    Peter Mandelson’s firm, Global Counsel, worked on behalf of a Chinese state entity linked to the country’s military and security establishment to undermine British scrutiny of a CCP-led corporate coup within Imagination Technologies, the UK’s second biggest microchip company.

    Much scrutiny lately of 'Chinese police stations' operating on the streets of Britain… What links the 'stations' to British politics, the Chinese Communist Party, an assault in the heart of London, & serious organised crime? This is big. 1/54

    Buckle up & prepare to be launched on a hypersonic journey thru the weird world of 🇬🇧's Confucius Institutes (CIs). Funded by the 🇨🇳 government & based inside 30 British universities, this is a crash course in why not to let authoritarian regimes into centres of learning. 1/36

    First, the stations. Thanks to @Peterinexile & @SafeguardDefend , the world knows about a network of ‘overseas police stations’ run by 🇨🇳 Investigations have been launched in a number of countries. The UK has 3, and we know their addresses. thetimes.co.uk/article/china-… 3/54

    Disclaimer: 4 British newspapers are aiming to publish slithers of this story. I’ve worked with two of them. I explain why I’m publishing this on Twitter at the bottom of this thread. This may put my safety in jeopardy. 2/54

    In case it wasn’t obvious from the pictures (more than one occassion) of him with Boris, Lin has had access to the likes of @theresa_may , @sajidjavid , and a good number of other Conservatives. Who is this guy? 5/54

    Don’t ask the Daily Mail. They have removed reference to Lin from their article about the police stations. Archived version: web.archive.org/web/2022101422… I began wondering who Lin was almost a year ago in November 2021 when I published a story on a fight in Chinatown. 6/54

    One of those addresses is also home to a company run by Lin Ruiyou 林瑞友. There’s also a video on TikTok of Lin promoting the station’s ‘service’ – douyin.com/discover?modal… 4/54

    This story needs urgent attention from the British media, politics & public (please RETWEET!!). I urge Conservatives to put their embarrassment aside and give this network the attention it deserves, as they have already committed to doing. x.com/MPIainDS/statu… 53/54
