Freedom House has relaunched its China Dissent Monitor. The project was on hold due to budget cuts by the Trump government. It now has funds to operate for 60 days. It provides data and reports on protest and dissent activities in China
Halfway through the Freedom House book and the urge to invent a time machine just to punch some people is very real.
Me parece de risa ver #ONG,s supuestamente dedicadas a "medir" la #libertad, cuando "su" definición particular pareciera solo afectar los #derechos de esa #derecha #libertaria y #terrorista
Es cuestión p.e. de ver la lista de premiados por la #freedomhouse... no se si es para reír o llorar
Freedom House awarded its 2025 Beacon Award to the government and civil society of Taiwan for their "steadfast efforts to protect their own vibrant democracy, and to support the global struggle for freedom, in the face of escalating pressure from the Chinese Communist Party."

"Taiwan’s vibrant and competitive democratic system has allowed for regular peaceful transfers of power since 2000, and protections for civil liberties are generally robust. Ongoing concerns include inadequate safeguards against the exploitation of migrant workers and the Chinese government’s efforts to influence policymaking, media, and the democratic infrastructure."
A number of NGOs in Taiwan are likely to be affected by the freeze of funding from USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)
"Among those worst affected is a Freedom House project in Taipei, China Dissent Monitor, which has suspended all research."

48 Uyghurs who escaped from China, and have been detained in Thailand for a decade, are at imminent risk of return. Their case is an example of China's transnational repression
"...by saving these men, Bangkok, which was recently elected to the UN Human Rights Council, would avoid the costly international criticism... and demonstrate a practical commitment to human rights."
Freedom House's research on transnational repression has found ten repressive regimes commit the majority of the world's abuses. China is the worst offender followed by the governments of Russia, Turkey, and Egypt

While the international media focus on China's military threats against Taiwan, it's important to consider other ways the CCP seeks to gain influence
"Taiwan’s remarkable story of democratic resilience in the face of constant pressure can be shared with a wider audience and contribute to a better understanding of the CCP’s larger strategy in the region."
