Organiser: The European Foundation for Democracy
Description: The European Foundation for Democracy, in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy to Belgium and the U.S. Mission to the EU, cordially invites you to an online discussion with:
Samuel Cogolati - Member of the Belgian Federal Parliament, Ecolo; Zumretay Arkin - Program and Advocacy Manager, World Uyghur Congress; Lukas Andriukaitis - Associate Director, Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab). The ongoing attempts by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to hide or disguise the government’s persecution and detention of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang are further examples of how the CCP seeks to control and silence any criticisms abroad. Interference, intimidation, disinformation, political and economic pressure: these are also all strategies used by the Chinese authorities today in Belgium, Europe and beyond in order to properly advance Beijing’s “objective reality” and hegemonic agenda across areas such as research, think tanks, and worldwide media.
