by for plainclothes officer in café outside US consulate in Hong Kong. It was obviously police knew his whereabouts and intention.
Taiwan government repeatedly said that they would support the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong since last year. However, Beijing is viewing any move of Taiwan in offering help. Due to the political nature, it might be difficult for those high profile individuals to seek help of the Taiwan government in this period. The incident of 12 Hong Kong youths showed how dangerous to go to Taiwan unofficially.
Recently, the Chinese authority said they need to strengthen the management of all Chinese staff working in foreign media by requesting them to resubmit credentials. Also, many foreign journalists have been expelled.

China-US Relations: Newsweek Compares Hundreds of Chinese Communist Party Documents with Official Media Reports to Reveal the Party's Espionage Activities in the US
The latest issue of Newsweek reported that at least 600 organisations affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have engaged in united front work to infiltrate and create division in the United States, with ambitions that went beyond influencing the election. Newsweek claimed that it has reviewed the names of the members of these organisations, hundreds of CCP documents and reports by Chinese state media to expose the organisations’ covert interference and influence in the United States.
Newsweek probed into the 600 organisations in question by examining their memberships, regular joint activities and high-level meeting information accessible only to trusted members of CCP, as well as hundreds of government documents, CCP documents, state media reports, and the organisations' own releases, to learn that the organisations' interference ranged from promoting a positive view of China to outright espionage.
